Wondering if it will cut grape tomatoes too?

I am not sure...maybe if they were firm but it would be time consuming. I use it primarily for garlic and ginger root. It is a good slicer, but is small. Nice for a little amount but too small for preparing garlic to dehydrate!

Too small for slicing tomatoes and grapes, I don't think this would be a good idea.

Though I haven't attempted tomatoes, I think first of all it would have to be a smallish tomato, and secondly, that the slices would be too thin. Don't think the cutting wires would be strong enough to get through the skin of the tomato. It would require force and that would end up squishing the flesh. Maybe it would do well with the perfect size and texture tomato. I don't think it is what you are looking for.

I thought it would be too small but it's actually a nice size for quick jobs; a small onion or tomato, especially grape tomatoes which I like to cut in half. It works well also for herbs and garlic on my small cutting board.

Yes, if you keep your vine pruned . just make sure you have it grounded in real well.

Yes. I've used it on knives I've forged black smithing as well as folding pocket knives, kitchen knives, etc.. This has made using a kitchen knife so much better. I can now slice a tomato thinly or dice it easily.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Can't really tell you that, but I do know they will cut 2 " wild grapevines with no trouble and that is why I purchased them. I have cut literally hundreds with them and they worked great !!

NO. this is a serrated edge. It's also called a utility knife. I use it mainly to cut tomatoes and fruit/vegetables . I also use it more than anything to cut sandwiches.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

This Corona LR-3460 is good for cutting grape vines up to about 3/8 inch in diameter and fresh growth. Larger than 3/8 and / or vines older than a couple of years might be difficult cut. For older and heavier vines and tree branches up to 3/4 inch I recommend a Fiskars "Power-Stroke" Pruning Stik Tree Pruner.

Not satisfactorily. I just tried one and it didn't cut the tomato skin so it resulted in a smushed tomato with little strips from the wires. The skin seems to be the problem. I cut a tomato in half and tried cutting through the portion without the skin but the wires hung up on the skin again - So.... I will say that it is not satisfactory for cutting tomatoes.

This is a great slicer but will not cut slices that wide Also, tomatoes do not do the best, because the slices are thin and they tend to fall apart.

I would say yes, if you are cutting green stalks or fresh growth. I am assuming you have less than a dozen vines. I have a small vineyard, over 200 Niagara and New York Muscat vines and produce about 2,000# a year. I prune mine by hand using an anvil hand pruner as I walk the rows daily, or If I let them go for a couple of weeks, my electric hedge trimmer. I use the LR-3460 to clip, hold and retrieve water plants in my pond. Also on my Wisteria, Rose and Trumpet Vine arbors. Both the Rose and Trumpet vine have new green stalks 1/4" and smaller. The older trumpet vines are woody those larger than " can be hard to cut. In my experience woody or harder skinned plants can require a double cut and can cause the cutter heap to jamb closed. Keeping the cutter head cleaned and sharp can help to reduce this problem but does not totally eliminate it. In my experience I find this tool is useful when the job is small and requires finesse and reach. I would not use this tool to "Get the Job Done" or say when the job will require more than one hour to complete.

Yes, it was designed to be used on tomato plants, I did not have much luck with tomatos last year, because of the wet earth and continual rains,,,but others have told me that the product did cut back on blossom end rot,
