What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this vinyl flooring cutter. Many report it fails to cut through standard luxury vinyl planks thicker than 4-5mm, only scoring the material and requiring manual snapping. Several describe the plastic base or handle cracking after just one to three cuts, calling it cheaply made. A smaller group finds it works well for thin peel-and-stick vinyl tile under 4mm, praising clean cuts. Overall, reviewers are split between strong dissatisfaction with performance and durability versus limited satisfaction for specific thin-material applications.

Unable to use straight edge

Would Not Recommend

Useless to try and use the straight edge. Have to free hand the cut which is not easy on its own. This will be returned.

Usage

Would Recommend

So many complaints on breakage and such. READ the box people ! Says cuts UP TO 2.5mm tile. If you're trying on something thicker no wonder you're giving bad reviews. Guit blaming a product because you aren't smart enough to research what you're buying. This cutter has worked fine for me. Couldn't find the tile i wanted in 12" x 12" so had to get 12" x 24". I used this cutter to make 12" x 12" tiles to cover over 200 square feet with no problems what so ever. Clearer straight cuts. So all you ...

Not a bad cutter.

Would Recommend

For the price of this cutter, it does a excellent job. I don't know about trying to use it for long. Term, but for around the house, installing works great.

Works great at first, then...

This does a great job at first, but here's the issue: In order to get the LVT up to the ruler straight edge to get a good 90 degree cut, the blade has to be fully open. After about 10 cuts or so, the cutting handle starts to droop. This closes down the cutting blade just enough to close the opening so that you have to hold up the handle with one hand, and then with your other hand, get your LVT aligned with the straight edge plus aligning to your cut mark. You almost need three hands to operate....

craftsmanship not good

not even 30 minutes after picking up the item, unboxed it, tried to use it once the base cracked and broke. Took the item back not even 12 hours later.

Junk

Would Not Recommend

It was easier using a box cutter and snapping the tile than using this. It also says it can cut a 12in plank. It wasnt large enough to cut it
