Kevin Report post Posted July 29, 2012 Yes, that is a plough gauge for cutting straps. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shtoink Report post Posted July 29, 2012 That thing looks awesome and a great deal more finger friendly than some of the wooden ones I have seen, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlapaglia Report post Posted July 29, 2012 This one is different as you push the blade instead of pull it. I always wanted to try one. It looks like it might be easier than the wooden pull ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Craw Report post Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Hey Mike! I always sort of figured I'd do better pushing a strap cutter than I have pulling it. I'm glad to hear that it is working well for you. Just remember, like a round knife, left hand BEHIND the blade Mike OK, why the hell don't you ever see dumb spelling mistakes until AFTER you hit "Post Reply"???
