So much easier and more convenient than using a miter box. We are redoing our flooring and are using quarter-round. Started out using a miter, but what a pain in the a$$ that was. These shears are so much easier, cleaner, and faster. They are sharp and durable. Worth every penny.
Love this tool! We used it to cut molding for our master bedroom closet makeover. Tool was very user friendly and worked very well. Got the job done! I would recommend.
Works well on soft if wood primed or to paint 1/2″ – 1/4 round or 1/2 X 3/4″ cove base. Saved a ton of time and no sawdust like when using a saw. If your doing fine finish carpentry not sure it would meet those standards unless your caulking and painting the trim. Also cutting through a hard wood that is dense I would not advise. I am happy with this purchase for what I used it for.
So I got this for a specific purpose to see how it got on. I had some moulding to put around a newel post. These were oak so would be a real test. However they did ok, it was hard to cut through the oak but softer moulding would have been easy enough, but it did the job as you can see from the picture. I would probably just use a saw if doing oak again, but for softer wood then it’s actually quick and worked alright. The blade was sharp and comes with 2 other blades. Happy with it and good one to have in the toolbox.
I was a bit sceptical to be honest, I got these with a job in mind. Not having a suitable mitre saw, I got these to trim lengths of laminate flooring edging and make 45 degree cuts. For that purpose they worked brilliantly, producing nice clean cuts, though care has to be taken to get the cut in the right place. I was impressed. The blade is very sharp. They cut paper and cardboard, they cut small tree branches, they make a lovey job of cutting garden hose leaving a nice clean square end to attach fittings to. The only issue I had was the blade wasn’t closing at the end of the anvil. The anvil angle is adjustable and I had it sorted out in a couple of minutes. Useful addition to the toolbox.
Good, sturdy and well-made. These will cut through cables, wooden beading and plastic with ease. Great for snipping edges. Mainly for light work but will cut thin metals, although I found them handy for electrical and arial cabling. They come with 2 extra blades as well as a safety. The blades are very sharp so be careful with them.
Overall a good buy!
So far, I have only used these as secateurs to give a good pre winter trim to some large roses & a patio tree. They cut well & are sharp. Having read other reviews, I am concerned that changing the blade when the tim comes may prove difficult. I am used to sharpening my gardening tools, but the plate on these for getting an angle cut would mean I won’t be able to do that on these. I just hope when the time comes that I am able to change the blade.
The blade is sufficiently sharp.
It comes with spare blades , but no instructions are included (I haven’t tried to change a blade yet) .
Good grip to allow you to exert pressure without hurting your hand
These were listed in Garden and Hand tools. The title stated they were mitre shears. Unfortunately I didn’t see the qualifier that they were for Vinyl and Molding trim.
I have tried to cut some thin pieces of wood with these shears, there is no mechanical increase in force on them. I could just about cut a 1cm thick piece of pine.
The shears may not be the sharpest, but they are solidly made. If you have enough strength then they can probably be used to cut significant amounts of wood, however they would be better used for thinner plastics or veneers

I really was impressed by how well this tool worked. Very sturdy, great quality, and works so well and was mych easier to cut than I expected!! Perfect for my small DIY projects.
Habe die Zange zum Schneiden unsere Duschabdichtungen benutzt. Bin begeistert. Sehr leichte Handhabung und sehr gutes Schnittergebnis.
I recently had new flooring installed throughout my first floor. There are some spots that need some shoe mounding that I told my nephew who did the floor that I would install. My original plan was to use my circular saw like they did but then I started looking for easier, cleaner cut methods. I found this tool and looked through many reviews of different brands. This one, while a little more in price, seemed to be the best choice. I just tried it on a scrap piece of shoe mounding and it cut like butter! The cut was clean and way better than the cut that was done with the circular saw! I was even able to round out the end for a corner for a clean professional finish! Now I’m in my 40s with severe arthritis in both my hands and I had no issues with the cutting. I have the pvc mounding since wood was twice the cost but I think it would be just as easy to cut. This tool is game changer for me since I have a small project that needs moulding. No instructions on how to change blades but that’s what YouTube is for! Can’t wait to get started on my projects now that I have this handy guy!!
I received the shears today. They appear to be of decent quality but have clearly been used and returned, so I am disappointed that they were sold as new. All of the parts are present, and I needed them this week, so I do not plan to return them. I hope to have a better idea of the true quality and usability soon.
Along with your bamboo strips this tool has made frames simple!
I’m converting (99c) plastic Walmart ones beautifully!
Cutting wood trim doesn’t work well if not at all unless it’s about 1/4″ thick or less. I didn’t have trouble cutting MDF.
This worked great!! It made installing base shoe a whole lot faste
For the price and ease these are great. Used to cut quarter round for laminate we got put in. The cut is sometimes as good exact as a saw but it’s easy to clean up with caulk. Wasn’t too rough on the hands. We use it after the fact to trim branches outside too. We did two large rooms with awkward corners. Never changed the blade. TOTALLY worth it.
Por ahora muestra un buen poder al cortar, incluso MDF de 3mm de groso
This tool works well but have a sanding block handy as I have found that the cuts I made were not clean. But it was easy to use and convenient for smaller projects.
Pour un ami qui bricole et qui a t ravi de l’outils, c’est ce qu’il recherchait.
This miter shear was a time saver to say the least, and it comes with 2 extra blades and is packed very nice. I replaced wood quarter round in an entire home without having to get out my chop saw and running up and down stairs!! My Only complaint was that I needed it to cut at 22.5 and I couldn’t do it with this pair.
It cuts wood strips for miniature mouldings and picture frames great.
I have a few of these. The larger one abd the smaller one. Both are great for trim. Nothing bigger than 2 inches. Works just as good on small composite pieces. Clean cuts. Recommend
We use this for mitering wall protection trims on healthcare jobs huge time save
I tried it on several pieces and it works like magic. I like the protective screw in place to protect children.
Laying LVP floors; this tool has changed our lives. Wish I’d of bought it 3 weeks ago lol
Love this product. Bought for a diy project to cut wood for wall panels. For a inexperienced DIYer I found these easy to use, created sharp clean cuts for a professional finish. Easy to use, safer to use and does the job.
I made 10 or so cuts through quarter round molding with a single blade, and I’m sure it could do more.
The longer the piece of wood the harder it was to get a straight cut, but I was able to make a presentable corner with some wood filler.
Highly recommend for the DIY’er!
Trim we chose is 1″x 96″ and painted in Sherwin Williams: Extra White
(Our walls are SW: Collonade Gray for reference)
No paint issues with cutting using these shears. Will have zero touch-ups except for nail holes. If you have a project that’s like this, I would highly recommend these.
This tool has cut in half the amount of time I’ve spent running back and forth to the miter saw, and that makes it worth it’s price.
Die Gehrungsschere ist sehr scharf und mit den Ersatzklingel einige Zeit nutzbar. Fr mich primr zum Schneiden der Dichtungen in der Duschkabine genutzt. Teilweise mit Magnetstreifen. Die Winkelfunktion ist nicht besonders przise, da der Steg zum Anlegen nicht all zu hoch ist und somit das zu schneidende Material gerne weg rauscht. Fr meine Zwecke jedoch vollkommen ausreichend.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for, much better than a mitre block, best tool for mitres.
I was trying to decorate a plain mirror so I used a flexible trim molding. Once you figure out the direction of the cut, the tool was easy to use to cut the angles. Love it!!
I use it for cutting small pieces (strips) of wood for making miniature dollhouse items. Love the assorted angles and it’s very sharp. You get a extra set of blades also. Very pleased.
I read a review on the same product but from a different brand which said the platform was bended. I immediatly thought i should buy from another brand with good reviews.
I bought this one but it was bended too. I almost wanted to send this back but then my colleague said it was probably meant to be like that so the material could bend a little bit too to make place for the knife to go through. So think of this before sending it back
Son fcil de usar,pero algunas molduras son duras para ella.
The shears seem sturdy and work well but as I’m new with them, I’m still learning how best to maneuver to get the best cut.
I’ve been wanting this tool for quite some time. So excited when it arrived on my doorstep. I’ve used it a few times for crafting — cutting thin pieces of wood. Love that it can cut angles!! It does a terrific job. But it does take some strength in your hands to squeeze it. That’s the reason for only 4 stars. I would not recommend this for someone with arthritic hands or just doesn’t strength in their hands.
I used this for cutting trim and other woodwork for my dollhouses. It is very user friendly and offers a wide array of angle options. I am pleased that it came with extra blades, as I can see it dulling somewhat quickly. Definitely a good started tool for someone who doesn’t want to invest in an electronic miter saw, which I have already ordered. 🙂
These things are great. Easy to use and accurate, even for a complete noob like me.
I saw a couple of reviews complaining that they would not open. There is a safety catch that holds the shears closed when not in use. It looks like a small orange cylinder with a philips head screw in the top (one the left just below the mitering surface.) Swing this outward from the top (philips head) and the shears will open; swing it back to hold them closed. Took me a second to get it open too–a small printout with a picture would save everyone a bit of trouble.
It is not easy to use. I wanted to cut some large craft sticks- not thick at all. All I can get is a partial cut, then flip it over and cut the rest of the way. My husband couldn’t cut with one cut either. That being said, we do both have arthritis in our hands, but I expected it to be sharper than this. And another negative is that there are no instructions.
I originally gave this item 1 star because the item broke the day I used it. As a product it is amazing! Until it broke it was the perfect tool for cutting quarter round. I contacted the company the day it broke and immediately had a response. After sending pics of the broken product they quickly shipped me a new tool. Customer service was friendly, helpful and on the spot!
Bottom line – this thing is a game changer for quarter round. I highly recommend it. Because if the quick response and friendliness I am changing my review to 5 stars…
I am giving this one star because it broke the first day I have used it. If customer service gets back to me I’ll upgrade the review.
Until the toggle broke this thing was fantastic! I figured out that you must cut the quarter round from the back each time. It just doesn’t cut straight from the beveled edge. Once I realized this I corrected and have had no issues.
This is WAY better that going outside for each cut using a mitre saw. I highly recommend it for cutting quarter round! I hope customer service handles their business in a timely manner! Once that happens I’ll post again
Bottom line: as long as yours doesn’t break it’s so much easier than a chop saw outside!!
