I was at a quilt retreat where a couple people had what I *think* are Martelli brand, maybe someone can confirm. They're red, and have the handle that you hold like a bike handle, parallel to the table. Ugh they were absolutely horrid!! They were plastic and BOTH of them would squeak something awful with every single cut. It was like nails on a chalkboard. I wanted to run over and drop some oil on whatever it was that caused the racket!

That is disappointing. Have you tried putting Elmer's School glue on the screw and then tightening? That may work to hold the screw until needed to put in new blade. I did this with one of my Olfa cutters. That screw kept coming loose after a couple of cuts. It didn't take much effort to unscrew with the glue but it held the screw tight. After I thought I got my money's worth using it I tossed it.
