    Here's a link to the one at joanns. I can use a coupon code and get it for 50% off.

    http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...ID=xprd1130656

    Thanks!

    Looks like I can get the Dear Jane software for 50% off. Which makes it 30 bucks. plus s/h.
    Coupon code RFGIFT358

    Nevermind, coupon code won't work on the software.

    Yes I have that one. Have only used it a few times, it works ok. But you can get the same thing at Bed Bath & Beyond. Only it is a handle for use in the bathroom. Other than being a different color it is the same thing and it may be cheaper. Check into and see, but then 50% is a good deal.

    I use the smaller size Gripper more then the large one. The smallest one is a must for the small ruler. It's so much safer to use the rotary cutter with your fingers out of the way on the small rulers.

    Is it better for your wrist when you use it?
    Thanks

    Anytime you can grip something with your whole hand, it takes the strain off of your fingers and wrists :wink:
