I suggest you invest in the Skil 12v version instead. Dewalt and Makita 12v is dead. No future for it.

The Skil 12V (tool&battery) seems to be sold out a lot of places

I think this is likely because Project Farm did a comparison on these and the Skil took first place. Makita sadly was middle of the pack, but best at cutting cardboard

I had the skil 12v ordered from Acme tools a couple months back and they sent the following email:"Hello, Thank you for contacting Acme Tools. We have received information from Chervon-Skilsaw that the ES4651A-00 has been discontinued and there are no replacement options available. As a result, we have had to cancel your order. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."So it seems Chervon discontinued the product immediately prior to project farm dropping their video which boosted it's sales. Inconvenient timing! Ive got a ton of cardboard i want to mulch but I guess I'll just use razorblades, not buying into makita just for this.

If you have to cut a whole lot of cardboard, I suggest using a small 12V reciprocal saw (or whatever you have invested) with a 6" blade. You can cut it more quickly and efficiently than this tool. Also, it doesn't care how thick the cardboard is.

I bought the Skil one for two reasons:
1. An excuse to invest in skill 12V
2. Cut plastic packaging

I have this. I picked it up bare tool for ~$60 ~5 years ago. I'm not worried about it being discontinued, because I expect it to continue working for years. Most materials are better cut with a knife, or scissors, or snips, or an olfa-style rotary cutter, but these things do let me cut carpet with a great deal of control and very little fuss. Everything else, I can get straighter lines with a knife, but for carpet, this multi-cutter is the jam. And when it jams, because it's not all that powerful, I just back up and re-enter the cut.

It's a silly little tool. I mostly use it to open plastic packaging. I bet the Bosch 12v cutter has more torque under load, because most of my Bosch tools, particularly the 12v, are better geared to not bog down than my Makita tools. I also am not about to spend $100 or more on another version of this unimportant tool.

Well, that sucks.
I was late to the game.
The Skil was sold out when I went to Amazon, but it showed back up a couple days later, so I jumped on it.
Took over a month to arrive but it made it.
It works so much better than a box cutter on cardboard.
I'm cutting it up in strips, and then feeding it through a wood chipper for mulching.

The Skil website:
https://www.skil.com/pwrcore-12v-...s4651a-10/

Lists this as a "Where to buy" :
Skil PWR CORE 12 12V Multi-Cutter Kit ES4651A-10 [beavertools.com]
$89.99
I paid $79.99 via Amazon.

Kit includes the 12V multi-cutter, 12V 2.0Ah battery, and charger.

Maybe they have stock?

No, unfortunately.
