And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Having used both wheel cutters and rocker cutters for chains you all know the names of, the rocker is by far the best way to go. Go to fast with a wheel and you can easily wind up with a half-moon cut. Much easier to cut a straight line with a rocker. If you've a tough crust, there's only so much down force with one hand, but with a rocker you've got both hands/arms to push through the first time. Rip through some hot ass cheese with a wheel and it flips up into your fingers like you need cheese-mud flaps. Not so much fun when you instinctively flip your hand to fling off the cheese and the cutter goes flying. Never such an issue with a rocker, which cuts more quickly in the heat of battle.
My son just bought one of those and is cooking a pizza as I speak. He loves it and has probably thrown that wheel cutter in the trash. I doubt anyone could go wrong buying one.
If you're doing half-moons with a wheel you're doing it wrong and probably never did it right to begin with. I like the rockers for deep dish pizza or the like, but that's about it. That being said, it does have a place in your kitchen.

DeleteAll true. Been using a rocker for 10 years and don't even own a wheel any more.

DeleteDo they make one shaped like a Klingon bat'lith? Asking for a nerd friend.
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind.
