STANLEYLaminate Trimmer with Twin Blades and Spring Loaded, STHT0-16139

Great product used to trim kitchen cupboard doors works very well and very easy to use.Great tool

Works well… definitely a knack to using. (You don’t need to squeeze as hard as you think). Then can easily tidy up the edges with sanding.Would I buy again… yes

I was surprised at just how easy and pain-free this was for trimming iron-on edge banding. Make sure you squeeze it tight enough then whoosh along the edge and you're done. Brilliant.

At first I was impressed, easy to use just place it over the edge(s) to be trimmed and squeeze together then slide along the panel. It cut well to start with.It uses multiple blades to do the initial trim and then a bevel cut to finish. But it doesn't always work and I found a lot of edges needed softened with manual sanding.The blade life is poor though (and I couldn't find replacement parts). I used this on 50 panels, that were only being banded on one edge. Around panel 20 I noticed I was starting to get tear out as the blades dulled.By panel 30 I was using this "one sided" basically not squeezing it together and lightly using the one edge to trim but not all the way down, then finishing with hand sanding.I think it's a good idea, poorly executed and the fact that the blades are accessible and screwed in but you can't get replacements is nutty.It does take a little hand strength to adequately squeeze the tool together so be aware of that if you have poor grip strength.

Good product for cutting shelves edge

I had never used laminate edge banding, the trimmer is so easy to use. What I will say is, you need to use a very firm grip to get the best results, the spring is definitely not for weaklings. That said, moo complaints from me.

This is my 2nd (I lost my first) I don’t usually use glue/iron on laminate so it’s an occasional use only… but does the job well

Interesting idea but failed execution:1) The two sides are just using simple mechanism which is supposed to keep them parallel but it does not. When you try to squeeze it harder to be sure they are parallel you start biting into the wood!2) To overcome it I started using only one side of it which really defeats its purpose3) On top of that it is made of black plastic which marked my white edge banding every single time which was hard to remove (not able to remove it completely at all)After doing several boards I got to a point that I started having some better results but:1) The reason I bought it was to do the job quickly and easily - it is not the case2) Even using one side of the tool only still leaves black marks (at least on white banding)I highly recommend NOT to buy this device - you are far better with a chisel or a utility blade knife or you might want to invest into a similar one sided aluminum version.
