I went with this product over the other options because it cut multiple types of products. I've used it for both Hardie siding and Luxury Vinyle Plank and it was been an awesome time saver for both. I highly recommend this product for anyone wanting to install floors. Does a great job cutting angles as well because it has guide lines for varying degree angle cuts. I lost the sharpening stone and so have never sharpened it, I keep expecting the blade to dull but I've done two different floors and a bunch of hardie siding and haven't had any problems.I rented a Roberts Professional Laminate cutter from Home Depot and also ordered this product from Amazon because I wasn't confident the EAB Tool would actually work. I tested both of them and then immediately returned the Roberts rental tool because the EAB Tool was as good as the rental tool at cutting vinyl plank and actually easier for me to maneuver around the work space, since it's far lighter.The tool was super easy to set up and use. The cuts were crisp and easy to make. I highly recommend a light directed onto the blade cutting area that does not cast shadows on top of the tool so that you can easily see where the blade is contacting the plank for the cut. I didn't use the ruler on the end of the tool to make straight cuts but rather measured the boards each time as needed and made a simple pencil mark on the plank and lined it up under the blade. I had to measure the length for the end boards on the floor anyway to make the proper cuts as I finished a row, so I wasn't wasting any time by omitting the use of the tool's ruler.This tool is a consumer tool, not a pro tool, so you should not expected it to do large volumes of cuts. Plus, I don't think the blade is replaceable, like some brands, although it does come with a sharpener stone, which I didn't even need during a 300 sq. ft. basement job.For those of you having the thicker wood-based planks, I don't think this tool will meet your needs due to the additional force needed to cut such boards. Vinyl planks cut like butter with this tool, but I am certain it would be frustrating to cut those thicker wood boards, even if you added a pipe on the end of the handle to gain more leverage. The platform is plastic and is very light weight, unlike a pro tool like the Roberts tool, and I doubt it be sturdy enough to sustain the forces needed on those thicker boards.But for vinyl planking, this tool is excellent.The time saved by having the cutter inside and not needing to go outside to make straight cuts pays for itself. Not to mention there is no shavings to clean up.I’m a roofer by trade, but installed new thick laminate flooring through about 1000sqft of my downstairs. I bought this only for that project and it was a game changer. I would highly recommendProduct came as described and on time. Comes in a box where you have to attach the handle and the cutter assembly. It went together very easily. Per others I tested it on same waste material. I first tried it on wood laminate and it worked fairly quick and easy. The cuts were clean but had a bit of an inward cut at an 88% and not a true 90 degrees. It would not effect the flooring assembly that I could see. I then tried it on vinyl stick planks and it was just great.My first project for the weekend was a 200 square foot kitchen remodel. I was using vinyl plank stick flooring and the cutter just made a huge difference. I got 80% of the kitchen done without any seams or gaps in about 3 hours including a lot of molding cuts (saker tool works great here for the cuts). Blade was sharp beginning to end. I do advise that you a) hold your material very tightly to the cutting board b) make sure the 90 degree guide is tight c) slowly lower the cutting handle (don't just fast handle it). That seems to work best.The angle gauge area has a a ruler kind and that’s missing from the box . We are not sure if is missing or it doesn’t come with the item . We do need the item to be able to work .. please notify if it’s possible to send the missing piece . Or what we can do about it to fix this issue thank youExactly what I expected. It’s a cheaply made cutter that is good enough to get the job done. I’m laying down pergo outlast plus from HD which I think is 10mm thick. It cut through it and I was able to complete a small room so far. The spacers, hammer block and bar this kit comes with are junk. I bought the roberts deluxe kit at HD and it is soooo much better. In general, don’t use the wedge spacers, use the T shaped spacers because they are so much easier to use.Buying one of these is well worth the money, no running outside for every cut! It’s loud and scary sounding when the piece cuts and requires a lot of effort that seems like you will snap the tool every time. The cut end should be covered by trim, it’s not pretty. It works for what I needed it for though and would buy it again if I had to do a fair amount of flooring. Beats paying for installation!For years I have used a chopsaw, a handheld saw, and a multitool when completing my flooring projects. Although these methods got the job done, it was always difficult to achieve tight fits due to the inconsistency that comes from a saw blade.What has me so impressed about this tool is that I was able to complete nearly 600 ft.² of engineered vinyl flooring in less than half the time it would have taken me using previous methods. Additionally, the cuts remained crisp and only began to deteriorate towards the end of the project but that’s why they provide a sharpening stone.My only complaint about the product is the angle gauge which is supposed to help you make it 0° to 45° cuts. This gauge appears to be more of an afterthought rather than an actual option that was intended to benefit the user. For this reason, I had to spend more time than necessary lining up the blade with my measurement.Outside of that, this is a great product and I am looking forward to using it when I install new hardie plank siding on my home this summer. The reduced amount of dust and debris makes it all worth it!Left a rough edge on cuts so they could only be used as end cutsA large amount of strength to use this machine, the handle should be longerWas not expecting both the above for the cost of this machine
