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.

Worthless for cutting vinyl!

Would Not Recommend

I ordered this mainly because of the price. I needed it to cut vinyl plank flooring that Iam going to install in my kitchen. This thing hardly put a dent in it! It might work to cut paper with. but that's about it! Steer clear of this item.

Doesn't cut straight

Would Not Recommend

I'm trying to cut cheap peel and stick and it cuts like butter, but for the life of me I can't get a straight cut! I figured I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. as of now this thing is a piece of junk. spend more money and buy something better.

Don't buy! Listen to the reviews

Would Not Recommend

I figured I would give it a try even after reading all bad reviews.Like a dummy, I decided to try it because of the 1 good review lol let me just start off by saying what I used it for so just incase it's what I am using.I was trying to cut vinyl for back splash and everytime I went to cut it,it would just bend it and mess up the vinyl.

frustrated

when I asked the flooring associate if this would cut the vinyl plank flooring she sold me she said "Yes" Her answer should have been "NO". Lowes is hiring inexperienced people to advise about products they have obviously Never used. She could have at least opened the APP and read or advised me to read the answer is NO it won't cut vinyl plank!

Straight cuts are challenging

Would Not Recommend

This is the cheapest vinyl flooring cutter out there. Just remember that you get what you pay for. It is extremely challenging to cut a straight line with this cutter. I just had a small project and figured this would be fine. It ended up stretching out the project as every single tile I cut. I need it to be trimmed or dressed. For the price you are better off getting a pair of heavy duty Kobalt scissors. Or spend more on a better cutter.

multiple issues

Would Not Recommend

The position of the blades make lining up the flooring to be cut very difficult. Upon trying to cut flooring, the blade position once again will score (not cut) either side of the flooring, not the middle. Without being able to either line up you flooring or being able to cut or even score the center of your piece, the is no point to use this tool.
