This is the type of tutorial we need for everything! No promoting, no bs, just pure advice and kindness, thank you

Thank you man, I'm sure this is common knowledge to others but it's my first time using these types of blades and was struggling to understand how to do it. Cheers!

I just watched two other videos telling me to use pliers, and here you come show me the right way. Thank you.

My wife came up to me just now to do this for her. I had no idea these were a thing. And then I hear this wonderful accent.

I didn't even realise the blades snapped off - I thought the lines were decorative!!! The information in this video has transformed my life, haha.

Thank you. This video still giving out help! I’m 48 and didnt know.

Thank you for this. I've had the same box cutter for a couple of years now and I know the blade was supposed to snap off but I never could get it to. I was just going to keep using it until it wouldn't cut anymore and it was about to that point. I had no idea the end had that groove in it but it did the trick.

WOW.. I am so embarrassed to say I didn't know this is how it worked. I was going about this all kinds of wrong. Thank you for posting this video (even if it was 7 years ago!).

THANK YOU! My inability to understand hand tools is truly an accomplishment. I appreciate you sharing this information.

Omg thank you, I was struggling way too hard trying to figure this out it's kind of embarrassing, but at least I have the knowledge now.

Well my life just became exponentially easier. Thank you.

Well i never knew that, originally i thought the part you take off to snap the blade was the knives front end where the blade came out, it hurt when the blade came out the other end into the palm of my hand, oh well you learn something everyday, thank you.

Never knew this until today 😅 Just bought a boxcutter and saw you're supposed to extend only one section out while using it written on the back of the box. I wondered why there are sections and here I am

Thankyou - nearly lost a finger and thought i'd better watch a youtube video first, simple and easy

Omg thank you so much! I've been searching for my pliers for a week 🤣

thanks!! i had no idea there was this little thing on the bottom to snap it off easily :)

Thank you so much I thought maybe the grooves we're to snap off a piece wasn't sure tho but the plastic piece in the end I had no clue about thanks for the video

I've been using such hobby knives for years and never knew the trick! Until your video, I've been using a needle nose pliers! (silly me!) ;) Cheers, mate!

Thanks for the advise, typically I seem to have the only blade in production that doesn't have this slot. But thanks anyway I'm sure it will come in useful in the future 😊

Thank you, I knew there was a way, I seen it once being done but I couldn't remember, child hood memories of watching my father work

Mine doesn’t have a cap on the back 😬

i have had one of these forever i didnt know you could do this now i will have it forever even more! (and without a dull blade this time)

OMG It's so simple and handy. Why I didn't know it before.

This is genius. I’ve been using these knives for long time and never knew this.

Wow how did I not know this!? Great video, thanks

Thank you SO MUCH!!! All these years I've been snapping them off with pliers, and doing a TERRIBLE job lol

Quick, concise and helpful

That was really helpful info that no one tells you!

Been wondering that for 2 years. Many thanks.

Thank you so much, it's been my problem until now🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

I feel dumb now. This was helpful and didn't waste my time. Thanks for that.

Thanks bro. Legendary stuff

You just changed my life...thanks, sir!

Top banana! This solved a question I had yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

This was so helpful, thank you!

I did NOT know this! Thank you!!!

Couldn't figure it out all day and see this simpe explanation. Thanks! Where were you yesterday? :)

works on my Scotch branded snap-blade knife. Had no idea thats what that was for!

This is amazing! Never knew this. THANK YOU!

I knew there was something I was missing cheers dude

I was struggling so much, I even thought that maybe my blade couldn't do that. Since it's a cheap one I thought maybe it just had the lines for decoration. I feel so dumb realising how easy it is

HOLY SHIT I WASTED SO MANY BLADES CAUSE THE TIPP WAS DULL.... OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

wow, simple! Thank you!

you are amazing thank you so much for teaching me this

Thank you!!! You just potentially saved my fingers lol

Thanks!!!! I never knew this!

I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks!

My knife has a cap with a notch in the back but I CANNOT take it off

Still helping people in 2024❤

Mind blown!

This video was 7 years ago. The new snap off blades no longer have that little slot at the back. To save cost I guess

Very helpful 👍

Thank you for sharing!!

Great video, thank you!

this helped so much thank you!!

Thanks! Very helpful.

I carefully used a hammer to break it on a tiny edge lol, this is way easier. Thanks.

And always snap the blade facing away from you, not towards your eye. 😉

Great always wondered how this was done. 😊

Ahh ty! I use these all the time but had no idea lol!

Thank you for sharing sir❤
