Bosch XEO Cordless Lithium-Ion Universal Cutter

Just bought one of these a must for anyone thats doing that horrible yukkie Sissal/Seagrass stuff. Check out the link its a Bosch XEO Cordless Lithium-Ion Universal Cutter works like a dream on sissal and sea grass its quick neat leaves no fraying edges and fantastic for cutting down your runs for the stairs. For fitting crease sissal or sea grass tight into skirting/gripper, then make a small incision slot in the cutter lay it on its side and fire it up it will cut all the way along the skirting leaving you exactly 10mm of clean and neatly cut edge to just tuck down its perfect for this stuff.http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000VWTD...de=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B000VWTD3C

 

Looks a great tool Jay, but is there any fear of damaging the skirting?

 

thanks for the tip Matt

 

I found it great although thinking about it if you are left handed its gonna give you a problem as it seems to be more aimed at right handed opperation than left. Like Matt says though you'll either love it or hate it no marking of the skirting and a snip at £20.

 

What other tools can you cut sisal/seagrass with? apart from a knife :roll:

 

Sheer's, Strimmer, Lawnmower did i miss anything.

 

Ha, I hate that stuff, Ive only ever cutt it with one of those tools you posted Jay but I would of thought they would have a proper tool made just for fitting the stuff? They love it in the states I wonder if they have any tools for it?

 

No its the same for them Merit just knives or sheers.

 

Im the same, not a fan of the stuff and go through a handful of blades at a time fitting it lol
But that tool does look like something handy
*on to my shopping list it goes*

Is it good for cutting carpet off a roll!

I would of thought so Steve I'll give it a try and let ya know.

 

have had one of the tools for a few years now thought it was great for roughing in esp on stringy berbers, fold over use the body of the machine as a guide against the skirting and hey presto 1 1/2 inches up the skirting for the trimmer to take of. misplaced the charger never missed it. :lol: :lol: .must see if i can find it give it another go, never know might fall in love all over again. the punters though it was great "hey yous boys has all ta toools" (must be said in a south antrim accent) :lol:

 

I have looked at these but was not sure how long the blade would last in use with carpet.
I belive they were developed for the cloth trade.

If they were for the ragtrade Rugrat and you sold them ,you would be known as Ragrat :lol: :roll:

 

Thank you!!!!

 

Dragging up and old thread !
I fancy having a punt on this for sisal , I wonder if Jay is still using it ?

 

Not had to fit any sisall or Seagrass for ages...but I still want one of those now

 

They do a professional version of the original now 10.8v , if it works would be great cutting in , it's a case of if it cuts enough off I suppose when it tilted side ways
