Hand-Held Metal, Vinyl “Slitter”
The slitter is CNC-milled from 3/4-in. thick aluminum and measures 6-in. high by 8-in. long, making it small enough to fit in a nail pouch. It weighs just 2.3 lbs. The cutting is done by a pair of overlapping 2-in. dia. cutter wheels made from German quality steel.
The tool is designed to be pushed or pulled lengthwise. You hold the metal with one hand and push or pull the slitter with the other hand.
“Whether it’s pushed or pulled, it makes smooth cuts without scratching anything,” says Schmucker. “It works great on corrugated metal roofing because it makes a much smoother cut than cordless cutters, which cut more like a scissors going up and down. It also works great to cut trim pieces. The only limitation is that it can’t be used to cut sideways over the metal. The wheels can be sent in for resharpening.”
The metal and vinyl slitter retails for $275, with free shipping to the lower 48 states.
