Quite good
It makes the oval shape hole quite well. As I've been using it to make handle holes in double wall boxes. and it is only meant for single wall boxes, I discovered it's best to use the handle upside down so the flappy but it creates is on the bottom. If used correctly, as per the instructions, and the flap is upper most I have noticed it creates a weak point and the handle rips. However this might not be the case for single wall boxes, which is what this tool was designed for. Also the size of the hole it makes is smaller than I expected but toucan still get your hand in just about.
Hence 4 stars.Read full review

Not good for people with arthritis
The concept is great, however, I found that as an older female with osteoarthritis, I did not have the hand or arm strength to get this gadget to work on any boxes, no matter how thin the cardboard was!!!!! I watched a video, read the directions, understood the process, but it was simply a matter of strength.
So, someone needs to go back to the drawing board, and create a battery powered one for those of us who aren't that strong!Read full review

professional touch
The Box Buddy cutter tool is a great accessory for those looking to finish their packaging and ensure that bulky or awkward to handle packages are easier to carry. We often deal with packaged canvas sizes larger than 40" with heavy hardboard inner protective walls, where the Box Buddy is quick and simple (using a little force) in making handling much easier and in turn reduce the risk of accidental dropped damage. Great value for money and highly recommended.Read full review

Easy to use, effective
This seems to be the only tool available for this job. Fortunately it is easy to use and works just fine. Takes a little muscle, but otherwise it's easy to master.
At first I was disappointed that it is not intended to work on my thicker cartons, but I found that if I just use the cutter on both sides it works pretty good. On standard cartons it works perfectly.Read full review

Good product, but could make it better
Does the job nicely, but could be made better if there was some sort of leveraged action to make it easier to punch the hole. Also, we really need it for double wall boxes, and is only designed for single wall boxes.Read full review

The cats whiskers.
I had been purchasing large size boxes from a home center for years, recently they came out with a heavy duty version of the same box but this version doesn't have any handle holes in it so I wanted handle holes in my heavy-duty boxes because I have to lift them up and out of a shelf system I had so I bought one of these and it's perfect. I love it how I can put handle holes in any boxes I want including reusing boxes I get from Amazon.Read full review

You have to use to much force
Does not make a clean cut and you have to use so much force that if you misalign the blades and the forks you risk seriously injuring yourself. The only way that I have managed to get some use out of it, is to use it as an outline trace and then do the actual cutting with my Kobalt utility knife. I would not recommend this deviceRead full review

Works great if you use it correctly! Love mine!
I'm going to address the reviews that say this device stops working after a few uses. I experienced the same issue, however, it was only because I had half of the device upside down! You have to make sure that both semi-circle thumb rests on the white part are facing you as you cut the box. If one of them is upside down, then the device doesn't fully penetrate the cardboard. It's a simple design flaw but avoidable if you use it correctly. I'm so glad I bought mine. I've used it on about 30 boxes so far and except for the times I was using it wrong, it's worked as intended every time. It makes it so much easier to lift heavy and large boxes. You will have no regrets buying it.Read full review

A unique quality product
I use mine all the time. It helps reduce the strain of moving boxes of items, providing a hand hold. I liked it do much, that I bought extras for gifts to relatives.

Great find
This is a handy device for making lifting handle holes in cardboard boxes. I use this frequently. I might give these for gifts.
