The Handguard is a safety device designed to prevent accidents arising through the use of rotary cutters.

Originally designed for patchworkers and quilters, it has found its way into other commercial areas such as signmaking, document conservation and wherever protection is taken seriously.

The Handguard is made of clear, colourless perspex. It has five gel plastic grips on the bottom so it will not slip on your rulers.
This guard is an improvement over the others on the market for several reasons:
1.The protecting barrier is a full 1.5” high, not a mere 1/4”.
2. It is not permanently attached to any ruler, so it can be easily switched to whichever ruler is being used.

Other advantages of the guard: -the vinyl dots not only prevent the guard from slipping, they enable the user to exert more even pressure on the ruler itself & prevent it from slipping on the fabric, vinyl etc. This also holds the ruler more securely so that it doesn't slide or twist around.

Made in Australia.
