This is the greatest tool that I have found for cutting vinyl siding, It is light quick and cuts circles and angles well. it holds a charge well but recharges a little slowly

I did not know there even existed a tool like this. I have needed something like this for years,but since I'm not a contractor or pro,I was not aware of it's existance until CPO ran it as a special .Thank you guys for a fantastic new toy !

I deal with a lot of recycleing cardboard.It works very well cutting it up to get in the bins.I have also used it in laying Tile and linoleum. It cut that very well.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Forget cutting anything metalic, except aluminum foil perhaps.
Has an annoying overload feature so it stops unexpectedly and you have to release the trigger to reset it. Quite jarring.
I've owned two, both had out-of-round shafts causing it to jam easily.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Easly binds, hard to position, not enough power.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Not as powerful as I thought it would be.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Recently cut foam board for mounting and framing needlework. Try as I might, I cannot produce a perfect;y straight line. Part of the problem may be that I am left-handed and the guide is on the left side; so I can't see it when I cut. Part of it is that the tool draws the material right into the blade and if one isn't ready to control the material it can go off course quickly.
I still say it is a great tool!

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Upon receiving and charging the tool, I used it to cut a flap from a cardboard box. The smooth straight cut and the ease with which it was performed impressed me greatly. I can imagine many uses for the tool. My wife has many projects in need of framing. I'm hoping this tool will cut matting well.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Great tool, for cutting straight lines in plastic, paper, etc.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Great for opening bubble packs or for cutting any flexable material.

I find it very usefull to cut the seam on a box and invert it to make a new box with a clean interior. Or Just make smaller boxes out of larger ones.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Works well on flat surfaces only. The hard plastic packages all have odd surfaces, this tool cannot maneuver thru them. Get out the boxcutter.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

The continuous blade sharpening makes this a valuable cutter when there is alot to cut.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

We use the cutter for just about anything large that needs cutting where sicissors would be required. Although we have not so far found a cutting job that is not appropriate for the Skil Cutter, it performs exceptionally.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I like the concept and lightwieght, but the lack of power and the fact that it will not cut and turn makes this gaget a little pricey. Had to make an "s" cut on a piece of cardboard and I could not turn it from side to side.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Opens the plastic packaging that is difficult with a scissors. Turns too slow for fabric. You will find yourself reaching for it instead of a knife or scissors.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

for cutting sheet metal, this old house advertized that it could perform this task! it can not!

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Does everything that it is advertised to do. Great tool to have in the toolbox.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Was ready to buy the cutter at full retail until I saw was available reconditioned and at tremendous savings.

A like new cutter with $10 off, how could I not do it.

Disposed of a lot of boxes from x-mas in minutes. Much better than a utility knife. Great tool!!!!

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I sliced open sealed packages very easy

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Had it about 8 hours. Cut everything I've tried it on. Good for light to medium use. A heavy duty version would be great for professionals. This won't hold up for everyday use but for a homeowner or hobbiest will be just fine.
Now for one huge problem that I see. Where do you find replacement blades! They should be sold right with the product in the store or as an option when ordering and not by calling customer service. Yes it does have an auto-sharpener but what happens when the blade can't be sharpened anymore. Throw it away? I think not. I'll do a little more searching and if I can't find them then mine will be a return. I can't recomend this at this time.

Handt tool to have around for cutting carpet and other items.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

So far I've only used it on couragated boxes and it preformed well. I think it would do a good job on rubber sheet goods.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Powerful for size -- handy cutting of about everything withinn it's capability. Just what I needed for my personal use.

I was very disappointed with this product. My husband opened it on Christmas Day and it didn't work. He tried and tried to charge it and see what was wrong and it never worked once. [...]However, I'm not sure I would trust ordering again.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

use it to cut heavy felt like materal, 5/32" thick and have no problem's, cuts time and wear and tear on my hands, plus the fustration factor.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I own an Auto Trim Shop. I have to cut all types of fabric for cars, boats, and furniture as well as carpet for cars, and boats. This cutter cuts everything I have put it to so far and the battery last all day. I'm very satisfied.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

This is an extremely useful tool. You can use it for opening thick plastic packaging, cutting carpet, and it has many other uses. I also used it to cut shingles....I know that sounds impossible but seriously, it worked great! Another thing that I like about it is that not only is it sharp but it keeps itself sharpened. I also like the fact that it is almost impossible to cut yourself while using it.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I bought this for my husband as a gift and now we can't live without it. I bought one for my son and one for my brother-in-law for Christmas and they are thrilled with it. The way things are packaged nowadays, you no longer need a bomb to get the package open.

On tiling,carpet. I did not cut tile that easy and keep stoping could cut through the tile or carpet.

Used in gun range to cut cardboard target backing.
Does a fairly good job.
Sometimes it binds too easily and is hard to get going.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Has cut everything I have needed too cut so far.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

This thing doesn't cut like advertised. I've had trouble cuttng just about everything it should be able to cut.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

When opening plastic enclosed items, such as gifts, this save finger nails, and nerves. Cutting through most plastic wraps of varying thicknesses it's been a snap with this tool. Well worth having in the tool box.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

It a very nice tool and help with thing that require steady cutting. Battery last for very long time.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Excellent tool for shop and household. GREAT tool for cutting open items from sacks of fertilizer to opening those horrific plastic containers that rip up your hands! Holds charge for a REALLY long time.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Excellent product for those around the home projects. I have not found anything that it will not cut and cut neatly and clean.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

makes cutting of 3/8" or smaller material quick and easy. although the speed is a little on the slow side, it still much faster than using a knife.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Cuts all kinds of material. One of the best uses I have put it to is to open things that are packaged in plastic. It makes short and easy work of these.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Quick easy always ready to use.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

My aging hands have found it difficult to cut 'heavier' materials with scissors. So far, this item has mostly been used to open some rather heavy plastic packaging over the holidays and I used it to make some decorations out of aluminum sheeting. These projects were so easy with this tool. I anticipate that it will be a go-to product for many years.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

superb design and solved a problem as there is no other product useful for cutting up boxes so efficiently and quickly

I USE THIS PRODUCT TO CUT UP ALL MY CARDBOARD BOXES, ETC. BEFORE I PUT IN MY RECYCLING BIN. SO MUCH EASIER THAN THE OLD RAZOR BLADE CUTTER I USED PREVIOUSLY.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I found this tool to be very useful for light household projects. Keeping in mind that its run by a 3.6 volt battery, don't pick projects that are beyond its means. It zips through cardboard, thin plastic and wall paper. I wouldn't recommend its use on thin veneer( it gives a pretty rough cut). Also the claim of it being able to cut material up to a 1/4 inch thick might be stretching the limits. I tried it on 1/4 vinyl tiles and it struggled even with a full charge. Don't overtax it and it is a very good, simple to use, handy item to have around your house or workshop.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Wll cut leather up to 2.5 oz. Any leather above that weight, it will try to cut it but can't. The battery goes dead and has to be recharged.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

First use was for cutting up an old carpet into small strips. Sure did save me a lot of time ... and was easy on the hands especially since I have carpal tunnel and tendinitis in my fingers...I did have to clean out carpet fibers from the blade .. every few minutes ... but I would still buy again and recommend it.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

We are pleased with this cutter. It was all it said it should be. The only con is that we needed the cutter itself to get the package open! Seriously, this is good for everything from opening packages to cutting cardboard and even cutting wire, plastic fencing (to keep rabbits out of our garden) and thin wood strips. So glad we bought it.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

cuts through plastic packaging,fabric,paper,etc with ease.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I've used this cutter on paper, vinyl, rubber, cardboard and plastic with no problems. It seems to have more then adequate torque and can be used for very precise cuts if your careful. The grip is comfortable and the weight is not burdensome over long periods of use. The battery life is excellent. For light cutting, this is the tool. I highly recommend this cutter!

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Bought this for my husband who has every tool imaginable. He loves it. He keeps it handy to open all packaging like those hard to open plastic packaging. He uses it to cut up cardboard to recycle and so much more. He wants another one to keep in the garage!

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Opening those nasty hard plastic wrappings. Tried it on a paper that was impregnated with a tar substance. Do not do that. A miserable time cleaning the blade which we could not remove for easy cleaning. Otherwise, a terrific little tool.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

I purchased this to open plastic packaged products for which it works very well, and to cut materials for hobby projects. The only problem I have it that most of the time I can't find the tool because my wife has taken it! She uses it all the time to cut fabric for her sewing projects. I'm thinking about a second one so that we can each have one.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

This is a great tool to have around the house. I have struggled for years with opening the things I buy that are wrapped in the heavy plastic protection. In fact there have been times I would not buy something because the hassle of getting it out of the package is more than I can cope with. This cutter is excellent. I keep it in the kitchen for so it is handy.

I suffer from arthritis so it is particularily helpful to me.

I gave each of my sisters and my best friend one of these cutters for Christmas this year. Now they can enjoy the same freedom as I do.

Comments about Skil Skil 3.6V Lithium-Ion Power-Cutter:

Bought this as a gift for my husband and although it's not used often it comes in handy for those difficult cutting job. We used it to cut carpeting for our stairs and it worked great. Made quick work and a straight cut. It's one of those specialty tools that won't get used often but will be great when needed.
