I bought 3 of these and sorry I did.  These were sharp, at first, but too quickly became dull.

 If you use this type tool frequently, spend more money and buy a good one.

It was great when I first started using it, but after a couple of times the tip wasn't as sharp and didn't work very well.

A pain to use after a few months. I guess it's great if you use it very infrequently.

I bought this hoping it would be a better alternative to the dremel.  The motor was very smooth and the tool seemed powerful for about 10 minutes, but then the tool slowed down and smoke came out of the tool.  One other thing I disliked about the tool was the switch location.  It is very easy to accidentally turn on the tool when handling which could be dangerous.

Worked well the first several minutes of use, on a couple of different small jobs. Got it out again and it seemed like it was taking kind of long to cut notches in ordinary wooden deck planks. (New blade, BTW). Then I used a metal-cutting blade to cut off a few rusty screws that were protruding from the deck joists. OK, but seemed slow work. A few months later I got it out to trim some 3/4" pine boards flush to the surface that they were overhanging, and it wouldn't start. The action seemed frozen up, so I used an open-end wrench to grasp the shaft (which has flattened sides so you can get a wrench on it) and worked it back and forth a few times. Now freed up, it would start, but ran slower than normal. It took FOREVER (almost half an hour with breaks, each time had to use the wrench to wiggle the shaft before it would switch back on) to cut through the pine boards! (Cross-grain cuts.) It became too hot to comfortably hold during each tiresome session. Now it won't restart after wiggling the shaft with the wrench. It's the first tool I've ever owned that failed after so little use.

I have been using this sharpener for over a year now (albeit not very often). It used to be super easy and quick in making my knives razor sharp. I loved it for that. Nowadays though it takes a lot more effort and the sharpening effect is not as good. I guess the blades inside have become dull. I need to buy a replacement and, considering how cheap this tool is, that should not be a problem. Just keep in mind that this product is not last a lifetime.

At the beginning this saved a lot of time and sliced evenly and thinly.  After a short time of slicing, the handle got too hot and blades wiggled.  Eventually this stopped working altogether (blades stopped moving and the handle got really hot).  Even before it died, it didn't work as well as another one that was at least ten years old.

I don't know why, a few uses in, it's not as sharp anymore. I LOVED it the first few times I used it, was safe and would cut nicely into anything.

Great cleaver for chopping through chicken bones, unfortunately the blade gets dull pretty fast.

I have now used two of these. I wasn't too impressed the first time, but decided to try a second one, since I had cut a wide variety of materials, including some thick natural stone, and because the reviews were pretty good. After the second blade, I am not impressed. It cut fine while it lasted, but both dulled more quickly than I felt they should. For a few dollars more, the DeWalt DW4764 is an infinitely better blade, It lasts about twice as long. However, that is not the case with other DeWalt blades....only the 4764! I won't be purchasing another one of these.

it became dull too quickly and the bottom round holder does not tighten. its okay for a short trip if you don't mind losing it soon after.

It was a great tool but I no longer use it daily. Unfortunately the scissors broke after about 6 months and it wasn't worth paying shipping to get it fixed.

I own 7 nail guns and decided three years ago to purchase the Impulse nailer. It is a very convenient tool, however I do not recomend its use for prolonged periods of time. For one Its not available with sequential trip, which means it fires one nail at a time for every trigger squeeze. This can be tiresome espescialy if you are using it for sub floors. It is not as powerful as its air powered bothers sometimes leaving nails out and not as durable and maintenance free as they are. You have to disassemle the unit to clean and oil the piston after 5000 shots as recomended in the manual. That is definately a pain. So if you are thinking of using the Impulse as high production tool you will definately be disappointed. This is not a knock, it's just advice, it does rank as one of my  most useful tools.

I love the look and feel of this knife. I used it daily for cutting hay string and similar farm chores. I was disappointed that it dulled quickly, especially after reading the reviews before purchase. Overall I would buy again, but with a sharpener.

Cut great for a while then the blades dulled very quickly. Next time I will buy something with a bit more quality

The product was good for light jobs in tight places, but it doesn't have an adjustable chuck, so it only takes 1/4 hex bits. The battery wore out after about 15 months, and I only used it 6 times and it can't be replaced, so the tool was useless after that.

Good item to use in a pinch, especially with the pre-angled grooves. 3 stars because it degrades fairly quickly from use.
