Review: Great tool, sharp clean cuts - Easy to use, clean cuts. Extra blades in the handle are very convenient. Great quality tool. As sharp as you would expect from a razor blade anvil. Review: Great for doing leaded glass - Great tool for lead came. I got the smaller one as this one is a bit large for my hands but kept it as well. ## Features - A CUT ABOVE SCISSORS: The Ronan Multi-Cut 401 has a different mechanical action than scissors, which are limited to cutting paper, fabric and thin plastic sheets. This tool’s razor sharp 4 inch blade comes down onto a flat anvil, and its offset pivot point allows you to cut thick, rigid and dense materials. - MAKES THE CUT: The patented design can be used for industrial and DIY purposes to cut plastic, linoleum, shrubs, thick leather, all types of hoses, auto belts, PEX pipes, wood dowels, boxes, branches, plants, plastic, ropes and more. - CLEAN CUT: Its high impact plastic anvil prevents splintering and fraying of the material you're cutting. It’s resistant to rust and corrosion. Steel razor blades will last about 18 months each and package comes included with 3 extra replacement blades which are simple to switch out. - CUT YOURSELF A BREAK: Cutter has a molded ergonomic grip handle for both small and large hands for maximum comfort and to lessen fatigue. The offset pivot point gives you extra leverage, making difficult items easy to cut. It also has a safety lock to ensure it stays closed when not in use. - 3 EXTRA BLADES INCLUDED - SUPPORTED CUTS: PEX/plastic tubing, rope, leather, soft trim/linoleum, light pruning, wood dowels. NOT FOR: thick metal (coins, nails/bolts), hard PVC, very hard materials. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DWRYA7Q | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,608 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #23 in Scissors & Shears | | Color | Multicolor, Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,112) | | Date First Available | April 6, 2016 | | Handle Material | Wood,Plastic,Rubber,Steel | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.19 pounds | | Item model number | 401 | | Manufacturer | Ronan | | Material | Steel | | Part Number | 401 | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 6.5 x 1 inches | | Style | Simple | ## Images ![Ronan Multi-Cut 401 Cutting Tool - For Soft Wood, Cardboard, Plastic, Rope, Leather & DIY Materials – Not for Hardwood or Compressed Wood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EZS-BVAiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it cut through wood cleanly?** A: Yes, it handles wood dowels and light branches cleanly. The offset pivot design gives you the leverage needed for dense materials that would jam regular scissors or shears. **Q: How difficult is it to change the blades?** A: Takes about 10 seconds. No screwdrivers or special tools needed - the blade release is built right into the design. Three spare blades are included. **Q: Will it cut thick rope without fraying the ends?** A: Yes. The high-impact anvil supports the material while the razor-sharp blade slices through, preventing the fraying and rough edges you'd get with dull scissors. **Q: What materials should I avoid cutting with this?** A: Don't use it on thick metal objects like coins or bolts, hard PVC pipe, or extremely hard materials. It's designed for moderate-density materials like plastic tubing, leather, rope, and wood. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool, sharp clean cuts *by A***E on February 22, 2026* Easy to use, clean cuts.

These things rock. *by P***S on August 13, 2025* I’m on my 3rd or 4th pair, not because they are bad, because I lost them doing road service. I read that some people have an issue with them cutting “small branches” and metal wire. If you’re bending them, you are misusing them, if you are chipping the blades then they are doing the job but of course you’re chipping the blade cutting wire, it’s a razor blade!. I have never bent a pair but I have chipped the blades. I cut a lot of automotive wire and cables. 1/0 wire and down, 7 way trailer cable, airbrake tubing (the best), radiator hoses. I have used them for pruning trees but not small branches, that’s why I have pruners. As amazing as these are they have limitations. I’ve had a couple of different brands from blue point to this brand (I’m buying another pair today) and they seem to be all the same with a different branded handle and anvil. I have used these with the same blade for a long time. Even with some chips in the blade they cut clean with ease. Do not hesitate to buy these and if you abuse them to the point you are bending them don’t blame the tool. Buy the right tool for the job. These things do work, I am a craftsman who does many things, mechanics, welding, fabrication, interior work, wood working, landscaping automotive and home electrical, fiberglass work…. I always seem to find a use for these without issue. Would I cut a 1” or bigger branch? No. But they will cut through a 1” branch. Will it cut a hundred “small branches? Probably not. Buy pruners. Even with the blade chipped up it still cuts nylon airbrake tubing clean and square for those quick connect fittings. Don’t listen to a light duty DIY’er who doesn’t understand tools. I have 10’s of thousands of dollars in tools and equipment. These are the real deal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ronan Multi-Cut 401 Cutting Tool - Wood, Box, Branch, Plant, Plastic, Rope, Leather, Linoleum, Rubber Cutter, DIY Utility All Purpose Multi-Cutting Device - Ronan Multi-Cut Replacement Blades & Anvil for Ronan Multi-Cut 401 - Ronan Multi-Cut Rubber Cutter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/80089457-ronan-multi-cut-401-cutting-tool-for-soft-wood-cardboard](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/80089457-ronan-multi-cut-401-cutting-tool-for-soft-wood-cardboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
