What is our Gyro-Cut Craft and Hobby Cutting Tool?
Our Gyro-Cut craft and hobby cutting tool is an ergonomically designed handheld craft cutting tool with a 360 degree rotating head so you can cut complex, detailed shapes easily and quickly. And unlike scalpel style craft knives the GYRO-CUT blade will not easily cut through skin in normal use, so it is much safer to use than other craft cutting knives.
With a Gyro-Cut tool you can easily cut shapes and patterns out of paper, vinyl, cardstock, plastic sheets and more with ease. The Gyro-Cut smoothly slices through materials with careful precision and can cut out even the smallest details. The Gyro-Cut’s slender handle is specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and to be held like a pencil so you can cut out shapes, words and designs with easy control and dexterity.
The Gyro-Cut is an incredibly versatile hobby and craft cutting tool that can be used for a wide variety of DIY craft and hobby projects. Here are some of the DIY craft projects the Gyro-Cut can be used for:

Then, lay the paper, magazine or stencil and paper down on the mat (whatever material you want to cut the scraps out of). Hold your Gyro-Cut Craft and Hobby Cutting Tool like a pencil and cut out the shapes you want for your scrapbooking project. Hold the Gyro-Cut face down perpendicular to the surface you are cutting on, rather than at an angle, for best results.
With the Gyro-Cut tool you can easily cut out waves, circles, spirals, any shape you want! The Gyro-Cut tool blade will swivel as you cut, so you can cut curving, intricate or detailed shapes.
