Review: Minor changes make a huge difference! - 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great knife with simple blade changes--thanks to prior reviewers!
*by J***T on March 15, 2015*

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.
