I'm not sure why this thing gets any negative reviews. I've had it now for maybe a couple of months, and I've used it to cut a bunch of different things from cardboard, to thin paper, plastic wrap, and plastic product boxes, and it cuts through everything with ease and does a great job! It's a well made procuct, feels good in the hand, and seems very sturdy. Made of thick plastic, some metal, with a self-sharpening blade. You do have to press the top button, and the longer palm trigger to engage the motor, but once it's on you can release the top button, and it stays on. It charges fast and holds a charge for a long time. All in all I really like this item, and probably will always have a cordless cutter in the house now that I've used one. I would definitely recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockwell - ZipSnip Cordless Cutter - White
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013

I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing this product as I was looking for the Zipsnip 7.2 volt cutter that I seen on a YouTube video which I am assuming isn't available any longer since it is nowhere to be found. At only 3.6 volt, I was sure this thing had to be underpowered. After receiving the Rockwell Zipsnip, I was greatly impressed with its performance. In my opinion, the Rockwell ZipSnip does everything it is advertised to do and does it quite well too. I have cut up old wornout clothes for rags, opened up clam shell packaging, cut up thick cardboard with no problem whatsover. The battery has held up really well and I am still on the first charge! The blade hasn't shown any signs of wear so far either. I am very happy with this purchase and have already recommended it to my friends and family. I would mention that one area I did have a very slight problem is that I am left handed and it seems that the ZipSnip is set up for right handers, but that was really trivial and has not deterred me from using it in any way. BTW, you only need to hold the top buttom to get it started and can release it as soon as it starts cutting. You don't need to hold both the top button and bottom lever the whole time. It I ever wear this one out, I would not hesitate to purchase another one to replace it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun, zippy thing.
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013

After charging up, there weren't many whole newspapers, cardboard, or plastic left in my house. I cut so many things up I turned my kitchen into a shredding station. I actually bought these to cut fiberglass, which I haven't cut yet, so I'll update the review when I get there, but for normal, everyday cutting such as cardboard, plastic, paper, and fabric, this little guy will get it done. Oh, I wish I had this to open the actual plastic container it came in! That was a pain to open. So in revenge, I tore up that bad boy, also. Highly recommended.

P.S.: Whoever decided to raise the price of the Black & Decker model from $20 to $80 is completely insane.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best for ALL types of sewing projects
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2014

I am a furrier and cut alll types and dfferent thickness of hides. The Zip cutter is good for cutting heavy leather but is not my favorite tool. The handle is bulky and doesn't give me the flexability I need to turn corners. I use other cutting tools for large projects when I will be cutting all day.

This cutter works really well cutting both paper and the plastic "clam shell" packaging. The only problem that I've had was when I ordered a second unit for my daughter as a gift. It arrived missing both the blade and the screw to hold it in place.
The web address printed on the manual takes you to a site with no reference to this cutter. It is made by Rockwell so I had to call them to get the parts. They told me that the parts were available on their website but they are not listed anywhere. I did get them to ship them to me per my phone call to them.

It's been three weeks and still no replacement blade. I called again today and was told the blades were on backorder so the company offered to send me a complete new unit. We shall see how that goes.

I finally received an complete new unit. An awful lot o monkey business for what should have been a simple deal.

1.0 out of 5 stars A piece of junk
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2011

I purchased this item in February, but had no occasion to use it until a week or so ago. I had not even completed cutting up one average cardboard box when the cutter stopped dead! I thought that it had lost it's charge, so I recharged the unit. The recharge appeared to be successful, but the cutter still would not move or even make a sound when I pushed the buttons to start it! I tried to contact the manufacturer to get advice on what the problem might be and how to rectify it, but the maker did not respond to my inquiries. Considering how quickly it stopped working and the total lack of support from the manufacturer, I would strongly recommend against purchasing the "ZipSnip Cutter". It is, I am quite certain, a piece of junk! -Bill

a disappointment! I bought these to cut fleece and heavier fabrics. A total failure for that use!! It caught all fabrics in the cutting blade and left a grease smudge! They do work extremely well for cutting lightweight cardboard and were especially effective for opening those plastic/cardboard packages that no person can open without nearly cutting your hand off!!

Purchased the ZipSnip for opening pastic blister packs and for cutting large cardboard boxes into disposable size pieces. The cutter performs exactaly as advertised (i.e. it cuts smoothly and easily.) The Lithium battery charges rapidly and retains it's charge over an extended period of time. All in all a very well designed, smooth working, product at a very reasonable price.
