- Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2025Verified PurchaseThis tool lives up to its promise: a lightweight tool for light-duty work. Perfect for cutting foam, plastics, or light wood.
It allows for long sessions without hand or wrist fatigue.
The dual trigger is a real plus.
And the safety system is a real pain...
So much so that I took it apart to find a tool that's actually usable and ergonomic in real-life conditions.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2024Verified PurchaseAs described and does what it is supposed to do
- Reviewed in Canada on October 12, 2024Verified PurchaseCan barely cut through anything. Bought. Blade package and tried lots of them. Tried to get in touch with manufacturer customer service and we received no reply! Waste of $. I don’t even want to give it 1 star.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 29, 2021Verified PurchaseI’m a sprinkler fitter and cut a lot of blaze 1” tubing . Very light weight I run it on a 2 Ah battery to keep it light weight for over head work . The two trigger option is a great application. Pulled it out of the box slapped a battery on it and it came with two blades ready to use.

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2024Verified PurchaseIdéal pour les endroits restreints ✌️
- Reviewed in Canada on November 6, 2023Verified PurchaseThis guy is probably good for light duty, me as a plumber just use it to cut the PVC pipes, also it needs to take time to learn how to use it because the shape of handel is a littel bit wired.
