What Customers Are Saying

The utility knife has a durable metal construction and a bright color for easy visibility. Changing the blades is generally straightforward with a quick-change button and spare blades stored in the handle. However, some users struggled with inserting the initial blade and reassembling the knife after blade changes, leading to frustration. The blade retraction/extension mechanism can also be unreliable for some. Overall, the product has mixed reviews, with both positive and negative experiences reported by customers.

Assemble Before Project

Would Recommend

I'm a lady working in a warehouse, and I wanted a snazzy box cutter. I tried to assemble the tool on the job. I had to get a delivery truck driver to unscrew it. Then, I ended up waiting until a 15 minute break and still didn't get to put the box cutter back together. I took my time at home and put it back together after trial and error. I wanted to have picture instructions. I wanted to resort to the internet for a video, but didn't do either. The storage feature, color, "Made In the USA," a...

Not what I hoped for

Would Not Recommend

I like Craftsman products, but this tool is poorly designed. It took forever to put the blade in and realign the pins and slots. I give 2 stars because it feels good in my hand and has 6 retractable positions. Hope it is a long time until next blade change.

Hard to change blade

Would Not Recommend

It’s too complicated to change the blade. I’m experienced with retractable blades, but this one is ridiculously frustrating to get back together. It should be quick and easy and safe.

Blade Storage Over Engineered

This utility knife works as described. However, I found the blade storage compartment a nuisance and a little unnecessary. It makes it much harder to reassemble after changing out the blades and the convenience factor isn't there as you could have just stored the blades in the handle without a flip down compartment. As I don't need to change blades all that frequently, not enough for me to return or give away, but definitely something I wouldn't purchase again.

Less than garbage

Im 48 years old and have dozens of tools. In my entire lifetime I've never seen a more cumbersome or poorly designed product. Do not buy this under any set of circumstances. It's not worth it even if it's free . Also comes with no instructions or diagram.
