Does it have a rotating handle to do vertical cutting?

Yes it rotates in both directions which really helps when cutting the sides. I've had this tool for 2 growing seasons and it has held up well. I've been able to cut 200' of hedges in 2-4 hours depending on how long it has been since the last cut.

Yes, the handle rotates and LOCKS in 3 positions: left/center/right (9/12/3 o'clock positions) which makes it convenient for BOTH left or right hand use. It also has double-action cutting blade action (both upper/lower blades move to cut).

Yes. It adjusts vertically and has limited adjustments for angling to the side.

Yes, that is correct. Orientation refers to which side you would like the handle to be on.

Yes, of course. There's a red switch underneath you can flip like most drills that reverses the direction of rotation (so you can screw in or out screws).

Yes. There's a handle underneath that you can loosen and angle slightly sideways. It's more used if you're shooting on an unlevel surface, and need to level the head.

Not that I was aware of. Did have an older model that had a blade attachment but think you would need to look at a larger model.

It does not have a handle. I don't have a problem with it. It is very sharp.

No--It does not rotate. I agree that this is a very nice appliance. I have short hair so I use the smaller barrel.

Can't say, mine came with handles for X/Y rotation; I can't remember if they were included in package or if they were already installed on vise, regardless, the vise I received had both handles.

No. There is a button to push on the handle. But it is not spring assisted. Iactually don't even use this knife anymore because of that reason

I asked support about this before and was advised to do it this way: use your right arm to hold onto the vertical stand, where the active blade is; and use the left hand to turn the spindle. The girl in the YouTube video actually showed it could be done pretty easily: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiSSjRX3WKo

Yes, well, it is not a loose swivel, but the handle twists were it attaches to the vacuum, allowing it to move at different angles.

Yes, you can put the blade in upside down if you need that angle on the cut.

Sorry so late. Yes the blade head does pivot. rotational like newer ones.The german bone handle ones mentioned elsewhere on ebay are more like a spring in and out action rather than pivot but use same blade

No handle, but it turns easily and smoothly. You just give it a "push" and it rotates.

No it does not. I have not found that to be a problem. It cuts clean and handles easily.

yes it does spin around and can adjust the angle by a handle that's attached
