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.

Used this item to cut linoleum tiles for a 180 sq ft room. After about 3/4 of the way through noticed pieces of the bushing and bearings starting to fall onto the floor. With this defect, it was difficult to cut 12” tiles.

Cuts aren't "clean" and requires much arm-strength

Would Not Recommend

Product did not work well. I stopped using it after 4 cuts because it wasn't making "clean" cuts, and required much arm-strength. So I switched to my mitre saw... created much more dust, but much easier and cleaner cuts. I will be returning this item to the retailer.

Great little cutter

Would Recommend

This tool is making my job so much easier. I am a 60 year old woman replacing the floors in our bathroom and bedrooms with vinyl planks. The cuts are straight and easy!

Not for peel & stick tile

Would Not Recommend

This is a cool idea. However, the peel and stick tile that I bought did not cut smoothly. The cutter made the cut edges rough. The edges were not clean and smooth. So I had to end up caulking the lines between the tiles to hide the imperfections.

Can’t do the job

Would Not Recommend

This cutter broke on first use. Plastic supports are weak and break easily. Total waste of money.

Weak tool

Would Not Recommend

Though it is nowhere to be found on the box or in the description, this is for very thin vinyl tile. Even at that, it is poorly made. Don't waste your time.

Use only for its intended purpose and you are OK

Wonderful little cutter for peel-and-stick vinyl flooring, it made my job much easier. I saw many bad reviews regarding the quality or sturdiness of this tool. After installing vinyl flooring in several rooms and my stairs, I have come to the conclussion that those bad reviews must be from people that try using this for the wrong job. This is only ment for the peel-and-stick type vinyl flooring that is only a couple os milimiters tick. This is NOT ment for the thicker (7+ mm) click-lock type flo...
