I saw this and took a gamble as I hate breaking down boxes but my wife loves ordering stuff that comes in them. I have been very surprised by how well this thing works. I can’t say it’s faster than a box cutter, but it’s definitely easier. This thing goes through cardboard like nothing. My next step is to show the Missus how to use it and remove myself from the process entirely. Overall it’s well worth the price, it’s durable, sharp, and comfortable to use.

I had a ton of cardboard, especially because I bought new treadmill, and I moved into a new house with a small recycle bin. Everything was building up and I had to break everything down to try to maximize as much as possible when recycle comes. A box cutter was literally And figuratively just not cutting it. I found these on Amazon and began using them as soon as they arrived. It literally cuts like butter. The ginormous, thick, heavy treadmill cardboard was broken down within a minute. This is so life-changing. I highly recommend.

DISLIKES: Recharge time, to recharge after a good usage of the tool requires 5 hours to a full charge before you can get working again, that is with the default adapter{charger) that comes with it, which is 6V 400mA.
This also depends on the amperage of your charger, I have found chargers with a 2Amp up to 5Amp charge things faster, and can cut your recharge cycle down quite a bit, 2 Amp usually about 2-1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, a 5 Amp charger can reduce this down to anywhere from 30 minutes, to not usually more than 2 hours{if that} for a full recharge. I have numerous adapters with a wide variety of voltages and ratings, always USE a charger/adapter with the correct voltage, in this case 6V, but the amperage is what makes the difference in how fast it will recharge.
LIKES:
Rechargeable, cuts through many different materials smoothly and easily. Self Sharpening blade, so longer use of the cutting blade before having to possibly replace the circular blade.
I wouldn’t actually call this tool electric scissors, it’s more like a sub-miniature hand-held circular saw. I purchased this tool initially for cutting out old carpeting from my home, it cuts through the carpet like a hot knife would cut through a stick of butter.
Not only that, but I have also used this tool to cut down my Amazon Delivery boxes for easy removal, some boxes that may have a very thick form, it will cut them, but it’s a little harder to get the tool through those, but most standard boxes, it makes short work of them, cutting them down to small square sections in less time than it does to break them down by hand and cut them down with a standard pair of scissor.
My wife cut down a box of the same size using scissors, and I was using the tool, I had completed the complete cut-down of my box, same exact size as here, in less than 5 minutes, while she was still struggling to get her box cut down to size for the trash bag, her box was still over 70% intact, I cut down various size boxes, a total of 15 boxes from medium to very large, in the time it took her to cut down the one box she was working on.
I have used the tool to cut Coroplast, thin plexiglass, this plastic sheeting, and very thin wood molding for interior door frames, when the tool started slowing down and cutting became more difficult, I knew it was either time to recharge the tool, or sometimes just hold the tool, not cutting anything, hold in the safety button in and power button, to allow the tool to run with no cutting, this will resharpen the blade, and if the tool still has enough of a charge, continue cutting until it bogs down, then a simple recharge takes care of that.
Just about anything you cut with a pair of sharp scissors, this tool would probably cut as well.
Yes, I can recommend this tool, it’s a great tool to have in your arsenal of home improvement and cleanup tools. It will definitely help you get the job down much faster than a manual cutting tool for many different materials, which makes it an indispensable, versatile, and worthy tool to have.

This slices through cardboard like butter—exactly what I needed for breaking down and shredding boxes for recycling. However, the design has a major flaw. The tool is meant to be held with your thumb on top for leverage, but the safety button, located near the bottom, must be pressed every time you pull the trigger. This forces you to adjust your grip repeatedly, making it awkward and inefficient for large, repetitive cutting tasks.
To resolve this, I removed the safety button. While it improved usability, the handle design makes it hard to hold without accidentally pressing the trigger, so the tool runs as soon as you pick it up. Despite this, the modification makes it more usable for my needs.

I test drove this thing on some heavy cardboard that came with my lawn mower bagger and man, buzzed right thru it with almost no hesitation, cuts single cardboard no problem, super quick, super clean cuts, on double cardboard, definitely have to take it a little slower but never quit, never slowed down, on my first battery so will see how long it will take to run it out, if you need to cut up boxes to fit into your recycling bin, you are good to go but overall, definitley a buy!

We love receiving our packages these days but the boxes they come in take up a lot of space. Then comes the task of breaking down these boxes safely so they can be disposed. I have several razor knives for this task which required constant blade changes and the possibility of severe cuts from their use. Had to keep the blades changed since a dull razor is just as dangerous as a sharp blade.
Enter the Worx Zipsnip Cordless Electric Scissors. These things have cut various thicknesses of cardboard boxes. Regardless of the thickness it cuts through with ease and the motor isn’t strained maintaining the same rpm and cutting speed. I no longer worry about cutting or slicing a finger or other body part while breaking down boxes. Can cut cardboard to the smallest size to fit my box container, trashcan or whatever your disposal needs.
Recently did a project involving PU Leather and used scissors and a razor knife. I did a test cut with some of the left over material. In the photo there is a small strip of this leather with the top side cut with scissors and the bottom with Zipsnip. The difference is huge. Top side was uneven and bottom was a smooth straight unlined cut. If photo rotates once posted the orientation will be left right. The Zipsnip
cut this thin leather like it was cutting air.
Anyways, these things are awesome! Having used these for the last six weeks I can say build quality, battery life, and cutting capabilities are worth the price.

The WORX WX082L 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors have become an indispensable tool in my studio, transforming tasks that were once tedious into effortless achievements.

The cordless design of the ZipSnip is a game-changer, offering unparalleled flexibility and freedom of movement around my studio.

The battery life is impressive, sustaining long periods of work without needing a recharge, which is crucial for maintaining productivity during busy days.
Ergonomically, the ZipSnip is a dream. Its design fits comfortably in my hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. This aspect is particularly important when working on detailed projects that require a steady hand. The safety lock is another feature I appreciate, providing peace of mind that the tool won’t accidentally activate when not in use.
Moreover, the ZipSnip has elevated the quality of my work. The precision cuts contribute to the overall aesthetics and functionality of my creations, enhancing the craftsmanship that my clients expect. It’s also proved invaluable in preparing materials for workshops and demonstrations, where time is of the essence, and precision is non-negotiable.

It’s not just a tool; it’s an extension of your creative potential.
