Stanley 10788 Curved Quick-Change Utility Knife Stainless Steel Retractable Blade 3 Blades

Nice tough utility knives. Ive had mine now for quite some time and it’s proven to be a winner. The grip is comfortable, the quick blade change is awesome and the blades fit perfectly with no issues. Came with extra blades which was nice. A great knife at a great price. Would buy again. In fact, I bought two 😁 Read more

You know that old utility knife? This is gen 2 of that. And the changes they made make a HUGE difference. It fits the hand better, has a little thumb pad right above the blade that gives you way more control, you don't have to take it apart to change the blades and the blade storage is both easier to access and works better. Frankly, everything about this is better. It uses the same blades, and the same slide mechanism to extend or retract them. It's still heavy enough to give a donkey a concussion, sturdy enough to actually be useful and you won't need to end up wrapping part of it with packing tape to keep the two halves together because you dropped the stupid screw and your cousin Billy ran off with it. There is nothing about this that is a downgrade. Everything that was great on the initial design is either still great or is even better! 100% will buy this again. Because, like every other useful tool ever, someone's gonna walk off with it at some point. I'd stab them for it except they walked off with my knife! Read more

No directions at all. Couldn’t get slider to work. Now watching you tube videos and taking it apart trying to figure it out. So complicated. After an hour I’m still confused and it’s still not working properly. Thought Stanley would be higher quality. Didn’t know it would be such a pain to get it started. About to just give up. The directions on here say look at instruction manual. There was none with the product. Nothing at all. Just the knife. Read more

I've used Stanley Classic Retractable utility knives for years, I believe the model is 10-099, but I tend to lose them for some reason, though I've never, ever lost any other tool. They just seem to disappear. Also, it really is a pain, and just plain inelegant, to have to unscrew the handle, take it completely apart, then screw it back on just to replace the blade. So this Quick-Change model is wonderful: I had no trouble replacing the blades--but then, I had been forewarned by prior reviewers!. Otherwise, since it only ships with 2 cryptic drawings on the card that occupies the blade holder when purchased, I can see where it could be tricky at first. To restate other reviewers: the trick in changing blades, which is not in any way evident on Stanley's diagram, is to advance the top blade retraction lever PAST THE FIRST STOP, to the end of its travel. Then merely press the yellow button on the side, slide the blade in, and perhaps most importantly, make sure you have inserted it all the way, so none of the notches on top of the blade are showing. Otherwise, even when you retract it all the way, a very nasty bit of blade will still be projecting. Another tip: to open the blade compartment in the handle, press the button on the top rear of the handle. That will cause the bottom of the handle to swing down, lever style, on a hinge in the middle of the knife, providing quick and easy access to the stored blades. So, this is really a simple, very handy knife to use, if you follow the tips here and in other reviews. It also has nice hand grips added. Read more

At first you will think this is too complicated. It is AMAZINGLY simple and great. I'm buying my 3d one today (for different locations). I bought this without first having read the reviews. It's description seemed enough. Then when I attempted to put in the first blade, I was ready to throw it through a window. The instructions made ZERO sense -- and still don't. Then I read one of the reviews, which described things more clearly. To install a blade, first depress the brass button on the top and move it all the way forward until it touches the black rubber cushion. It will stay there. THEN depress the yellow button on the side and simply slide in the new blade as far as it will go. Let go of the yellow button, pull the brass button back and the new blade disappears inside, ready for use without any problems. Once you know this, CHANGING BLADES IS EASIER THAN ANY OTHER - no screws or taking it apart needed. And there's a handy storage bin in the handle that drops down at the push of a button to hold new blades and the used blades. No fuss whatsoever. Read more
