What Marshalltown LVT cutter is the best?

While utility knives and power tools can get the job done, the best way to cut LVT is with a Marshalltown Magnum Shear or Magnum Soft Flooring Shear. These tools are specifically designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts quickly, efficiently without noise or dust.

Marshalltown Magnum Soft 40” LVT Flooring Shear 

One of the biggest advantages of the 40” model is its ability to cut wider boards and tiles in a single pass. 

The key benefits for the 40” LVT Flooring Shear include: Heavy-duty steel ball bearings that increase durability, adjustable fence for 45° and 90° cuts to ensure accurate angle cuts and improving accuracy with the built-in ruler and wall gauge.  

If speed, precision, and productivity are priorities, the 40” Magnum Soft Shear is one of the best ways to cut LVT professionally. 

Marshalltown Magnum Soft 30” LVT Flooring Shear 

For installers primarily working on residential projects or standard plank sizes, the 30” cutter provides excellent cutting capacity. 

No power is required for this flooring shear making it extremely portable, it can cut multiple flooring materials making it the perfect component to your tool kit and it also includes a 45° and 90° angle cut system.  

For many installers, the 30” Magnum Soft Shear strikes the perfect balance between portability and cutting capacity.  

Which Magnum Soft Shear is fit for you? 

When comparing the Marshalltown Magnum Soft 30” and 40” LVT Flooring Shears, both offer professional-quality cutting performance. The 30” model is ideal for installers working mainly on residential projects or standard plank sizes, providing a highly portable design that requires no power and can cut multiple flooring materials.  

In contrast, the 40” model is designed for maximum productivity, with the ability to cut wider boards and tiles in a single pass, reducing installation time on larger projects. It also benefits from an adjustable fence for enhanced cutting accuracy, and a built-in ruler and wall gauge for precise measurements.  

While the 30” shear offers a great balance of portability and performance, the 40” version is the preferred choice for professionals who prioritise speed, precision, and efficiency on larger-scale installations.
