"I dont know how I installed without this tool! It is priceless!"

"Just a little note to let you know how happy we are with our laminate floor cutter.
About a year ago, Bob Pistario, our rep from NRF showed us the cutter and said that he used it and we couldn't live without it. Boy, was he right!
Productivity has increased dramatically. Our installers are able to do twice the work in half the time and they don't have to get up off the floor to cut the boards. We have got to the point that we don't even use a table or chop saw anymore and it eliminates all the sawdust! All the installers use is your cutter and a jig saw.
Last week, two installers put 24 cases of laminate in in 4 hours. That's almost 500 sf at $1.95/sf.
If anyone is installing laminate flooring, this tool is more important than any other tool on the truck!"

"I've had mine for around a year now, and have been very happy with the tool.
I install laminate and engineered hardwood flooring, and as you know, it has been a huge time-saver.
Another bonus is that because it produces no dust or noise, having it in the house, right where I am making my cuts to finish a row, saves me MANY trips to the table saw. My saw was always outside, on the ground, so I would get up and down twice as much as I do now. Much easier on the knees and dramatically less joint pain as a result. I work alone, and on a large job, I can get in another 100 feet a day, in the right situation.
My first job with the ... Magnum [Shear] was 2500 sq. ft. gluedown of 5" product, and I completed it 3 days sooner than what I had planned.
I mention your product every chance I get, on FCIMAG.com, and the Flooringinstaller.com bulletin boards. I post under the name SK hardwoods. Just wanted to share with you my satisfaction with your products, thanks for a great tool. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to buy one!"

The Magnum Shear has also been tested and approved by the Certified Flooring Installers Association (CFI). John Namba tested the machine and was satisfied with the cut it produced and ease of use. Finally, manufacturers including Mannington, Pergo, Armstrong and WilsonArt have informally approved the cut produced by the machine and many use the Magnum Shear in their training classes.
". . . the Scorpion has been going well; you've saved a couple of older installers."
