Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN Green HI-VIS Quick Change 3/4-in 3 -Blade Retractable Utility Knife with On Tool Blade Storage

Blade insertion instructions

Like many, I struggled getting the blade inserted. I’ve owned others so I knew to press the button to the full position. I even guessed the little button on the side was a catch. What I didn’t know was that it requires a shake-shake-shake to get the balde to settle into the mechanism to be able to lock in place and retract. Found that on a review at another website.

What you would expect

Exactly what you would expect from a craftsman utility knife.

Poor quality

Can not put in blade. no instructions anywhere how too, even though it states there is on the website. LIE. No more Craftsman for me.

Craftsman Quick Change Utility Knife

The Craftsman Quick Change Utility Knife is anything but quick change. No instructions. Thanks to James2222 I was able to load the blade. It still was not easy to do. James2222's instructions kept me from returning the knife.

Slice and Dice

Sharp, visible, dangerous. I like this product because it makes me feel safe. Sometimes I don’t feel safe. Then I reach and my pocket and feel him there. In the end, the moving boxes were no match for him.

Good tool

easy blade change

Retractable Utility knife

If it wasn’t for James2222 instructions on blade change I would still be trying to insert blade. Very frustrating experience.

CANT GET INITIAL BLADE INTO DEVICE!!!

Feels great, has great color for around the house, blades appear useful for all kinds of cutting when scissors cant cut it! HOWEVER, BUT, WATCHOUT package says to go to THIS VERY WEBSITE for instructions and THERE IS NO MANUAL to load the 1st blade SAFELY,...AND....I want to use it now. BUT.....its a NO GO!!!

They Work

I like most Craftsman tools (have been a fan for decades), but this metal retractable utility knife could be better. Extending and retracting the blade is not smooth/effortless; changing the blade is somewhat annoying and sloppy to put back together. There are no instructions, not that I needed them, but maybe there is a less annoying way to line up/put the 2 sides back together while keeping the inside parts in place and secure the screw. I wanted a couple extra retractable utility knives in co...

This is so confusing

I removed the knife from the package and took screw out and it fell apart! I bought it because it's a Craftsman and usually great products, but this breaks my heart. I cannot put it back together correctly and will try to get someone to help, but I think I just wasted my money. If there are instructions please let me know because it's probably too late to return.

Love these

Easy to change blades, and easy to find on the job site. And great value.

Awesome directions James222

After about 10 minutes of frustration, reading James222 suggestions - I have succeeded and demonstrated several times to the wife who really likes it. Being old and weak fingers does not help, but the little trick of the wiggle and the shake - then the pull to "click" really does work. Thanks.

Works great. Here is the blade change instruction.

At first, I had trouble trying to insert the blade and getting the knife to retract and extend it, but I eventually figured out how to do that very easily. For those who are having trouble, here is the blade change instruction: 1. Make sure the blade retract/extend button is pushed all the way out to the full extend position. 2. While pressing the black button that is located on one side near the blade opening, insert the blade into the opening. Make sure it goes all the way in so that the o...
