Olfa PC-L Heavy Duty Plastics and Laminates Knife/cutter

So glad I found this, it cuts through plastic really well, not just hard plastic but thick softer plastics which seem really difficult to cut with much else.I've been looking for something to use on a RUB to make a hamster bin cage as I really didn't want to mess about with a soldering iron & this has just done the job easily & surprisingly quickly.It does make a rather horrible noise, a bit like a dentist drill! & it does take quite a few cuts but it does works well & leaves a nice clean edge.Couldn't be happier.

This knife is sharp but safe to use. It cut my 3mm perspex easily and saved me a lot of money.

Very pleased and well made. Cutting 4m acrylic not a problem as long as you follow the instructions. The first cut was nerve racking (you have to snap the acrylic along the grooved line) but it gets easier the more you do! Not ideal for very small or intricate cut outs (round window handle etc) but I did manage. Great product.

I had to cut some acrylic to install secondary glazing and tried cutting with a Stanley knife and it was a disaster. Pointless and it works perfectly it does cut acrylic well And made my life a hell of a lot easier

Wow!!!! Never having cut glass or acrylic before, I was really nervous about cutting huge sheets of acrylic 4mm thick for framing artwork and cross stitch but this tool was an absolute doddle to use. I cut 6 pieces roughly A4 in size in a matter of minutes.It's really comfortable to hold, feels solid and robust, and changing the blades (it comes with spares) appears to be very simple.NOTE: You will not cut right through the acrylic, just create a deep groove which then allows you to break the sheet like cutting a pane of glass.You will need to slooooowly score a line down the edge of a steel ruler or similar with the hook part, and repeat the process again to form a shallow groove. Then, using the flat edge of the blade, score down the groove half a dozen times or so, ensuring that a nice spiral of waste comes off each time. The noise is akin to nails on a blackboard (cringe).The next part is apparently similar to cutting glass, so I'm told. Hold the acrylic sheet with both hands, one hand on each side of the score line, and snap sharply along the score line. Turn the sheet round and repeat the process on the other end.There are a number of YouTube videos out there which show you exactly how to do this process far better than my description!

Read a lot of reviews before buying,works a lot better than a craft knife if needed another i would buy again.

Bought this to cut plastic sheet. From the reviews thought it would a simple cut. No, took me over a hour to make 3 cuts. Not what it states on the tin. Did the job eventually

Nice to handle. Used it to cut acrylic sheets for my shed. Did the job very well. Came with spare blades. Thanks
