What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this tool as a convenient, time-saving solution for light-duty angled cuts on thin materials like quarter round, shoe molding, PVC, and MDF trim. Many highlight its ease of use, precision angle guides, and appeal for DIYers avoiding larger equipment setup. However, a substantial portion report significant durability concerns, with blades bending or breaking after just a few uses. Several note the lack of replaceable blades compounds frustration. While most find it effective for occasional trimming tasks, blade reliability issues undermine confidence in long-term value.

Right tool for the right job

Would Recommend

I needed to add some quarter rounds to improve the aesthetic value of the bottom of some built-in cabinets. I didn't want to mess with getting a saw or a larger piece of equipment to make the corners and smaller bits just right. I'm new to homeownership and don't consider myself a super handyman (yet) but this was the perfect tool for the job. Easy to use and quality product in my opinion.

Cuts Well no Guide Rail

Would Not Recommend

Using this to cut trim for interior installation. Found this useful for the cuts, very sharp, however, this one does not come with a Guide Rail which makes angle cuts a little more complicated with things moving around.

Good hand tool for small jobs!

Would Recommend

These work great! We used them to cut a piece of decorative molding to replace some on an exterior column. They cut easily and without too much effort.

Blade slips

Would Not Recommend

I got approximately 3 good cuts on pine quarter round before the blade started walking. It'll cut still, but on random angles. Waste of $25.

Miter snips

I thought it would have upper and lower blades, it didn’t. The very tip only cuts.

Worst Ever

Would Not Recommend

Absolutely terrible, I have good grip strength and can’t see how most normal people would be able to use it. Doesn’t cut straight, tried sharpening, did not help. Maybe somewhat useful on PVC but this couldn’t even cut through pine quarter round without messing it up. Don’t waste your money or time, ish I would’ve read the reviews before.

So very disappointed. Blade bent halfway through a 10'x13' room, cutting toe moulding.

Product video is beyond useless

Would Not Recommend

I was thinking of getting this product and clicked on the video hoping to see it in action. Instead, the video turned out to be a cheesy ad for the brand. Not a thing about the product; it wasn’t even mentioned once! And the ad lasted forever. In the time it took me to watch this stupid thing, I learned how to play the trumpet and speak Spanish. The birds outside made a nest and hatched their eggs. I wrote a novel. The sun rose and set 100 times. Seriously, don’t inflict these ads on us when we ...
