Found this product in a Checkers automotve parts store in Hawaii! Problem was that I had to buy two cutters, one small and one large, for $19.95.

See Auto parts at: http://www.motortraders.com/auto-tools-page3.htm

: Hi All

: A while back I purchased a cutZall tool especially for cutting strips for my
: current kayak project. I had been using anvil type pruning cutter, but the
: cutZall gave me almost 4" of cut as opposed to about 2" for the
: pruning cutter. I don't know if this particular tool has been discussed
: previously, but after using it extensively for both cutting strips to
: length, as well as making diagonal cuts to fit the strips into the hull or
: deck, I can endorse it as a MUST-HAVE-TOOL for me.

: It costs about $10
: It makes extremely clean cuts, with virtually no crushing
: It can be used one handed as opposed to a saw
: Longer diagonal cuts can be made along a strip by cutting in from each side
: I've cut pine,cedar,walnut,and oak strips (1/4 x 3/4) with equal ease

: I don't know of a reliable source, I got this one at a local True-Value
: Hardware and haven't seen one since.

Does this use a rachet cutting device? *NM*
