Pliers Macro Flush Cut Trimmers - Perfect for Carpentry and Woodworking - 80487

cuts flush on laminate and fabric...great tool

Perfect tool for the job. Again, save yourself some torture. Get the tool.

I recently did some edge banding for the first time. I knew how it worked, but never did much. In watching videos on the subject, I saw many people recommend these exact cutters and I can see why. These are totally amazing. First of course, they are flush cut, so you can get right up the edge, and make great corners. I used them on 45 degree edges and worked awesome. I found that if I cut the edge close, then I could better see the plywood and make better final flush cuts. Love these, descent price, would gladly recommend.

I don’t tend to appreciate single-job tools, but this one is good at what it does

Good quality cutters.

Nice cuts clean ease of use.

One of the biggest questions that I had for these flush cut pliers was if it could cut 3/4" wide veneer? I'm edge banding about 20 kitchen drawers made from baltic birch plywood and needed a tool to easily cut the ends of the veneer from the drawer sides. Therefore, I attached a photo showing the length of the flush cutter head, which is ~1.434". I haven't used these pliers for cutting brads, but they do work well for cutting veneer. There's also a hole through the handle near the end on one side. There's a band knotted through the hole that's used to hold the handles together if needed. There is a spring between the handles to assist in opening the handles.

These trimmers make clean, close cuts. I use these primarily for trimming 3/4” edge banding veneer. On initial cuts, or final trimming the blades cut the veneer easily. The cut is clean and sharp, and does not require much pressure. After apply the veneer to plywood, these trimmers allow for a very close, clean cut that in sometimes requires no additional sanding. I only rated durability 3stars because I’ve only had these for a few months ( 2 cabinet projects). However I would say that I expect they will be highly durable in the long term.

I bought these for my husband who has sooooooo many tools so why he wanted these I'll never know. But has used them already and loves them. Don't know what for but if he is happy then I'm happy.

Ignore poor reviews on this product. It does exactly what it is designed to do. This device is more like a scissors that is built specifically for trimming PVC (or similar)edge band. Won’t go into a long explanation, but if you aren’t familiar with edge banding in the cabinet industry, Google it, there are a bunch of videos that explain it and show what this tool is used for. It is not a side cutter, if you use it on steel or real hard things, you will damage the cutting surface. Just like you wouldn’t try to use a household paper scissors to cut the head of a nail off, don’t use this Fastcap tool to chop into metal. Used as intended it makes a nice, clean, and near flush cut on PVC/melamine/polyester/wood veneer edge banding material, up to 1mm thick. Just bought another one, and no complaints. Highly recommended ONLY to be used as intended.

Bargain snips, work as well as more expensive brands, only time will tell on cutting edge but so far, very impressed.

Deze trimmer werkt maar matig, hij is niet erg scherp. Daardoor breekt/scheurt je kantenband soms. Alleen heel dunne kantenband heeft daar waarschijnlijk geen last van. Echt héél strak langs de rand afknippen lukt trouwens niet. Als je precies wilt werken zult altijd moet nabewerken met een mesje, beitel of schuurpapier. Ik gebruik 'm daarom niet meer, ik snijd de hoeken nu af met een breed afbreekmes (Knipex).

Excelente producto, no se porque los gringos se quejan que no deja un corte al ras, o esperan un acabado de fábrica o no las utilizan correctamente, con un poco de práctica se puede lograr un corte perfecto. Agiliza mucho el trabajo de enchapado de cantos, sin duda las volvería a comprar.
