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.

cuts through craft sticks like butter

Would Recommend

I build miniature structures as a hobby and have been looking for a tool to cut through the craft sticks I use easier and quicker than the floral snips I was using— have been very satisfied so far with this pair!

Quality is not craftsman quality

Would Not Recommend

First off, I've never had many issues with craftsman tools as a whole. But these should be pulled from shelves. There are way better options out there with replaceable blades. These worked fine on PVC and pine shoemoulding. If you plan to use on oak, it'll bend with absolute ease. I was cutting very small mounding (red oak) 11/16"x3/8" and they bent on my first cut, without going through. The bend is unfixable and these do not come apart easily to try to straighten out. If they were made like Cr...

Broke after 3 cuts

Would Not Recommend

waste of money and material

Would Not Recommend

Cut through shoe mold great, but every cut has an open angle because the blade bows out when cutting. I will be returning it Lowes. Hands down, the worst tool I've ever bought.

They cut straw-sized dowels.

Would Not Recommend

They shipped my dowel. I wish they had an aiming lever like some others like them at a popular online stores do, but I needed them quickly, so I settled.
