box handle cutter

I had been using a pocket knife or straight edge blade to cut handles in boxes for decades. When I came across this, I thought it might just be halfway decent. Boy was I wrong. This thing is awesome. I wish I had it decades ago. It takes a bit of pressure on both sides of the tool, but don't let that fool you. It's plenty capable of cutting cardboard (and puncture fingers as I did, just to see the blades). Be careful, it's definitely sharp, with teeth of sharpened steel that look like shark's teeth.

Does what it’s supposed to. Cracked after about five or so uses, but still able to use. Wish the holes were a little bigger, but still easier than cutting out manually.

Perfect for buying cheaper boxes and making them easier to move. Instead of paying extra for precut handles, I bought this and found boxes for about a dollar each at Walmart. Compared to three dollar boxes with handles, I am saving some serious money. This would also work for free boxes- I just wanted them all to be the same size so they pack in the moving truck better.As far as using this device, I have a couple of tips. 1) the two pieces of this hole cutter only line up one way. After trying to do it wrong and cutting the plastic, I marked the tops of both pieces with a sharpie so I windows it again. 2) I don't know why I expected it to cut through the boxes like butter, but it obviously doesn't... The best way I have found is to hold one side in place and hit the center of the other side with my other palm. A rubber mallet would work as well. Unless you are the hulk, you might find this useful.

The blades are made of aluminum and bend easily. This item is difficult to use as well.

We use these daily in our shipping department.They work really well and we just with they made one with a longer blade to work better for double wall boxes.Maybe even an upgraded version with thicker steel on the blade, but for the current price.....we just order them every so aften.

Yet another very cheaply made piece of junk that we're expected to rely on for a laborious task. Cheap plastic, ends didn't line up or punch inward smoothly (yes, I had them both facing the right direction). Eventually got it to work, but then after making just a few holes, it stopped sliding at all. Come to find that a tiny tooth of the blade had bent inward, prevening the whole thing from working. Even the metal part of this device was super cheap and junkie.

They is good about this item. The only problem I had was I was not strong enough to push it together to make the full cut to the box. It does make a marking to were to use a box knife to finish it. I would buy again from this people. Packages it super good. Still an A plus to me .

Some of my moving boxes didn’t have handles, while other boxes’ handles broke. This tool was a game changer! My sister thought it was a waste of money until it arrived… now she’s asking me what it was called so she can send her friend who’s moving the link. It’s sturdier than it seems. My other friend who was helping me pack was so amazed at it too and was looking for boxes to add handles to! Highly recommend this game changer moving tool!
