Wish I'd gotten this months ago:
We've been insulating with a lot of foam board, and utility knives were annoying because they just weren't long enough. This cuts through stuff very easily. The only draw back is that it needs to be sharpened pretty often. This isn't a big deal, but it doesn't tell you this, and when you suddenly are having real trouble w/ the foam, it didn't quickly occur to me to pull out the sharpener. I'd get a little one and keep it near.
Great concept, poor results:

Takes this tool to cut the cotton insulation:
A regular saw did not work on the cotton. This tool was needed.
AWESOME for FIBERGLASS; GOOD for ULTRA TOUCH:
I bought the CEPCO Tool IK-10 Insul-Knife and the AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener. Unlike some other reviewers, mine came sharp out of the box. This thing cuts like a hot knife through butter on R30 (yes, R30) fiberglass insulation. Perfect for trimming expanding foam too! This knife is amazing!! I'd rank it up there along with a Sawzall, Visegrips and duct tape! I originally bought it to cut through Ultra Touch Cotton Insulation. I wasn't as impressed cutting R13 Ultra Touch. I had to saw back and... more info
