 A worthwhile buy....especially for those that shop Amazon August 19, 2008
So far this has been a great product that I think anyone who regularly shops here needs to consider. If you use it for nothing else then to cut up the cardboard boxes that your Amazon orders arrive in it will earn it's place amongst your other tools.
Like some here my family does a fair amount of shopping here and the cardboard boxes can pile up. We try to reuse them for other things, but sometimes they just get out of control and pile up. The Multi-cutter has helped handle this most recent episode, making the dispatching of several dozen boxes in various sizes and states of use and abuse a task that took only a few hours of steady work instead of several hours of frustratingly boring work.
In the, roughly, three hours of steady work the battery held out with no cutting problems until near the very end. I do have to say that running it that constantly is probably not recommended as the unit did start to get a little warm there at the end.
As to the auto-sharpener feature this works very well. While cutting through a box from a vacuum cleaner I hit one of those heavy duty industrial staples and nicked the blade in a couple of spots. Thirty minutes worth of work later and the nicks were all but gone. By the end of my work you couldn't see where I had nicked the cutter at all.
The Multi-cutter has a few nice safety features as well. Beyond the sturdy safety guard around the blade there is also a safety button, set up for right and left handed use, that must be pressed before the trigger will engage. The first time or two you use the tool this is going to feel a little awkward, but you'll get used to it. Remember, once the trigger is depressed you do not have to hold down the safety button any more, though you will have to press it again if you let go of the trigger. The last safety feature is that the Multi-cutter will not work while the unit is charging. This makes it just a little bit safer if you have younger children (or not very bright friends and/or family) who like to play with your tools
For the record, besides cardboard, I have also used the tool to cut fabric (including denim), stacks of construction paper, card stock, and standard paper, as well as various densities of foam.
 Almost perfect! August 8, 2008

This product is finally shipping from Skil (early August, 2008) after a long anticipated introduction period. It is a good product that performs as well as described in its early advertising. The only criticism I have is that the safety switch is difficult to press if you have anything but a giant's hand. (My hands are quite gigantic, and I have trouble engaging the switch to turn the cutter on with just one hand.) However, with a little practice, you should be able to learn to overlook this one shortcoming.
It does a great job cutting many different materials up to 1/4" thick, including floor tiles and vinyl siding. One of its best features is its lithium-ion battery's long, dependable charge life. I find that this tool is very handy to have around my work shop.
