Bullet Tools - ES00-2009 9 inch EZ Shear Sharpshooter 2.0 Laminate Flooring & Siding Cutter, 1 Year Warranty

My flooring-installation mentor said not to skimp on the cutter. I'm so glad I didn't. This thing can even shave off a bit (on a re-cut) so small that it actually curls. It's accurate, so easy to use, lightweight for its size, includes a convenient handle, can stand up, the chopping arms locks in the down position to close the blade for safety, and even has a sharpening stone. There were more expensive ones out there (and cheaper ones, too), but I went with a trusted name in flooring tools and was not disappointed. This thing was the best decision I made in all of my flooring tools. What a difference in cutting, especially since I installed the stone core (SPC) type of LVP. My jigsaw blades were toast after ripping only a few long boards (I used metal blades and quickly upgraded to those with a higher speed; otherwise, it just meandered slowly through the plank). All cuts of the short end were done on this little rockstar, and what a night-and-day difference. Worth every penny I paid, and I laid the floor myself to save money and still am glad I plunked down the money for this one. 10 stars if I could.

I bought this to use with hardi siding and it has been perfect. I can cut up to 9.25" siding if I take the guide off (easy). I've used the bigger ones but would rather have the lighter smaller one since it's so easy to move around. Finally, no dust. And I can't wait to use it on lvp flooring. With no shavings from the saw and the ability to cut right next to where I am working would be a time saver. The quality of the tool seems top notch. And yes, Made In The USA!

Saved time

I researched about 8 different cutters and landed on this one. Not disappointed. I am installing vinyl plank thru the entire house. It’s 5mm all vinyl material. This cutter goes right thru the material with perfect cuts. No splintering even on thin cuts. Does have an angle guide as well. Also comes with a blade honing stone. Have not had to use it. Blade is still sharp after doing about 1000 sq ft. I can only attest to the material I’m cutting. 5mm is pretty thin so cutting anything thicker (it should) may make a difference. I saw some people had issues with laminate and unclean cuts, but via pictures it appears they were cutting about 10-12mm. Also no issues with any of the hardware as I had seen with some folks. It’s very sturdy yet light. Can pickup with one hand. I can recommend this tool. I believe this cutter exceeds my expectations at this price point. Higher end cutters are $400-600 but are meant for pro installers doing this day to day all year.

This was a fantastic tool for laying engineered hardwood floors. Quick and easy cuts. Supper light weight. Did I say made in America!! Some who has not done flooring in 10 years this was so easy .

Handle broke in two on first day. Determined it was one of our volunteers fault not the tools. Marshalltown replaced handle and everything is working.

I love this tool. It makes cutting a breeze. It is very accurate and requires very little pressure to cut. I used it to cut 1500 sqft of laminate with a rubber backing. It cuts clean every time. This tool came fully assembled and is very well made for a tool in this price range.

For the prices of the great laminate and lvp chopper. I have used a lot over the last year that I've had it. And it is far better than the cheaper one do you find on here as I've had a few different kinds. I highly recommend this one if you want one that's going to last. Quality made and lightweight and does the job!

Only dislike is it doesn’t securely lock when not using and handling

I only used it a few times and it broke.

Does as it should. A little work to use it. Could have been a little wider, but size was in specs when I ordered!

The knife didn't even last 3 months, the cutting guide came off after a month, and the blade holder broke before 3 months, I definitely don't recommend it.

It’s ok for vinyl but struggles with laminate . Not impressed .
