What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this vinyl flooring cutter. Many report it fails to cut thicker LVP, LVT, or 6mm planks as advertised, with frequent breakage including handles drooping and bases cracking after initial use. However, a significant group praises it for thin peel-and-stick vinyl tile, noting smooth, accurate cuts that outperform box cutters. Several criticize the cheap construction and feel misled by marketing suggesting compatibility with thicker materials. Overall, satisfaction depends entirely on application—excellent for thin tiles, unsuitable for thicker planks.

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...

Works in a pinch

Would Not Recommend

It got the job done, but about 10 tiles in it started throwing ball bearings and it required a lot more force and a jerking motion to cut the second half of the tile

A must have for vinyl tile!

Would Recommend

This cutter was just what I needed! I did a side entry floor with groutable peel and stick tiles. Since it was a small area I needed to make a lot of cuts. This worked so easily and the cuts were as crisp as the edges from the manufacturer. I did have to use scissors on some cuts that weren’t a straight line but 95% was done with this. Absolutely worth the cost.

Decent cutter

Would Recommend

Good cutter for my peel n stick backsplash, although it didn't always seem to cut in a straight line, but it got done what I needed it to do for the most part.

Does the job!

Would Recommend

Works as expected. I was able to cut vinyl planks with ease. It is a smaller cutter, so I wasn't able to always cut the length of a 36" long plank when needed...but I used a utility knife & straight-edge in those instances.
