Product description
Using scissors to cut through tough stuff like plastic packaging is no fun, especially when you suffer from hands that fatigue quickly. Not only was the ZipSnip Cutting Tool designed to do all the jobs that scissors can’t, but it also makes everyday cutting jobs that much easier. Its self-sharpening blade slices right through cardboard, so it’s an excellent tool for taking out the recyclables. It even glides through rubber and leather, so it’s an indispensable implement for crafting and/or DIY projects. It’s precise, much more so than scissors, and has a lot more power behind it than a utility knife. It’s perfect for opening heavy bags like pet food, seed, or fertilizer without spilling because you don’t need a lot of motion to use it, like with knives and scissors. It has a soft grip, so it’s comfortable to use, and the compact design only weighs 1 pound. The lockout switch prevents accidental starts. And it’ll hold a charge for months, so you can keep it in a kitchen drawer and it’ll be ready to go whenever you need it. A charger is included, so you can refill the 4v battery whenever the on-board charge light lets you know it’s time. And it’s great for outdoor use— keep one in the garage or shed and use it for detailed landscaping. The rake was a handy tool until the leaf blower came along. And scissors were nice before the invention of the ZipSnip. Give your hands a break, get a ZipSnip. Status indicator lets you know when the battery is fully charged.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cut Above: My Experience with WORX WX082L 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors
Verified PurchaseRunning a dynamic company that spans from intricate jewelry making to the broad strokes of 3D design and sublimation, efficiency and precision are paramount in my daily operations. The WORX WX082L 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors have become an indispensable tool in my studio, transforming tasks that were once tedious into effortless achievements.
From the first time I used the ZipSnip, its utility was immediately apparent. Cutting through materials has never been smoother or more accurate, whether I'm trimming 3D printed models, slicing through wax sheets for carving, or cutting fabrics for sublimation printing. The electric scissors are powerful enough to handle a variety of materials with ease, yet precise enough to ensure clean, straight cuts every time.
The cordless design of the ZipSnip is a game-changer, offering unparalleled flexibility and freedom of movement around my studio. I'm no longer tethered to a power outlet, allowing me to work on projects anywhere, whether at my workbench, by the laser engraver, or in the streaming setup. The battery life is impressive, sustaining long periods of work without needing a recharge, which is crucial for maintaining productivity during busy days.
Ergonomically, the ZipSnip is a dream. Its design fits comfortably in my hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. This aspect is particularly important when working on detailed projects that require a steady hand. The safety lock is another feature I appreciate, providing peace of mind that the tool won't accidentally activate when not in use.
Moreover, the ZipSnip has elevated the quality of my work. The precision cuts contribute to the overall aesthetics and functionality of my creations, enhancing the craftsmanship that my clients expect. It's also proved invaluable in preparing materials for workshops and demonstrations, where time is of the essence, and precision is non-negotiable.
Integrating the WORX WX082L 4V ZipSnip Cordless Electric Scissors into my toolset has been a transformative experience. It exemplifies how the right tool can streamline workflows, improve product quality, and even inspire new creative possibilities. For fellow artisans, crafters, and creators seeking to enhance their craft with efficiency and precision, I wholeheartedly recommend the ZipSnip. It's not just a tool; it's an extension of your creative potential.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2025Verified PurchaseI purchased these after recommendations online for a similar product and not they're a life changer! These easily cut through all sorts of card board, plastic and anything else, making breaking down boxes for recycling a breeze, opening packaging easy, and even work perfect for cutting carpet and fabric. Great for all those things you'd wear your hands out doing before, and no soreness afterwards.
The blade is self sharpening and holds an edge well, it uses a standard barrel jack plug included for charging and is a good and sturdy material that'll last a long time.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 9, 2023Verified PurchaseI thought all of these little cutters were made by the same company with slight variations. But having tried 3, it appears they might be based on the same design but have different innards.
This Worx version is one of the better ones but not the best. It charges through mini-USB and is finicky : it won’t take a charge from all USB cables or wall chargers.
It cuts well and lasts decently long to cut a bunch of cardboard boxes.
But having also tried the similar 4 volt Ryobi version, I realize this Worx is underpowered. The Ryobi cuts better and faster. The Black and Decker is similar to the Worx (assuming you get one that actually works; the first Black & Decker I received would stall as soon you’d rated cutting)
Overall the Worx is good, but not the best.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 9, 2023Verified PurchaseI've been looking for a very long time for a box cutter tool that could be recharged, hand held, reliable and most of all easy to use. This Zip Snip checks all the boxes. I have to say I am impressed. On one charge, I managed to reduce 53 medium size moving boxes (ie the size of 2 banker boxes merged together) plus 2 extra large boxes (ie 4 banker boxes merged together) to pieces the size of a table coaster in order to place them into our recycling bins. This tool slices through the boxes like butter and has a ergonomic handle so that it doesn't stress your arms or hands while using it. I'm ambidextrous (can use both both my right and left hand) and found that I could use the tool with both hands no problem. I appreciate the safety switch you have to push use when holding the trigger down to use the tool. This Zip Snip tool is also great for making random shapes out of cardboard such as animal ears, circles, triangles, cardboard houses etc as the rotating blades permits you to make smooth curves as well as lines.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2024Verified PurchaseI recently purchased a product with an exceptionally sharp blade, which has proved to be highly effective in cutting through larger pieces of cardboard. The device is quite versatile and has been an essential tool for me when working on various projects or tasks at home.
While the battery life could potentially be improved, I remain pleased with the overall performance and reliability of this product. It has consistently met my expectations and exceeded them in terms of its cutting capabilities. If you're searching for a dependable solution that offers both sharpness and versatility, this item is definitely worth considering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product that is useful....
Verified PurchaseThis is a product which works perfectly as promised. The durability is exceptional. I am already using a rotary tool purchsed from Worx company and found the product highly satisfactory. The availability of extra blades for this cutter at a reasonable price is essential. Otherwise, the product may last only till its blade becomes blunt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worx 4v ZipSnip Rechargeable Scissors
Verified PurchaseDISLIKES: Recharge time, to recharge after a good usage of the tool requires 5 hours to a full charge before you can get working again, that is with the default adapter{charger) that comes with it, which is 6V 400mA.
This also depends on the amperage of your charger, I have found chargers with a 2Amp up to 5Amp charge things faster, and can cut your recharge cycle down quite a bit, 2 Amp usually about 2-1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, a 5 Amp charger can reduce this down to anywhere from 30 minutes, to not usually more than 2 hours{if that} for a full recharge. I have numerous adapters with a wide variety of voltages and ratings, always USE a charger/adapter with the correct voltage, in this case 6V, but the amperage is what makes the difference in how fast it will recharge.
LIKES:
Rechargeable, cuts through many different materials smoothly and easily. Self Sharpening blade, so longer use of the cutting blade before having to possibly replace the circular blade.
I wouldn't actually call this tool electric scissors, it's more like a sub-miniature hand-held circular saw. I purchased this tool initially for cutting out old carpeting from my home, it cuts through the carpet like a hot knife would cut through a stick of butter.
Not only that, but I have also used this tool to cut down my Amazon Delivery boxes for easy removal, some boxes that may have a very thick form, it will cut them, but it's a little harder to get the tool through those, but most standard boxes, it makes short work of them, cutting them down to small square sections in less time than it does to break them down by hand and cut them down with a standard pair of scissor.
My wife cut down a box of the same size using scissors, and I was using the tool, I had completed the complete cut-down of my box, same exact size as here, in less than 5 minutes, while she was still struggling to get her box cut down to size for the trash bag, her box was still over 70% intact, I cut down various size boxes, a total of 15 boxes from medium to very large, in the time it took her to cut down the one box she was working on.
I have used the tool to cut Coroplast, thin plexiglass, this plastic sheeting, and very thin wood molding for interior door frames, when the tool started slowing down and cutting became more difficult, I knew it was either time to recharge the tool, or sometimes just hold the tool, not cutting anything, hold in the safety button in and power button, to allow the tool to run with no cutting, this will resharpen the blade, and if the tool still has enough of a charge, continue cutting until it bogs down, then a simple recharge takes care of that.
Just about anything you cut with a pair of sharp scissors, this tool would probably cut as well.
Yes, I can recommend this tool, it's a great tool to have in your arsenal of home improvement and cleanup tools. It will definitely help you get the job down much faster than a manual cutting tool for many different materials, which makes it an indispensable, versatile, and worthy tool to have.
