I got this when it came out and it's fantastic. The spine comes in handy when you need to cut anything thick, I use it a lot for carpet pad. The other snap-off blade I use is yellowtools, it has a built in pencil sharpener. Great for big graphics jobs where I use a stabila wax pencil for alignment marks.

I previously worked at Home Depot and they had rule that you have to use their company blade (a really budget self retracting blade and only the tip stuck out of the housing). I always thought it was interesting that they expected us to sell circular saw and other dangerous tools and operate forklifts and other machinery, but by god, having a usable blade that extends more than a 1/4" out of the housing was somehow too dangerous for use to be trusted with.

Thanks for the video. I think I'm literally the only person on the planet who really likes that big Dewalt utility knife, other than the guys who designed it - I like it because the added spine to edge depth of the blade gives it more stability than any other knife until Knipex added the spine support. I have to say that although I think the spine support is a brilliant innovation, I think the blade release is *horrible.* The little plastic button on the back doesn't adequately depress the blade release stud, so the only safe ways to change the blade is to use pliers or disassemble(!) the knife. I agree about the possibility of the retention tabs on the blade tray being a potential weak point, but modern plastics can provide truly amazing service so fingers crossed on that. BTW/FWIW, having disassembled the knife, I will say that the front of the knife is rock-solid. There are two doglegs on the top that slide into cutouts in the bottom. If you drop a Cutix from the top of a tower one or both of them might break off when the knife hits the concrete pad but otherwise I think the front end is bullet-proof.

These are pretty much the norm among tradesmen in my country, oh and you don't need a pair of plier to snap the blade. Extend the blade 1-1.5 blade segments, put the top edge (not the spine of the blade) against a surface you don't mind marring, lean the knife over by 45 degrees, put your thumb on the blade segment so it doesn't go flying. And push the knife handle straight down (no pushing with your thumb) if you find you gotta use a lot of force try snapping it in the other direction.

My house is full of OLFA knives. A must for Graphic design/Photography but spreading everywhere. Smaller versions which have the click blade lock and big ones with the blades as shown. But not with a click lock but a fixing turn knob which is much better. Sometime while cutting the blade stick more in the material and you pull the blade out with a click lock system. I like the flexibility of the blades. By bending the blade one can easy flushcut plugs in walls or wood paneling. So with a narrow design handle one does not have to bent the blade so far. I got most of these OLFA's in the late 80ties, at study and still they are doing great and are still used a couple of times a week.

Since you asked, these breakoff utility knives or stanley type blades have not been allowed in my toolbag for many years. They are the #1 source of unneccesary injury IMO. For the heavy duty stuff as well as opening boxes, cutting straps and whatnot, there is the 7in1. An oldschool pocket knife is still perfect for cutting regular stuff - no swiss cheese gadget but a classic wood and forged steel folding knife. Soft stuff like foam, mats, carpet etc. gets handled by the insanely sharp and indestructible 7" ceramic non-stick titanium chef‘s knife from the knockoff store. With heavy gloves on.

I looked it up on Amazon Germany and it's 16€ at the moment, magnisium housing (as you mentioned) and aluminium inside. The product specs say "Knipex Quality - Made in Germany", so I guess it's actually made in Germany (?) I've read some comments saying it's made in Spain, but I think it would be illegal to just write "Made in X" on the packaging/advertisment. So either they changed their manufacturing to produce entirely in Germany (which I doubt) or maybe they buy the magnesium cases in Spain and produce the other stuff and assemble + quality control in Germany to have enough of the production in Germany to be able to call it "Made in Germany".

I had the dewalt, the Olfa, and recently bought the knipex. The dewalt was sloppy, the back clip falls out easily, no blade storage and the throat was way too wide so I had to pinch it closed with pliers so the blade would stop wobbling on the cuts. The olfa was a better option but no where near as good as the knipex. The spine on the knipex is great when your cutting with the blade extend (like you would went cutting Owen Corning foam board). It does a great job of not letting the blade flex in the cut. You didn’t mention the best thing about the knipex tho in this review-the blade doesn’t get pulled out when cutting Sheetrock.

I see this breaking quickly with extended usage as the replacement blades are in contact with the plastic. Second of all, the button to unlock and replace the blades is quite difficult to use. And it doesn't seem to accept all 18mm blades, I have quite a few of them this cutter rejects (because the hole position varies by +-1mm) whereas pretty much every other cutter in my possession accepts them no problem.

More of a bench knife than a site knife, given both the blade change system (which is going to quickly clog up) and the weak push-pull blade locking system. You need a positive thumb operated screw lock for safe and practical site use whereas the push-pull system is ideal for inwards/outwards goods and retail counter use. The slide out blade stiffener is an excellent idea for bench work.

When this first came out i thought it was gimmicky. I also (not sure why) assumed the case was plastic. I am afraid I will be picking one of these up. I also have that heavy duty Dewalt. The slider thingie on mine has come off a couple of times.

There is nothing gimmicky, with any Knipex tools. They are one of the BEST, if not the best Tools company in the world. I don't know any prodessional Electritian, Plumber, Car mechanic, Maintenance teams of any kind, that not only doesn't use Knipex tools, but usually 80-90% of their tools are Knipex. Only negative with tht brand, is the addiction it causes, after you get your first Knipex. So, whoever reads this, and hasn't had used one yet, you've been warned!

@@greekveteran2715 I have their new auto wire strippers. I guess you are right about them not being gimmicky. They just refuse to strip wire. Don't be a fan boy to any company. All my other Knipex tools are great but this way overpriced stripper is junk.

@@scotts4125 Then you're 100% right! All companies, have tools that don't perform as good as others, and all companies have bad quality control the later years. Knipex quality control, is not what it used to be, let's say 2005 and before. where all their tools came out perfect, with noticably higher quality overall.

What is that blue handled, offset mini lineman type pliers you sported in this video?

Used to build crates for an exhibit Co. and I'd use a longer break off blade like that to cut the 2" foam we'd use for padding them. Indispensable!!

I use that "UGLY" industrial dewalt knife (I think this design was originally made by Stanley). Its the ONLY knife that didn't brake on me. I do a lot of facade renovations so dropping a knife from a scaffolding is the usual thing for me.

What do you do with the broken off part? You really need to put them in a sharps container. Most of us don’t have one, especially if aren’t in the shop.

People can judge me if they want but at my last job, I'd just go over to a trash can and I stuck the used blades in either aluminum cans or a plastic bottle lol. This was a big box store and didn't have a sharps container thing. We weren't supposed to have razor knives anyway so that's sorta why.

Great content. What were those pliers that you used to snap off the blade.

What brand of replacement blades have you found to be the sharpest ?
@lastbesttool Жыл бұрын
I've found the DeWalt carbide, Fiskars, and even the rebranded Snap On blades to all be quite sharp. The DeWalt carbide and Fiskars seem to last the longest. I am also working with ceramic blades but they are too thick for most sliding mechanisms.
