I rented a Roberts Professional Laminate cutter from Home Depot and also ordered this product from Amazon because I wasn't confident the EAB Tool would actually work. I tested both of them and then immediately returned the Roberts rental tool because the EAB Tool was as good as the rental tool at cutting vinyl plank and actually easier for me to maneuver around the work space, since it's far lighter.The tool was super easy to set up and use. The cuts were crisp and easy to make. I highly recommend a light directed onto the blade cutting area that does not cast shadows on top of the tool so that you can easily see where the blade is contacting the plank for the cut. I didn't use the ruler on the end of the tool to make straight cuts but rather measured the boards each time as needed and made a simple pencil mark on the plank and lined it up under the blade. I had to measure the length for the end boards on the floor anyway to make the proper cuts as I finished a row, so I wasn't wasting any time by omitting the use of the tool's ruler.This tool is a consumer tool, not a pro tool, so you should not expected it to do large volumes of cuts. Plus, I don't think the blade is replaceable, like some brands, although it does come with a sharpener stone, which I didn't even need during a 300 sq. ft. basement job.For those of you having the thicker wood-based planks, I don't think this tool will meet your needs due to the additional force needed to cut such boards. Vinyl planks cut like butter with this tool, but I am certain it would be frustrating to cut those thicker wood boards, even if you added a pipe on the end of the handle to gain more leverage. The platform is plastic and is very light weight, unlike a pro tool like the Roberts tool, and I doubt it be sturdy enough to sustain the forces needed on those thicker boards.But for vinyl planking, this tool is excellent.
