Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is a tiny little work horse. I’ve been saving boxes for months to line the bottoms of my garden beds with and I was dreading breaking them all down, but this little cutter made it so easy.

This cutter is very handy. It fits your hand very well and is very easy to use. I have used it to cut paper, wrapping paper, and cardboard. It went easily thorough the paper and wrapping paper. I had to put a little muscle to go through the cardboard. I know the guard is there for protection, but I would like for it to be where you could snap it off to be able to cut bulkier things. That’s why I took off a star.

Amazing tool. We are helping the grandchildren with school projects and have starting using this wonderful tool on the projects.

I love this work product. It’s so easy to cut up boxes and great for wrapping gifts.

This is the best thing I’ve bought from Best Buy thus far! It holds a charge efficiently and the device is powerful beyond measure.

This is a pretty cool tool. I use it to make piñatas. ( See photo) It cuts carboard good and cut my time down to ¼ to what it usually takea me with scissors. The down side is it jams easily with the thickness of the cardboard. Thats why the 4 instead of 5 stars.

I bought it for my husband for Christmas. Absolutely loved it. Work very well. Very sharp.

Im a 5'2 female with small hands and I can work the safety button no problem. If you have arthritis or other hand issues this might be an issue for you. My work around to that is use your non dominant hand to press the safety while holding it with the other hand, I have done this myself with no issues. I have one complaint of my charger being defective from the get go, the way they tie it in the box made mine not charge, right where the electric cord was all bent and I had to move it all around for it to get a proper connection. Im going to contact the company to see if they will send me a replacement charging cable and that will tell me how well this company will really honor their warranty. I will come back to let everyone know how they handled the situation. Gotbthis to cut down the endless shipping boxes frim my endless shopping lol so I can fit it in my recycling bin, live it so far.

My wife loves this cardboard cutter. Makes it to where we can put so much more into the can. It works like a a charm

Makes easy work to cut cardboard and light material. With a steady hand it works better that regular scissors. Also has nice blade guard.

GREAT QUALITY,EASY TO USE,I USE THE WORX ELECTRIC CORDLESS SCISSOR FOR CUTTING CARD BOARD BOXES

Very easy to use. Love it. Easy for packages also.

Very nice pair of electric scissors they cut real good and easy to operate

Works great on most cardboard. It can struggle a bit with some thicker boxes (example in picture) or with boxes that have a thick paper printed overlay, but it will still eventually get the job done with a little effort.

Its a nice tool to have around and its got good cutting power.

The WORX - 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors is a versatile tool that makes trimming & cutting a joy. I found that the hassle of cutting cardboard to fit in the recycling bin is now a simple task that I look forward to with ZipSnip. I use it to cut cardboard & those tough plastic packages that fill the retail shelves today. No more fighting those packages & getting cut with the sharp plastic edges as I stab the package with a box cutter or cut it with hand scissors. Safety was clearly integrated into the design of ZipSnip & was not an after thought. The cutting blade cannot start rotating without pressing & holding the safety release with your thumb. This is a brilliant & most effective design that prevents unintentional activation by a person, or by being bumped in a drawer. An integrated blade guard that keeps fingers away from the rotating blade, enhancing safety even further. The blade has a self sharpening design, making it always ready to go & reduces the battery power requirement of trying to cut with a dull blade. The 4 Volt built-in Lithium-ion battery charges completely in about 5 hours & will hold the charge for several months. CONCLUSION: The ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors is a well designed tool that exceeds my expectations & earns my highest recommendation.

This 4V ZipSnip cordless electric scissors doses the scissors job. It is light weight and easy to operate with one hand. it has a lock switch like the one in cordless drill drivers, but unlike that it does not switch the direction of the scissors and does not remain permanently on. It will work as long as you keep pressed the on/off switch. Which is I found good safety mechanism. Cutting speed is medium, and it is good for cardboard, paper, PVC and other think plastic material. The blade is sharp and cutting is smooth. It can be operated with either the left or right hand so good for anyone. This is a basic scissors and one thing I felt that if there was a mechanism kind of somehow to auto forward while cutting would have been great. One has to push slightly (not too hard) to cut through. It has only one speed. It is very handy for cutting long cardboard pieces straight, you can also cut curved or round on the edges but needs careful cutting. Overall a lightweight handy electric scissors that does the job efficiently. Pros: Light weight Safety on-off switch Sharp blade Good for straight cuts Cons: Only single speed No auto feed for the cutting material

My spouse and I recycle and in this world of online purchases and deliveries it does not take long for my garage to get over run with cardboard boxes! So when I saw the Worx Zipsnip I could not believe such a tool existed and I didn’t own it! I mean my spouse is always complaining that I “hack and chop” boxes with abandonment and carelessness with old dull box cutters and it was just a matter of time before I cut myself badly…and they are right! Got the Worx and charges it up. It feels great in the hand and built well. I examined the blade and it has a unique flat hexigonish shape that turns out acts like saw blade teeth but because they are larger it doesn’t feel like a mini saw blade. Which turns out cuts cardboard like butter with minimal effort…It’s amazing how frustration free box cutting has become! It cuts through like a laser into any size you want! Just amazing. Although I wanted it as primarily a box cutter and if that’s the only thing you use it for…HOME RUN! Worth it just for that… But then I got curious. I zipped through paper, Those hard sealed plastic packages, cardstock and even terry cloth!!! No problems!!! It is quite the versatile little tool that should be a staple in any garage or craft room! It also self sharpens and has a three year warranty and the charge is supposed to last for months! Anything a person would snip….the WORX Zip Snip has you covered! You cannot go wrong with this tool! I absolutely love it!

WORX - 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors are a welcome addition to my toolbox. My main motivation for getting these scissors was to easily cut cardboard down. I think that is why most people order them. But wait, it does do more! I put it to the test when hemming some curtains. It cuts fabric beautifully. I also cut a pair of jeans and it was double thickness since it was the pant leg bottom. On the first leg I went too fast and it buched up a little which made me have back track out of the cut. On the second leg, I went slower and it was perfect. It's so nice not to have the jagged scissor cuts through the fabric. It also cuts through paper like a breeze. I used it when wrapping a gift and had one straight cut. I also tried it on 14 GA. soft copper wire, don't recommend that. It's not a saw so it bounced 3 times on it and got 3/4 the way through. I easily bent the wire and it broke off where I needed. That's a good way to dull it quickly, but I wanted to see it's limits. I wouldn't use regular scissors to cut wire that thick, so applying the same rule to the Worx Cordless Electric Scissors is a good rule of thumb. Overall, I'm very happy with it's performance and convenience.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for myself, my mom, and a friend. (We’re at those ages where practical gifts make more sense.) It had such great reviews, and I was excited to get it, since we have a lot of things shipped to our house and I have a lot of cardboard to cut up there’s nothing wrong with the product itself – it cuts perfectly through cardboard, but I haven’t tried it with other products yet. (Of note, you can even cut circular shapes with it, which is kind of cool if you’re creating things.) the only issue that I’ve found, which really isn’t with the product itself, is that it is not good for smaller hands, as it is somewhat challenging to grip and be able to press the button on the side. In addition, anyone with arthritis or tendinitis might not be able to use it as well either, given the thickness of it and the way you have to grip it and press the side button at the same time. It’s also not particularly lightweight, which can make it challenging for those same categories of people. The product itself is great, and safer for anyone who wants to cut through tough things (including that awful heavy-duty “clamshell” packaging!) safely!
