Whether you’re surrounded by moving boxes or just went on an online shopping spree, if you have a lot of cardboard boxes you need to break down, a Worx ZipSnip might be perfect for you. This electric rotary cutter is cordless, making it super easy for you use and for a final few hours, Best Buy is slashing $20 off the cost of this electric cutting tool, bringing the price to just $25. This deal expires tonight, April 4, so be sure to get your order in soon if you want to grab one at this price.
Ditching your old-fashioned box cutter for an electric model can save you time and effort when it comes to opening packages and breaking down boxes. As mentioned above, the 4-volt ZipSnip is cordless, and it weighs less than a pound, which makes it very easy to maneuver. Plus, it can cut through a variety of materials up to 1/4-inch thick, including plastic packaging, cardboard, fabric, rubber, leather, wrapping paper and more. That means you can also use this tool while wrapping gifts or for other household chores year-round. Once the device is fully charged, it should last for months — and there’s a battery indicator so you’ll know when you need to give it a boost.
Its blade self-sharpens with each use, so you don’t have to worry about a dull blade hampering your cutting accuracy. Plus, the device has a blade guard, and you have to push both a safety switch and the trigger at the same time to operate the tool, which helps prevent accidents.
