Features

  • A CUT ABOVE SCISSORS: The Ronan Multi-Cut 401 has a different mechanical action than scissors, which are limited to cutting paper, fabric and thin plastic sheets. This tools razor sharp 4 inch blade comes down onto a flat anvil, and its offset pivot point allows you to cut thick, rigid and dense materials.
  • MAKES THE CUT: The patented design can be used for industrial and DIY purposes to cut plastic, linoleum, shrubs, thick leather, all types of hoses, auto belts, PEX pipes, wood dowels, boxes, branches, plants, plastic, ropes and more.
  • CLEAN CUT: Its high impact plastic anvil prevents splintering and fraying of the material you're cutting. Its resistant to rust and corrosion. Steel razor blades will last about 18 months each and package comes included with 3 extra replacement blades which are simple to switch out.
  • CUT YOURSELF A BREAK: Cutter has a molded ergonomic grip handle for both small and large hands for maximum comfort and to lessen fatigue. The offset pivot point gives you extra leverage, making difficult items easy to cut. It also has a safety lock to ensure it stays closed when not in use.
  • 3 EXTRA BLADES INCLUDED
  • SUPPORTED CUTS: PEX/plastic tubing, rope, leather, soft trim/linoleum, light pruning, wood dowels. NOT FOR: thick metal (coins, nails/bolts), hard PVC, very hard materials.

Description

Does it cut through wood cleanly? Yes, it handles wood dowels and light branches cleanly. The offset pivot design gives you the leverage needed for dense materials that would jam regular scissors or shears. How difficult is it to change the blades? Takes about 10 seconds. No screwdrivers or special tools needed - the blade release is built right into the design. Three spare blades are included. Will it cut thick rope without fraying the ends? Yes. The high-impact anvil supports the material while the razor-sharp blade slices through, preventing the fraying and rough edges you'd get with dull scissors. What materials should I avoid cutting with this? Don't use it on thick metal objects like coins or bolts, hard PVC pipe, or extremely hard materials. It's designed for moderate-density materials like plastic tubing, leather, rope, and wood.

  • Excellent Quality , Good Price, Best outcome
Excellent Cutter. I am a Garage Door Technician. I needed a tool to cut the weather stripping . This tool does the work perfect. The cut looks like factory cut. Very easy to use and minimal effort to cut trim. I do recommend it 1000 %

  • The Right Tool for the Job!
This turns out to be exactly what I needed to get rid of old garden hoses around the property! I started with one 50-foot length and cut it into pieces that were about a foot and a half long. The blade is still sharp enough to cut some more. If a person wanted to, they could get the same results with a razor blade or box cutter, but this tool made the work go a whole lot quicker! Not only that, but it is a lot safer to use this tool than it would be to use a box cutter. ... show more

  • Don’t listen to the diy’ers who don’t understand tools. These things rock.
I’m on my 3rd or 4th pair, not because they are bad, because I lost them doing road service. I read that some people have an issue with them cutting “small branches” and metal wire. If you’re bending them, you are misusing them, if you are chipping the blades then they are doing the job but of course you’re chipping the blade cutting wire, it’s a razor blade!. I have never bent a pair but I have chipped the blades. I cut a lot of automotive wire and cables. 1/0 wire and down, 7 way trailer cable, airbrake tubing (the best), radiator hoses. I have used them for pruning trees but not small branches, that’s why I have pruners. As amazing as these are they have limitations. I’ve had a couple of different brands from blue point to this brand (I’m buying another pair today) and they seem to be all the same with a different branded handle and anvil. I have used these with the same blade for a long time. Even with some chips in the blade they cut clean with ease. Do not hesitate to buy these and if you abuse them to the point you are bending them don’t blame the tool. Buy the right tool for the job. These things do work, I am a craftsman who does many things, mechanics, welding, fabrication, interior work, wood working, landscaping automotive and home electrical, fiberglass work…. I always seem to find a use for these without issue. Would I cut a 1” or bigger branch? No. But they will cut through a 1” branch. Will it cut a hundred “small branches? Probably not. Buy pruners. Even with the blade chipped up it still cuts nylon airbrake tubing clean and square for those quick connect fittings. Don’t listen to a light duty DIY’er who doesn’t understand tools. I have 10’s of thousands of dollars in tools and equipment. These are the real deal. ... show more

  • Cuts through leather, rubber and plastic.
Purchased at the suggestion of an internet tool restorer, so far every tool he suggests is a 5 star. This tool will easily cut through leather, rubber or molded plastic. A must if you plan to install garage door weatherstripping.

  • Cuts rope nice, but a problem
I bought this for cutting rope. It does do a good job, but one thing I noticed is that the blade does not come down on the anvil evenly. Even with trying to readjust the blade, I am unable to fix this. It will still be useful to have, but cutter is not as good as it could be.

  • Great tool!
Love this tool! Replaced an older Craftsman tool that has gone missing. Feels very sturdy, replacement blades right in the handle. Completely satisfied but wish the price was a little better.

  • Not made well as they used to be!
I have bought this item, years ago and then misplaced this very wonderful tool. The replacement is seriously misaligned so that the tool does not cut anything until the edge to be cut is pushed down into position! It can not be fixed or realigned!!! Very disappointing!
