What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this tool for cleanly cutting acrylic, plexiglass, and polycarbonate sheets, with many noting it cuts "like butter" and makes clean lines when used correctly with a straightedge and firm pressure. Most find it affordable and effective for light diffusers and poster frames. However, a significant portion report durability concerns, describing the tool as flimsy with blades breaking on first use or plastic bodies snapping under pressure. Several advise buying something sturdier, noting it won't last long despite initial performance. Overall, reviewers recommend it for occasional projects if used with proper technique, though durability remains a consistent frustration.

Make the blade really sharp so it cut like butter

Would Not Recommend

That it wasn't sharp enough to cut through plexiglass but that's what it is for and it didn't do it's job

I think my review said it all.

Would Recommend

This product is far better than the same one sold at HD which was a piece junk in my humble opinion. I purchase their plastic cutter first and it wouldn't cut butter. Then I came to you and purchase the above item. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. Cut plastic like a hot knife cut butter. Thanks for being there with products a DIY need to complete the project.

Not sure why there's bad reviews

Would Recommend

This works better than any tools I've used. I'm convinced all negative reviews weren't using it right. Just glide it only multiple times then it snaps off clean. I could even keep going and cut almost all the way through a 1/8 inch sheet. Seems well made, not sure how long the blade will stay sharp, but for only $5 I can just buy another.

Blade snapped after an hour

Would Not Recommend

I bought this plastic cutter to cut a sheet of 0.08 inch acrylic. At first, it worked decently well and would make good scores after a few passes. The blade is very flexible, so if you dont put perfectly perpendicular pressure, then it'll bend and ruin your straight line. After about an hour of using it, I was scoring the sheet, and as I got nearly halfway across the sheet, the blade snapped and hit me an inch below my eye. Luckily, that was my last cut to make, but it was still not a fun experi...
