Makita PC01R3 12V max CXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Multi-Cutter Kit (2.0Ah)

I go through a lot of cardboard. The fact is that large boxes are a burden on the recycling system if they are not broken down. I got this cutter so I could make a cardboard "salad" of sorts that allows me to get more cardboard in the recycling container. The small pieces should be trivial for recycling.This has plenty of power and I have only lost 1 bar of battery power after making a few hundred cuts. I am definitely glad I did not opt for a 4V model. It takes a little practice at first to figure it out, but then it is a smooth cut. You can even make a near perfectly straight cut by aligning

I wasnt sure on this, although I own alot of great makita tools, the reviews were all over the place, I do alot of remodel work including carpet. I thought this might be good for cutting the carpet alot more exact than the razor method Ive always used. I was happily surprised how well it works. Cuts house carpet no issue at all. Always cut carpet upside down of course even with this tool. I just wish they made this in 18v like the rest of my makita tools.

This tool is the best ~$100 I’ve spent in a while. The box knife has been relegated to opening the boxes, and no longer for breaking them down. I immediately got to work on a pre-spring clean breaking down boxes for my parents and again at my own house. It’s not a chainsaw so yes some of the thicker cardboard will be a little effort, but it had no problems slicing through some double thick cardboard today. It will eat through Amazon boxes in seconds.The blade is constant self sharpening so the edge is always sharp, some of the other options had an integral sharpening stone but you had to engag

Cutting heavy cardboard box seams - for disposal (vs. my previous attempts at foot stomp crushing) I'm finding this Makita more difficult to maneuver than I expected - but it does work. Just in case I also purchased an extra OEM cutting blade = difficult to find.

I get a LOT of amazon boxes and they pile up like a mountain. I needed a quick go-to tool for cutting them down. I HATE using a utility cutter because its too easy to cut yourself while free-holding the boxes. In general, with a knife, you are ALWAYS cutting toward yourself because you need leverage to press the knife into the cardboard.This Makita multi-cutter solves this problem because by its nature you are pushing the tool away. Much safer. In fact, i'm not sure you actually could cut yourself with this thing. The power and speed are more than adequate. Battery life is fantastic. Cutting f

I bought this tool to cut cardboard boxes into pieces for the recycling bin. After some practice, it works fine for regular cardboard shipping boxes. I found that kneeling on the box while cutting it works well. The blade seems sharp enough, but it does take a little bit of effort to push through the cardboard. It's nice that the guard protects the surface you're cutting on (and the blade).I plan on keeping the tool, but may look for better options in the future.The tool breaks when used on thick (1/4") shipping boxes. The blade will get pushed out of alignment, requiring partial disassembly t

With a little practice this thing zips through the horde of amazon boxes my wife and I manage to accumulate monthly. Many other uses, but this one is a big time saver (and saves space in the recycle bin). Its also a reliable and well known brand so i don't mind spending the premium over the XOQHUKwhatever brands that dominate this platform.

Broke first time using!
