 Quick change at its best, By
This review is from: Stanley Bostitch Quick-Change Utility Knife with Retractable Blade and Twine Cutter, Silver (10-499) (Office Product)
Great design by Stanley so you don’t have to take it apart to change blades. The little storage area for blades is neat too. The blade change isn’t totally intuitive so it would help if they put something like this on their packaging: "Push down black retractable blade button and push all the way forward past the detent so the button stays pushed down. Then push in the silver side button and pull blade out." Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I used it to cut some ceiling tile and rubbed off a big section of paint on the handle near the blade; they should have nickel or chrome plated that section instead of painting it.

 VERY difficult to figure out, By
This review is from: Stanley Bostitch Quick-Change Utility Knife with Retractable Blade and Twine Cutter, Silver (10-499) (Office Product)
Customer Video Review Length:: 4:55 Mins I am so glad to see other reviewers had problems figuring out how to change the blades. It has literally taken me 30 minutes to get the blade in, and I really thought I had just somehow gotten a broken one. Now that the blade is in, I don’t have any idea how I got it there. Very frustrating as “using a knife” didn’t bring to mind ideas of spending half an hour getting it ready before I could even start. Come on Stanley, put some directions on this thing. If you’ve got some time to figure out this Indiana Jones-esque device, go ahead and save a couple dollars. Otherwise, spend a few bucks more and get something easier to use. edit as of 4/4/2011 – I put a video on here because I finally had time to make putting the blade in a project on its own. The quality isn’t that great, but it’s solid information and gives you a realistic idea of what changing blades is like. Once that blade is in, I have no complaints.

Great knife, By
This review is from: Stanley Bostitch Quick-Change Utility Knife with Retractable Blade and Twine Cutter, Silver (10-499) (Office Product)
This is a very nice knife. As was mentioned it is sometimes difficult to change the blade, you need to make sure push the blade ALL the way out and then press the blade release button. The spare blade holder is nice and big, I have about 5-6 blades there. The string cutter doesn’t seem to work all that well, so I ususaly just use ther enitre blade to cut string. |
