Homestyle Plastic Venetian Blind Slat Cutter, Grey

Albeit the good reviews I was weary whether it would perform its said function, mainly because of the low £4.99 cost and the fact that the picture of the product didn't fill me with confidence, looked cheap and flimsy. Having said that I received a completely different cutter, In black and in fact made the grey cutter in the picture seem superior and robust... because of the low cost I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Works brilliantly on PVC slats. I don't think you would be able to cut more then 2 sets of blinds until it's starts falling apart. Like many have suggested I would tape the base and measure to stop it from possibly moving. Can't really complain about having received a different product, I needed slat's cutting and that's exactly what I got. Job done.I think I received this product instead: Sunlover Blind Slat Cutter (type in Amazon search)

This product is good for 25mm blind slat, made of aluminium, paper or PVC.Not for wood or faux wood.

Made cutting down the blind slates so much quicker, easier and all the same length leaving a professional finish. It does exactly as it states.

Works well but the shortest length to trim that it can handle is quite long. I managed to pack out the back so I could make a shorter trim but it should say minimum as well as maximum trimming lengths

My husband could not stop singing the praises of this little gadget. It cuts through the plastic Venetian blind slats like ‘a knife through butter’. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately as another person mentioned the blades dont meet

Great gadget cut my blinds quick and easy, after measuring how much i need to cut off.I used small hacksaw to cut top and bottom of the blind and then indiviually cut the blinds using slat cutter . you have to be careful that you do not snag or cut too short but I found it easy to use and blinds look great. My advice do not rush cutting and cut each one individual , I bought new blind kept it together loosend a bit and then used left hand keeping blinds together and used right hand to cut each one as I went along. Made my job so much easier before I then put it in my window.

I’ve had and used mine for nearly 8 years. It works fine. Just remember to take your time and line the slat up properly before you cut. Only cut one slat at time.
