Good afternoon everyone. Between my wife and I, we do a lot of online shopping and end up with a lot of cardboard boxes. We have a small recycle trash can at home, so it was pretty easy to fill up the recycle trash can with cardboard boxes and other recyclable items. I started using a sharp box cutter knife to break down the cardboard boxes into smaller pieces, so I could fit more cardboard in our recycle trash can. Bending over to cut the cardboard into small pieces would start to hurt my back after several minutes and I had to be careful with the sharp box cutter not to cut myself.
Last year, Laura saw an ad online for this ZipSnip cardboard box cutter and bought it on Amazon (affiliate link). I was skeptical and reluctant to use it at first since I thought my old method was superior (minus the back pain and fear of cutting myself), but after using it for a few minutes, I could tell that this was a huge improvement. The blade is sharp and cuts through cardboard very easily and I don’t need to bend down to cut the cardboard into small pieces. Here are some photos of the ZipSnip and the smaller cardboard box pieces.
