The box you keep walking past01
It deals with the box you have been stepping around for three weeks
It is never the small ones. It is the flat screen box, the appliance carton, the thing too big for the bin and too awkward to face on a Tuesday evening, so it waits in the garage for a month. One owner, on exactly that box: "This little gem cut it down in less than two minutes!!"
The Double Duty Hand02
It cuts the whole stack without leaving your hands sore
With scissors a cut is not a motion, it is a rep. One large box is dozens of reps and a stack is hundreds, through one thumb joint. A powered blade does the closing. One owner: "This has greatly reduced the pain in my hand. It has also reduced the amount of time it used to take to do that task."
Double-wall and heavy board03
It gets through the thick board that stops scissors dead
Appliance boxes, furniture boxes, forty-pound litter cartons. The board is thicker than household scissors can close on, so the job stalls. The blade keeps turning where a hand blade gives up. One owner: "I cut three boxes down to fit in my trash can in the time it would take me to cut the flaps off a box with scissors."
Off your knees, off the floor04
It lets you do the whole pile sitting down
Breaking down boxes on the floor is a kneeling job with your body weight behind every cut. Sitting, the tool supplies the force and you only steer, so the job stops being something you put off. One owner: "I sat watching Downton Abbey and dissected 8 boxes perfectly so they will all fit in my recycle bin."
When it is a real job05
It takes a room of carpet out in strips one person can carry
Now and then it is not a box, it is a floor. Carpet does not leave a house as a room, it leaves as strips. The guide lifts the carpet off the floor so one person can cut, roll and carry without renting anything. Separate the carpet from its padding first, because padding clogs the blade. One owner: "Five rooms of carpet removed. SO much faster and easier than it would have been."
No exposed edge06
No cuts, no bandaids, no blade packs
A utility knife gets harder to steer as the hand behind it tires, which is why people cut themselves late in a stack. Here the edge sits recessed behind a guide and the material feeds through the opening. One owner: "Using this tool has completely eliminated getting sliced up accidentally by a utility knife/box cutter. (I hate when that happens)"
60 day guarantee + lifetime warranty07
And if it turns out not to be for you, you are not stuck with it
Sixty days is deliberately longer than one test cut on the kitchen counter. Take it to the box in the garage, the carpet in the basement, the rigid board on the workbench. If it is not right, send it back. And if it ever fails after that, the lifetime warranty means we replace it.
