Anyone bought this? As the proud owner of 8 wipers it seems like a good idea, if it works!

I've seen articles on these too. Can't remember if it's the same one but serves the same purpose. Be interested too, think I saw them on Amazon. Someone on here must have one!

I’d add them to the snake oil product pool
Wiper rubber ages and most of mine fail with tears where they flex at the ends
Trying to cut another perfect edge is a waste of time

Clean the blade and screen and if it smears then buy a new one for a few ££’s

I’ve recently bought one of these but haven’t used it yet, with the cost of decent blades easily going over £25 I thought it was worth a punt :?

Mixed reviews on Amazon...

Not sure how much they normally cost, but it would have to be £10 max for me to take a punt. But then I don't have 8 wiper blades and my Z is a garage queen :D

It sounded like a good idea at the time, maybe I got suckered in! :oops:

I know someone who tried one and said if you don’t get a good clean sweep with the cutter it buggers your wiper up.
I just bought these.

Michelin Aero twin wipers are about £6 each plus vat in Costco, sometimes even less...

It works initially but doesn't last long. The second cut leaves it smeary as it's too thick by that stage.

Don't bother...

I bought this gadget a few weeks back, thought worth a punt

Pretty rubbish and I binned it, along with wipers I tried it on!

First wiper just about got through, though the last inch or two went all grabby and just created a serrated edge. second wiper was rough all the way along.

Drove to Halfords and picked up a new set and chalked it up to fallling for internet marketing :cry:
