1) Can this cut through cardboard boxes that are strong and thick? 2) Aren't they a strain on the wrists, being so small, to cut through big boxes?

well Abraham, this takes the same blade as all the rest of them out there, no differance !! It is however a bit bigger so has a better grip. Other than that the ball is in your court, can you pull it or not ?

As far as I have experienced, the only thing that limits this cutter is the size of the blade. So far I haven't noticed any strain on my wrist and I am a 62 year old woman.

This product is very rugged. The sharper the blade, the more stuff it can cut. As I have noted in review, this product is very heavy.

doubt it can cut it at all! More for fabric, cardboard, leather etc. Blade is similar to serrated not a saw type blade. try plywood blade on skill saw or a router or a band saw

I don't understand the question. But I use this everyday since I bought it and it hasn't let me down. I've pushed the pliers way farther than I thought they could handle snd used the would saw to go through a 2 by 12 deck board on a flatbed trailer. I just used the serrated blade to go through a semi tire yesterday. Which wasn't easy given the steel belting but it got the job done and kept work going. And I gave no problem with the weight it's compact and stays out of the way much better tan the ct pliers I used to carry. It's been great.

I bought mine primarily to rip through 3/4 inch plywood, maple, birch, pine, oak, etc, and it works great. Couldn´t tell you how long the battery will last because I only cut through a couple of sheets at the time and then store it. But for my needs I am very happy with it, in fact, I don´t use the corded one anymore

I use it at Starbucks to cut into our boxes all the time, it works great. The thicker boxes may cause the blade to dull more quickly though. This box cutter is pretty sizeable, I wouldn't consider it small! I would definitely recommend it.

I think it might possibly slip in place to cut but I do not think this cutter would be strong enough to cut paper that thick. Card stock worked well so I think that might be best.

I've found its' limit to be about 10 pages of regular weight paper.I will do a couple of pieces of heavy oaktag paper (I often punch the slash folders for the back cover of book).What is the thickness of the item you want to cut and how heavy is it as compared to cardboard?

I used a similar cutter on cardboard and foam core for art class. Draw guides lines AND use a ruler to guide the blade, make sure you have something flat and solid under your work surface [I used another sheet of cardboard] press firmly and roll rather slowly. It was the BEST way to cut all the design panels I needed [especially compared to scissors and evil evil box cutters!] However, it will dull the blade quickly.

While it will definitely cut corrugated cardboard, the blades are a little short for making a cut all the way through on one pass. I usually need a second pass to cut all the way through.

Yes and no, it's will resist minor cuts. If you are looking for thick strong cut resistant gloves these are not for you.

Some will argue that it is not "precise enough" for the task at hand. I use it primarily for cutting stacks of bulletins, announcements, and some posters. So far, when cutting smaller stacks of heavyweight paper, it's been precise to about 1/32 of an inch. If you cram the paper in beyond what is suggested, you will likely encounter a problem. The green plastic holder you see just beside the blade is very snug on the paper or card stock when the lock is in the proper place. If you forget to lock it, well, it will move!! That is not the fault of the cutter. Several staff members have used and like the precision of the cutter. No complaints from us! It is an extreme improvement over what we have had in the past.

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

As with any saw , there are limits to how small you can go before it gets into the dangerous area. if it's odd shaped you may wan to clamp it to prevent it from kicking out on you. That being said , It's powerful enough to go through 2x4's, and trim work . If the parts are that small , you may want to consider a scroll saw. Hope that helps

I never tried to cut it with a box Cutter... But my sister dropped it and broke it during the first month of purchase...She never replaced it. the water was spilling all over the carpet, because she didn't realize that it had cracked when she dropped it.

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

I use them to open boxes and mail items as they come apart for this. I don't think they would be very good cutting multple layers of fabric. They are more 5 in 1 use than good scissors.
