Very durable. Review: Not at all worth it - Ugh. I can hardly believe I am writing this. I use to just use a sharp utility knife to cut the edgebanding and it worked great. But I love festool and fantasized about getting this to speed up my process. At first, I was on the fence. It did seem to cut a little easier and more flush than the utility knife but not over $200 better and it was actually slower because you have to feed the end into the cutter and that takes more time than just hitting it with a knife. Still- I kept using it to try and see if it was just me and that it really would be worth it. Today - building some cabinets for a client and got out my contouro. First cut was ok. Not bad. Not great. Ok. Then- second cut- the jaws would not close all the way. There is a cutter blade that slips past a plate. Somehow the plate moved a micron closer to the cutter blade so the blade can't slip under it. This means the jaws won't close all the way and it won't cut at all!!! If I loosen the screw holding the plate a fraction - it works again. But still not great. And then you have a lose screw. I went to return it and no joke- window closed yesterday. I am so bummed. ## Features - Cuts edge banding for flawless seams up to 2-9/16" (65mm) tall and up to 2mm thick (depending on material) - Cuts right and left sides as well as circular edging applications - Made in Czech Republic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I8XQB2M | | Best Sellers Rank | #392,104 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #848 in Edge Treatment & Grooving Router Bits | | Blade Length | 65 Millimeters | | Blade Material | High speed steel | | Brand Name | Festool | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (16) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04014549206584 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | 1 Edge Banding Trimmer | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Tooltechnic Systems LLC | | UPC | 784497050365 | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 65 Millimeters - **Blade Material:** High speed steel - **Brand:** Festool - **Color:** Multicolor - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04014549206584 - **Handle Material:** Plastic - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Tooltechnic Systems LLC - **UPC:** 784497050365 ## Images ![Festool 499896 Edge Banding Trimmer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51q-gWLyzzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great trimmer! *by B***M on March 8, 2025* Bought one for my shop, I’ve been using one for years.
