Hey has anyone used the bladerunner carpet multi-tool? I looks like it would work really well, but I don't know anyone who is using it yet. Supposedly it works as a tucking tool, carpet knife, top cutter and row finder.

It looks pretty cool in this video, but I'd like to hear from someone who's actually used one.

I've cut some fritz tile in the past and the 13", 20" and 26" I-series Magnum Shear's worked pretty well. It essentially cuts through part way and breaks through the rest, but the result is a straight cut that is fairly accurate. Compared to cutting it with a wet saw this is way more simple, faster and easier.

The blade dulls pretty quickly on Fritz Tile, but as long as you are only cutting this product it shouldn't matter. If you are going to cut something else (laminate flooring, wood flooring etc.), I'd recommend getting another blade.

I tried it on the thin (~1/4" fritz tile first and it worked, but on the thicker fritz tile I would not recommend the Magnum Shear. Regarding the RCT-Magnum Shear that cuts carpet tile, VCT, luxury vinyl and most soft flooring tiles and planks....I would not recommend it on this product, since Fritz tile is hard I'm fairly certain that it would ruin the RCT blade which is super sharp, but not durable on hard products.

Maybe if the bread is already sliced (under 1" thick) otherwise you couldn't cut bread because the blade only open's 1" wide....

...Any idea of when there will be a machine that can cut thicker products like decking etc.? That would be really cool.

I've got to say that the I-20 Pro Magnum is the all around best...especially the 2010 model with upgraded bearings and laser included. It's not to heavy but still has good versatility.
