highly recommended

great cutter

I purchased this tool based on other reviews at Amazon. I use it to break down card board boxes,cut heavy craft paper and open items received in plastic containers.

Still going strong after around two years

Got this as soon as it came out at a local brick and mortar, so may even be more than two years old now, don't remember exactly when I got it.

Battery still is strong and holds a charge, so I"m luckier than some of the other reviewers who talked about having battery concerns.

Others have mentioned how it has problems feeding things too thick, but for me that's not an issue since I use it exclusively for cardboard boxes. Everything I get is purchased almost exclusively online, so the Fed Ex and UPS guys are here all the time. I end up with way too many cardboard boxes to break down, as our recycling pickup requires everything in 2x2 pieces. So I got this to help that task, and it sure did.

Much better than using a razor cutter as I had been, and the way it protrudes makes it work great at the edges of the boxes to cut each side away.

The button locations were not a problem for me at all, feels just fine. It's comfortable to hold for a while and shaped well to fit into the hand, and gives you a great grip to push it through the cardboard.

I like that the light changes color so you can see when it needs charging, as well as can see when the charging is complete. It's nice to be able to just turn it on for a sec to verify that it has a charge before I go to use it.

It's also nice that it works at a good speed just about to the very end of battery life. It doesn't just slow down and become useless, it keeps working right up to the end.

For someone like me who gets a ton of cardboard in the mail, it's an absolute requirement.

A Must Have for Cardboard boxes

Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter. Note that I only have used this item for breaking down boxes from our business shipments. I was tired of cutting down boxes using a standard box-cutter blade, for flat packing.

For single-wall cartons, this cutter slices through the box folds/creases with ease, like pushing an self-powered lawnmower.
For single-wall cartons, cuts not-along the box folds, are still a breeze, with minimal effort.
Double-wall shipping cartons require a tad bit more effort to push the cutter, but nothing worth complaining about for a battery powered hand-cutter.

I have yet to find a battery-powered cutter that performs better then this model. I cut a few hundred boxes a week, about 20" cubed or larger, and have no complaints. With 30 minute box cutting sessions per day, I only have to recharge this cutter at the end of each week. The power indicator turns red, when you need a charge, just like a beard shaver.

Definately recommended for breaking down single or doublewall shipping cartons.

It works but...

We needed to replace our year old B&D after it died. We use it solely to cut up cardboard boxes for the trash.

The old unit may have died while being left in the charger too long. When I read this Skil unit would not be damaged from overcharging, we decided to give it a shot.

This Skil unit cuts smoother and with less applied force. However the side mounted blade, the inconvenient location of the locking button, and other ergonomic shortcomings make this unit awkward to use. Or more simply, the old B&D was fun to use, this is not.
