What Customers Are Saying

  • This is a heavy duty cutter that can handle just about any cuts you will need.

    Jim S.

  • With these, cutting things like a hose or pex line is quick and easy. This morning I even used them to cut the security straps from a new tool I bought, with ease. I like how easy it is to change the blade with no extra tools, and how it has a spot for holding a few extra blades in the handle. A few folks have seen me use these and asked where I got them, so they could get one.

  • I've been impressed by this cutting tool. The grip is lightweight and comfortable, yet sturdy. So far, I've used it to cut wire and cables of varying thicknesses - it handled them with ease.
