Customer Reviews
works well though even when following all instructions was hard to start rope
Maybe the blade I got was dull? I've tried re-arranging the blade every way but it does not cut at all. I tried honing it on sandpaper too with no effect. I can only get inch long strips of plastic before it jams and I have to restart
Hi there!
Thank you so much for reaching out and letting us know about your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and want to make sure you’re completely satisfied.
This issue is actually a fairly common one with this tool, and it can have a bit of a learning curve. However, I promise it’s worth it once you get the hang of it! Typically, this happens for one of two reasons:
Blade Installation:
The most common issue is that the blade is installed with the bevel side facing up. For this tool, the blade needs to be positioned 'upside down' compared to how blades are typically installed. The edge should not be visible when the blade is installed correctly. This unique positioning causes the bottle to cut downwards instead of upwards, ensuring smooth, continuous material. If the bevel is facing up, the bottle naturally slips off the blade, often resulting in just a few inches of material like what you described.
Starting the Bottle:
When you first start cutting, the tool works to straighten out the edge of the bottle. Sometimes this results in shorter pieces until the bottle’s edge is even. Once the bottom is cut flat, you should start seeing longer, consistent strips.
To help you out, I’m including a couple of video links that cover blade installation and operating tips for using the tool effectively. I think these will really help!
This video covers the blade installation, it should start at that point in the video for you.

Very well thought out items
Tried it as soon it arrived and was pleased. This tool will make it possible to make cordage from waste bottles to tie what ever, tarp, tie a chair, or what ever. Then spare your more pricey paracords for more important projects. Perfect doomsday diy tool.
We love our Grimm cards and it was so cool collaborating with them to make custom cards with multiple arrowheads and snare trigger! We gave them to all the students and competitors at the PNW Survival Games!
