Works great!!
I get where company's are going with this rounded head idea, but wouldn't it make more sense instead of having a rounded hook-like shape, for it to be more of an arrow-like shape, so the plastic could sit more flush against the surface? With the end of the plastic, that comes back to meet the knife, coming to a sharper point like an acute angle so it would do a better job lifting the vinyl as you glide it down to cut? The rounded head makes it so you almost have to put the handle through the vinyl just to be at the correct angle to cut it, like on the negative grade of a slope for instance...
Works great to cut wrap off roll but only comes with one blade….
Did a nice job glad I got it
Once you realize the angle and strength you need to use to make cuts, it's pretty nice to use.
