Crain Carpet Wood Miter 855 (Black Handle)

Saw few reviews, if any, from other contractors. These are awesome. Saves a ton of time from getting up and going back and forth to the saw when doing base shoe/quarter round. They cut pine quarter round just as good as the trim saw and without launching the little sub 2 inch pieces from the saw. Unsure of how they would perform on hardwood material but they work great on pine. I'm very impressed

Easy to use for quarter round. Quality tool that will last a long time.

This has helped me put new quarter round in my whole house. Cutting on the miter can be dangerous plus all the back and forth outside sucks. I work so much more quickly with this tool largely with pine trim and a few pvc pieces. Obviously, the PVC is easiest to cut, use that in the bathrooms. But haven't had trouble with the pine either but have to squeeze a little bit tighter. I'm a woman and didn't have any issue using this tool, no matter what just ease into your squeeze. So glad I saw this demonstrated on a youtube video, probably the best thing I bought for my remodel. Why anyone would not use this knowing its out there would be crazy.

Bought this on a recommendation from a professional floor refinisher. I recently installed over 500 linear feet of Shoe Molding without touching a saw. It takes a bit of time to get the feel of the cutting guide. The guide is set at 90 deg to the face of the blade so you have to remember to hold the piece you plan to use tight on the guide but soon enough I was making perfect miters and even back cuts to finish blind ends. The house had many intricate trim details. The baseboard shoe molding under each window required eight miters per window and this tool probably cut the job time in half. There is a bigger model that will cut larger molding. This one is limited to about 11/16" in pine but the blade seems to hold it's edge well.

I like this product for doing small areas like a bathroom or anything with just a few cuts. It's better than dragging out a miter saw. It does better on PVC than on wood. With wood, it can crush the edges so you have to cut again or putty them. I wouldn't use it on stain grade or anything hard, but it's fine for pine or PVC.

It works great saves a lot of time, but the last one I bought the blade broke real easy cutting 1/4 round I think the blade must have been defective. But as a trim carpenter it's one tool I can't ldo with out.

Works just as advertised. Never used one before this purchase, so i'm sure there's a learning curve to go through. Using the cheap poly quarter round the bottom of the stock would chip a little bit. I don't really blame the cutter though. Saved a TON of time as compared to getting back up and walking out to the miter saw, only to find out it needs to be trimmed more. Was so nice just to snip the pieces to fit and nail in place. Did roughly 225 linear feet of quarter round in probably 15-20 minutes. Same job would've taken 30-45 at least with a miter saw. Would definitely buy again.

I'd laugh if I wasn't so disgusted. These wouldn't even cut a shim! Check out what they did to quarter round! Don't waste your time or money. Now I get to make a trip to UPS to return them- in a box. They didn't come in a box!
