Worx ZipSnip Cutting Tool Vs Bosch/Skil: Which is Better?

- In this video we review the Worx WX081L Cutting tool, comparing it to my old Skil Cordless Cutting Tool, manufactured by Bosch. We put both cutters to the challenge, using them as a cardboard cutter, and through other materials, papers, plastic packaging, carpeting and many other construction materials. The Skil cordless cutter is no longer made, but it was one of the best tools around, making the perfect cardboard slicer. Please forgive the performance of my skil cutting tool, after 5 years of abuse and drops and bags, it's a bit out of alignment, and ready to be put out to pasture.

The Worx wx081l zipsnip cutting tool is about $38 on Amazon. The zipsnip cordless cutter takes about 5 hours to charge and will easily cut the 40-50 6 foot long cardboard boxes we use when installing flooring in our flip properties. - Jak na to + styl

I think it's not fair to compare your old and new tools Jeff... If you're going to ask me what I would buy? I'll buy the Skil since it's straight forward on their product specially on this snips. SKIL has a USB charger and it's also convertible unlike WORX.
@@arnoldtanodra9082 I know I was really hoping the tool would perform better but it really is at the end of its life
It’s funny, I have one of these cutters that my wife bought me several years ago. It is a Skil, but mine looks just like the Worx design. I recently used mine to cut 100 foot of 1/4” hardware cloth for our chicken run. It was a life saver!
Very cool!
great review, really appreciate you showing a bunch of different things to cut with it
Glad it was helpful!
I also use the same method to cut vinyl siding , especially in winter , it doesn't crack the vinyl like other methods !
That's a good idea Drake, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I was thinking about getting my husband a tool like this. He has lots of power tools, but definitely not one like this.
Glad it was helpful! This is a great tool
The charger on the worx zip snip is precisely the reason that I am shopping for a new tool.
I see a makita model likely kicks ass on anything you are showing us here.
Looks like a great tool, For me, I fold all of my boxes and use no power. It's so easy, just cut along any tape that's holding the box together.............and fold. Saves a LOT of time and energy and battery power. Unless you deliberately have to get the box into small pieces in a very small recycling bin, can't see any reason to cut it into such small pieces unless that's purely for demo purposes.
I usually cut to 12" up to 18" pieces for recylce
the vinyl tile is what I really needed to see. I need to make small rounded cuts. It seems like the tool worked but it would be a struggle to use several times. hopefully I can find something.
Jig saw!
@jeffostroff Tuesday we'll be 90° and probably around 80-85% humidity. We're headed for 95° by the weekend. That's Southwestern Michigan and Northern Indiana. Our humidity can run 95% at times. We need it to turn into rain. The ground is very dry right now.
Ouch that's hot.
Enjoyed your Video.-- Great that you used so many different materials. -- Question -- How do you know if the Worx is as good or better than the Skil since you were you using a Skil that had a lot of past wear on it. --- Do you think one cuts better than the other if they were both brand new ?
I think they are made by the same company. I think they were the same because the Skil used to be able to do what the Worx was doing.
@@jeffostroff Thanks for the info. -- I appreciate it !
You should have also included the WARRIOR
4V Lithium-Ion Cordless Power Cutter with spare blade on sale for $34.99 it works great
Will do a separate review later!
Cool machine. 🇺🇸👍
Sure is! thanks for watching Den!
Nice video and comparison. Were you comparing an old work out tool to a new tool fresh out of the box? I guess Skil didn't stand a chance but was it because it was old? BTW, when you cut the 3 ring binder, it was quite scary seeing your other hand directly in front of the tool. Yikes, be carful!
Just curious how old was the blade on the Skil? I've the little skil screwdriver that's identical to that cutting tool and think it's neat. Would you say the skil cutting was well worth it?
Yes, the tool was worth it. If you can find the head unit with the blade on eBay, it might fit your tool. The blade is awesome and self sharpens.
@ approximately 16 minutes into the video, where the Skil could not run through the carpet that just been cut, you ought to run have ran the Worx for a second pass to really demonstrate its cutting superiority...since the cutted carpet tension was reduced. Overall not bad video. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
A battery replacement might help the old tool. The new one seems decent. Don't know if I'd spend that much on one though
Problem is not the battery, the guard is all bent out of shape from years of abuse, the blade is still spinning correctly.
I just did a video on the warrior seems to be good for the money, you can use a 20% off on it.
I plan to do that, thanks!
You’re comparing a brand new tool to an old, dying one. Compare 🍎s to 🍎s. This comparison is pretty useless
Yes, it was just to show you the functionality of the Skil tool
Hi Jeff, I appreciate the vids. I just had a question for you. Is there any cordless framing nailer that you have used / recommend?
Not yet, but I imagine I'll be getting the DeWalt as I have a lot of their batteries, or maybe Milwaukee. I have to research it.
@@jeffostroff That's the thing, I'm on the DeWalt platform but what I've seen so far, the Milwaukee & metabo HPT seem to be more powerful. But up their at the Depot they have the old school pneumatic DeWalt for $60. I believe I saw it somewhere else for $40.
@@justingries819 -- before Black Fridays Matter HD had their Husky pneumatic framer down to around $90. Afterwards it went as low as about $70 and then went to well over $120. I lost interest when the price went up so high. It's now down to $69 - which surprised me because I expected it to be in the $120+ range. My store only stocked it during BFM. I wish someone (ah hmmm, Jeff) would review that one because the online reviews are really good.
@@SouthBaySteelers he's probably not sponsored by a big corporation like home depot and in order for him to do a review on a product like husky he probably has to pay out of pocket and he already said he's probably going to buy a DeWalt So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say if he's gonna review any nailers it's probably gonna be a DeWalt
David Carpenter it’s back up to $159
friend, just get the makita rotary cutter. at 12v it cuts through 95% of anything you'll want to cut.
Id never buy 1 but this was neat lol
It is a fun tool
I get what you were doing. Old verses new plays no part. But I need to know how to compare tool verses tool. Which one might be the best one to purchase so I don't feel like I'm wasting money on one when the other has a little more kick to it. I only have one question about both tools, do they both provide the same quality and functions?
All of these tools work great, the Worx is good, as is the Warrior from harbor freight
@@jeffostroff thank you.
I know this is a old video. I got the ryobi version of this. Can you check that out and compare to this zipsnip?
They had the radio version of this one not at Home Depot when I was doing my Black Friday walkthrough, but we didn't have it in stock it was only a picture of it on the display I do want to score one however and do a comparison video
I just purchased the zip snip but after watching your video I think I like the skil better I like how the head comes off of the skil I'd take it off & pop it into my impact drill & really get it flying, if the guard on you're skil is tweaked why don't you just bend it back? You seem mechanically inclined just clamp some visegrips on the edge and bend it back in place a little
I've tried it, just seems the alignment is too critical. Canadian company sells them for $50 but it's $25 shipping to FL. I woudl buy a new one if the total cost didn't come out to 3X my original $24 price.
I have the works zip snip and it can cut through carpet
What I do to cut blinds is , use a grinder with a thin metal cutting wheel , and cut the whole stack at once , but do it outside ! I also use a clamps to keep it in line after I align square ! Try it for yourself , let me know what you think ?
Great tip! No chips at all on the bottom?
If You Can Remove The Blade & Cutting Head Then You Should
Beable To Sharpen It.
Either. Oscillating tool with hook blade is the best and one less tool to charge
How are you going to cut cardboard with a hook blade? Gift wrapping paper?
jeffostroff ?? hook blade cuts cardboard like hot knife on butter, no effort at all. good for old hand
@@ometofu Got a model# for one?
Dang just watched some videos on these and dang it will cut through anything.
I learn many things through folks' comments. Hook blades on utility knife works great on golf grips & cardboard. Gonna see about a hook blade for my oscillating tools. Thanks!
Will that cutter work on FRP panels?
I have not tried it on that, so I can't give an answer for you, sorry.
Omg I need an electric cutting tool!
Yes you do thay are very useful
My Ryobi Dose That When The
Battery Is Low On Power. I Might
Need To Sharpen It.
Ever try the Makita PC01R3 12V Max?
that looks like a beautiful kit but $110! that's for the serious cutting person who does this all day long.
Can I use this for Asphalt shingles?
Good question I have not tried it so I don't know I know they're very sick and tough and I had to work hard to get it to go through that vinyl floor tile which I would think would be above the same thing as shingles
But will it cut pizza by the slice? I think every lazy pizza shop owner should have one - or two! Hopefully Milwaukee or DeWalt will come out with with an 18 volt brushless pizza cutter.
LOL, I should have tried that out!
i have one, this does not cut through heavy duty cardboard you have to push hard and it gets stuck. video looks easy
The heavy cardboard I had was on the TV box, and it cut through that. Appliance boxes it can bog down in parts, which is why I cut it on the creases.
Could this cut 1/4in wood? I noticed it's not a toothed saw blade so I assume not. I'm looking for a CHEAP EASY method to cut 1 foot wide detailed decor with curved edges out of thin 1/4 inch wood squares without it splintering or snapping. Hand saw takes forever. Jig Saw requires a table but can slip via human error if not mounted (maybe upside-down?), i.e. an EXPENSIVE HEAVY DUTY table saw. Good video btw, thank you, still might buy this lol.
This will not cut 1/4" I tried to cut 1/8" wood cabinet panels that we us eon the end of a cabinet and kickplate, and it bogged down as soon as we tried. But 1/4" will not even fit into the bade guard.
I’ve been using it to cut paneling - I thought it was 1/4 inch but maybe it’s less - any way it is totally not the right tool for the job … /:
If you're going to test both of these, you should have used a new skil. If it's old, then it doesn't really allow you to compare it against the zip snip fairly.
It was not meant to be a fair apples for apples. As I mentioned numerous times in the video, my old Skil was old and worn down but it was all I had. AND you can't get them new anymore you can't find them. You need to pay attention better
@@jeffostroff www.princessauto.com/en/detail/palm-size-screwdriver-with-cutter-attachment/A-p8844573e
will it cut Re Bar?
Ha! I wish!
autofocus driving me nuts...not sure how valuable an old nag/young colt comparison is. lovely thumbnail
Yes Nikon had numerous problems with autofocus with this model and they kept issuing new firmware updates and we finally just switched over to using manual focus only when we're shooting items, and it's supposed to be pretty good at autofocusing on face recognition when it sees a human face on the screen.
Is tool getting weak or battery?
Old tool, getting week, 6 years old
I’ve been cutting 1/4 inch paneling ( poorly ) with this thing … I think I’m using the wrong tool
probably better with a mini saw
I had watched for the first 10 minutes and then there's a thought came to me: Is it worthy to continue watching? I don't get the idea about comparison between a new sharp tool and an old powerless tool. Sorry, but I really can't see the point
Then just watch it for the new tool
🍻🍺🍕
Good to see all you guys during the premier tonight!
Why would you compare tools with 1 having a dull blade?
That's not a valid comparison at all.
Just showing what I had lying around with a new tool that I brought in just a computhen just to compare the 2 it's not meant to be some scientific apples to apples comparison. But remember many of these tools have self sharpening blades
Thanks for the video. Turn off your autofocus next time
I shoot in manual now the autofocus on this nikon is the worst ever, even after 3 bios upgrades, they cannot get their problems solved
Poor comparison. Should have use 2 brand new tools.
It's all I had at the time.
Bosh Xeo is much better than those cheap toys.
Built in batteries, I just cant do them.
This Skil tool has worked 5 years on built in battery. The problem with he tool is abuse and the guard being bent out of shape, not batteries.
Usually just a few screws on the case and you are at the battery. Can google the codes on the side of it and find replacements. They are usually generic and can find them much cheaper than propriety pop in type.
Yeah ur skil tool is dull n junk.... Worx the way to go but it was funny watchin that old one try.... Lol
I would still love to score another new one, found one in Canada, they wanted $75!
ya probably not a good comparison to pit a 5 year old tool against a new one. just sayin'
it was a fair fight
Its worthless for cutting heavy cardbaord.
