HYDE Tools Plastic Cutting Tool Plastic Glass Cutter

Fantastic to cut plastic sheets!!

Perfect for task it was intended for

Considering the price of this tool it would nice if it was provided with cover for when not in use

Dissapointing! Ok for scoring lines on the surface of plastic but hardly a cutting tool. A Stanley knife would work as well.

At first, I was using a razor blade to score plexiglass and kydex then snapping it. I had to press really hard and keep my ruler straight. Took multiple passes before I could snap it.With this tool, it's much faster. Takes less effort and I don't have to press down as hard, which I think is safer too. It's so much easier to work on the plexiglass. Wish I bought this sooner.Not sure how long the sharpness will last since I don't cut plexiglass often. But it's great to have in the toolbox.

I finally used this today to cut 1/8” (I think) acrylic to fit a computer case side panel opening. It was nice and sharp and the window fits. Looks like the pointy side is for push and the curved for pull and can be sharpened. I’ll definitely use it again for my next project requiring plexiglass with straight cuts. Someone recommended I do this cut with a jigsaw but I don’t have one. This saved me $

This knife works for what I needed (cutting plexi sheets) but could use some improvements. I ended up wrapping the handle to provide a little extra cushion. You have to use quite a bit of force, and you have to go over the cut multiple times to get it deep enough to break, so it is hard on your hand. The extra wrapping on the handle allowed me to work a little longer without having open blisters on my hand. A wider and rounder handle would be a great improvement on this cutter, but you can beef it up yourself, if you want. Not bad for the price, but know that what you're paying for is the cutting blade, and not a good handle.

Works well for cutting plastic sheets.

Needed to cut just one 1/8" acrylic sheet so I didn't want to spend a lot of money but I also didn't want a cheap tool that would leave jagged edges. This was a very pleasant surprise. Just needed to score the acrylic a few times and it snapped perfectly with no jagged or uneven edges. Just a quick pass along the cut edges with a fine sandpaper and my task was complete
