I got this to replace the Worx Snip Zip that I could no longer charge since the adaptor cord would not go in the charging socket after about charging it four times. The Makita has an external battery that is no problem to connect to the tool. They both work great but I had to upgrade to something that had a power source that I can rely on. Both the Worx and the Makita cut through cardboard with no problem.The "kit" comes with a durable case with room for the tool, the charger and one battery included. However there is room in the case for two optional additional batteries if you need them. The batteries are unique in that there are LED's which indicate the power level of the battery if you press a button.

This multi-cutter works well on nylon cut pile carpet, where the pile may be more than 1/4" deep. If you are ripping-up carpet in 2 or more rooms, this cutter may be a worthwhile purchase to save your back and floors (if you have finished wood flooring under the carpet). I dulled a utility knife quickly in cutting carpet in my living room - the carpet backing is tough and abrasive. I also left a few slice marks in my oak flooring using the utility knife. Makita's cutter is MUCH easier to use, but you'll need to clean the carpet fuzz often with needle nose pliers - the fuzz accumulates in the cutter blade area. It has more power than I expected from a small 12 Volt battery.

I get a LOT of amazon boxes and they pile up like a mountain. I needed a quick go-to tool for cutting them down. I HATE using a utility cutter because its too easy to cut yourself while free-holding the boxes. In general, with a knife, you are ALWAYS cutting toward yourself because you need leverage to press the knife into the cardboard.This Makita multi-cutter solves this problem because by its nature you are pushing the tool away. Much safer. In fact, i'm not sure you actually could cut yourself with this thing. The power and speed are more than adequate. Battery life is fantastic. Cutting flat cardboard is very easy. Cutting the flaps off of boxes is a little harder because you have to maneuver the small "mouth" of this thing into the fold of the flap and the adjacent flap gets in it way, Once you cut about an inch it zips through the rest of the flap. It will only cut single layer cardboard (typical shipping boxes). It won't cut through double layer (appliance) cardboard.Ergonomically, this tool is a little unwieldy due to its length. The safety switch that you must hold in with your thumb could be better designed. There are switches on both sides for lefties.In addition, search for the CANARY Corrugated Cardboard Cutter (DC-190F-1). It works GREAT for SAFELY opening boxes and cutting the box tape while breaking boxes down. Amazon also stocks replacement Makita 198604-1 1-5/8" Multi-Cutter Blades

It is almost like a power scissor to cut flattened cardboard straight. Handy for cutting shipping boxes you receive from online orders. You can not cut against the bent of the cardboard, or very thick cardboard. This is not for professional use like cutting carpet or roof shingle. Makita does not describe what it can do or can not. But one should be able to see that from the price point, size, voltage (12V), and spec. Good toy for me.
