Dad and Dad's to be, get yourself a rotary cutter

I used this to cut the boxes from the crib, nursing recliner, dresser, and a multitude of other boxes into pieces that fit in my recycling bin. I used to break boxes down and fold them up. Instead of having to hold boxes in the garage to add next week, it's all going out this week (I have the Ryobi because I have some of their other tools that use the USB lithium batteries).

It's also useful for cutting carpet underlay for when your wife gets a new area rug and the wrong size pad. It can cut through absolutely massive zip ties as well.
