Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter
First and foremost you must ensure that the type of flooring you have purchased is suitable for a floating installation, if the floor is a solid wood type then it is not suitable for floating, this is because solid wood is prone to a large amount of expansion, these types of floor need to be directly bonded to the sub floor by either nailing or gluing down.
The only types of wood floors that can be floated are those that are engineered, this flooring is made by bonding a veneer of wood, often called a 'stave' to multi layer ply wood. This creates a multi directional structure, which makes it very stable, and therefore suitable for floating installation.
Now you have ensured that your flooring is suitable for this type of installation, you must ensure that your subfloor is suitable and ready to accept your flooring.
With a floating floor your sub floor can be timber, concrete, or screed or a mixture of all three, you have to ensure that your sub floor is level and flat i.e. no deviations greater than plus or minus 2mm over 1.5m.
If the sub floor does need levelling, then this can be done using a variety of methods. If you have floor boards which are cupped and crowned i.e convexed or concaved, then you can \'ply over' these using 3mm ply or hardboard. The ply or hardboard should be stapled down using 18 gauge 18mm staples or tacked down using annular ring shank nails no longer than 20mm. The depth of these fixings is very important as if they too long then there is a chance you may hit a water/gas pipe, as these are sometimes notched into the joists underneath the floor boards.

Multi cutter tool
Purchased this tool thinking it would be easy to cut berber carpeting in manageable strips for disposal. WRONG. Nothing thicker than cardboard would this tool be useful.

Still going strong after around two years
Got this as soon as it came out at a local brick and mortar, so may even be more than two years old now, don't remember exactly when I got it.
Battery still is strong and holds a charge, so I"m luckier than some of the other reviewers who talked about having battery concerns.
Others have mentioned how it has problems feeding things too thick, but for me that's not an issue since I use it exclusively for cardboard boxes. Everything I get is purchased almost exclusively online, so the Fed Ex and UPS guys are here all the time. I end up with way too many cardboard boxes to break down, as our recycling pickup requires everything in 2x2 pieces. So I got this to help that task, and it sure did.
Much better than using a razor cutter as I had been, and the way it protrudes makes it work great at the edges of the boxes to cut each side away.
The button locations were not a problem for me at all, feels just fine. It's comfortable to hold for a while and shaped well to fit into the hand, and gives you a great grip to push it through the cardboard.
I like that the light changes color so you can see when it needs charging, as well as can see when the charging is complete. It's nice to be able to just turn it on for a sec to verify that it has a charge before I go to use it.
It's also nice that it works at a good speed just about to the very end of battery life. It doesn't just slow down and become useless, it keeps working right up to the end.
For someone like me who gets a ton of cardboard in the mail, it's an absolute requirement.

great cutter
I purchased this tool based on other reviews at Amazon. I use it to break down card board boxes,cut heavy craft paper and open items received in plastic containers.

not a heavy duty cutter
I'm sure this is fine to cut cardboard, however it is not a good idea to buy this for anything more than small projects. I tried to cut vinyl tile with this and it chokes up every few seconds, causing me to go back to using a normal razor blade for better accuracy.

A Must Have for Cardboard boxes
Skil 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter. Note that I only have used this item for breaking down boxes from our business shipments. I was tired of cutting down boxes using a standard box-cutter blade, for flat packing.
For single-wall cartons, this cutter slices through the box folds/creases with ease, like pushing an self-powered lawnmower.
For single-wall cartons, cuts not-along the box folds, are still a breeze, with minimal effort.
Double-wall shipping cartons require a tad bit more effort to push the cutter, but nothing worth complaining about for a battery powered hand-cutter.
I have yet to find a battery-powered cutter that performs better then this model. I cut a few hundred boxes a week, about 20" cubed or larger, and have no complaints. With 30 minute box cutting sessions per day, I only have to recharge this cutter at the end of each week. The power indicator turns red, when you need a charge, just like a beard shaver.
Definately recommended for breaking down single or doublewall shipping cartons.
