STANLEY FATMAXRetractable Utility Knife, Blade Storage can Hold Up to 10 Blades, Includes 5x STANLEY FATMAX Induction Hardened Utility Blades, 0-10-778

No instrutions how to fit blade took awhile to realise just push in

This item came on time and was reasonably priced. However, there were no real instructions how to put a blade into it. So I resulted to good old Youtube and that did the trick.Despite lack of instructions, I'd still award this 5 stars

I have owned a few Stanley, and other branded, knives such as this. Usually they become uncomfortable to use, a lack of rubber inserts on the grip, gunk can get into the mechanism or i just lose them. I picked this up based on the fact it is Stanley so a well recognised brand of some stature, its yellow so easy to pick out on the floor or a cluttered tool tray and it has some good reviews as well as added features.- The knife comes with a small cardboard insert attached, no excessive packaging. Its very comfortable to hold, the rubber inserts as mentioned really make a difference when using for a prolonged period of time or when using lots of pressure. The build quality feels nice and solid, the slides and click fasteners just work, a few months of use and they still simply just work with no fuss.- I like the balance of the knife, its fairly even and not overly top heavy as some of the others i have owned have been. The quick release mechanism does take a couple of click releases to get used to, it requires a little shift to one side once the blade is inserted to fully lock in place but its not problematic.- The additional blade holder is super useful, it just means you arent trapsing back to your tool box for replacements or worse still having to carry spare blades in your pockets or tool belt, which is just a recipe for hand and finger cuts.- I have had this for three months now and used in a variety of situations, both at work and at home. Carpets, underlay, plastics, cable, tape, whatever material i use it on it hasnt bent, broken or let me down. The blades stay firmly in place, the quick release works just fine and i dont have that aching hand syndrome some of the competition have in the past left me with when ive had to use for an hour or more.Its a really well thought out and robustly manufactured knife, im unsure how you could improve it so its Five Stars.

Like one of the other reviewers here I've had to bin this version of the Stanley knife. It never held the blade properly, frequently slipping out or else jamming half-in, half-out. The handle is nice and weighty and fits the hand well, and the spare blade holder is fine, but changing the blade was a nightmare. My last one (same type) was fine, so I think it may be due to a flaw in the metal retractable blade holder. Either way, it's fiddly and hazardous, and there's no way of fixing it even by taking the knife apart. A great shame.

Sturdy knife. Excellent sharpness. Lightweight holds blade well.I found it fidley to insert blade at first. Didn't seem to want to grab blade. But got it in .

Great Item fast delivery

works well and a good price too!
