For a small project like I had this tool worked great. I can't say how long the blade will last because I didn't use it much, under 20' of banding. Do a test to get the feel of it and it is a good buy.

Works good and saves time.

First off, you need to determine the direction of grain and not work against it or you will tear not cut your material. This style of trimmer works best with when removing small amounts of material. For larger amounts I found the rotary style trimmers to work much better. Like most trimmers, keep some alcohol handy to remove the glue that always builds up from use. The outside corner of the cutter needs to be softened with a file or similar or it will leave a mark on your wood. Used in conjunction with other trimmers this works well. It has a place in my shop, but I do not rely on it as the only means for trimming. I use it more for touch up than gross trimming.

So easy to use

I was using this to trim some wood edge banding that i applied to plywood shelves. The tool kept getting caught an gouging the shelves. It wasn't working well until I first trimmed the edge banding with a razor, then used this tool. Even then the results were mixed.

I’m really liking using this simple tool. It works much better than trying to do this by hand with a utility knife. You still need to pay attention to the grain direction. You can get a hint if you’re going to have a problem if the cut starts to turn into a tear that wants to get ahead of the cutter. Best thing to do if that starts to happen is to stop and approach from the opposite direction. The cutters seem sharp and durable. And while I haven’t tried the plastic dual sided cutters, I think I’d prefer the control this tool provides.

I did not have good luck with this tool for trimming edge of veneer. Its not quite sharp enough to get a good clean cut and it kept catching the surface of the veneer. I was using a high quality rift cut white oak veneer. Fortunately its very inexpensive so not a big waste, get what you pay for.

Works great.
