Cutting insulation cleanly used to be like cutting your airline chicken dinner with a TSA-approved knife. . . not fun, not effective. I recently had a small insulation install that included cutting angles in the insulation batts. I decided to give Cepco Tools’ Insul-knife a shot. Insul-knife is designed to cut sponge foam, insulation batts, and pipe insulation. It can also be used to trim insulation around doors and windows. I used a scrap of plywood to compress the batt before cleanly cutting through the insulation. Worked like a charm, with nice, smooth cuts. Beware, the blade is sharp and the manufacturer recommends gloves be worn when handling the tool. I ordered mine from the friendly folks at SoundAway.com for about $35. More details also available at Cepco Tools.

About Marc Lyman

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine!
