Customer reviews

« Avoid it! »

This is the most useless beveling and x-acto tool I have ever used. If you want control, just use a pen knife. If you want beveling, go ahead and buy the $100+ dedicated tool. This is a pathetic attempt at creating a cheap tool. I cant get it to work right and I've been at it for a while. I hope I can return this.

Stupid stupid stupid. Ill let you know if I can't return it.

If I could give it negative stars, I would, but there wouldn't be enough. 1 Star is TOO kind

« Disappointing Purchase »

Didn't cut deep enough for my needs and didn't have an attachment to keep it even on 90 degree cuts as it does on 45 degree cuts.

« Flimsy »

I was pleased to get this product in; my goal in buying it was to cut some nice flash diffusers out of foam board for my off-camera flashes in the photo studio. Unfortunately, the very first time I used this knife, the little plastic wedge which holds the blade at 45 degrees broke off. I wasn't applying much pressure - just enough to cut foam board, but off it snapped. If you're cutting some very light materials (lighter than foamboard, I guess?), I suppose this would be fine, but for me, I felt like this was a waste of money. The theory's there but the build quality isn't.

« Useless for anything but foam board »

The only use of this knife is for cutting 45-degree edges on foam board (and why anyone would want to do that is beyond me). It is totally useless for anything else, including the mat board that I bought it for. The minimal instructions and diagrams are equally worthless.

« Not for 45 degree cuts on mat board »

This knife may be OK for foam, but it does not work for 45 degree cuts on mat board. It is flimsy; instructions are not included. I will return this item.
