Classic 99 Utility Knife w/Retractable Blade Gray

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Stanley utility knife to try out and review. I own a painting company so I have used multiple utility knives over the years. I use this one on a shipping box, and it cut through the packing tape and cardboard without much effort at all. I did not have any issues with the blade, not going through or with the blade getting stuck as I would cut. This tool had a nice safety feature. It was easy to push the blade up and down for when it was in use and not in use. It was light weight so it was not a hassle to have in my pocket when I was using it on Paint jobs. The only thing I did not like about the utility knife was that you had to use a screwdriver to open the side of it up in order to change the blades out. Other than that part, I thought the utility knife was very useful and a very good product.

This is the most comfortable utility knife on the market because it doesn't have a rubber handle. I have found that this smooth finish makes me more productive. I don't have time to worry about someone's definition of comfort. Also, if you want a thin utility knife, then you have to sacrifice blade storage. This utility knife holds up to 11 razor blades inside of the handle and one in front, for a total of 12 razor blades. If you want a belt or pocket clip, then you have to sacrifice comfort because it is not comfortable having a clip dig into the palm of my hand. The best feature is the 5 exposed blade positions. Most retractable utility knives on the market only have up to 3 blade positions, some have only 1. You usually have to read the fine print (in a tiny font size on the back of the package to discover the truth). I have found that many retractable utility knives will jam because the quick-change mechanism does not stay aligned properly (you won't have that problem ever with this model). The only thing that can be improved would be having ridges along the top and bottom of the handle to prevent slippage when your hand is hot and sweaty.

I've have my Stanley for yrs . It's helped me sheet Enough rooms to reach the moon n back end to end Best utility knife ever made . I've a few by Stanley but this one has been handed down the family.

In 1970 I walked into CC Lumber in Corpus Christi, Texas and lay down my dollars for my first Stanly 10-099 utility blade, just like my Dad's. The old original has seen me through 40+ years of drywall, framing and carpentry. Looks old, feels good in the hand. As long as I feed it Stanley replacement blades and clean it up from time-to-time it works (and has never drawn blood). Cannot say more for a useful tool than that.

The utility knife features interlocking above and below the blade so the blade never comes through the handle when used ruggedly. It uses Stanley blades which have the 2 notches cut out on top. Easy to switch blades with flat-head or Phillips screwdriver.

... Excellent old style utility knife...:-)

I'm a fridge delivery guy and this knife cuts through the thick packaging box like butter. Made my work fast and easier. It is safe and build to last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This boss knife is very good. I love the size and ability to change the knife quickly. The knives are good and a very durable very sharp to cut any tape or anything holding them back the box highly recommend. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great utility knife! it does the job. It's super sharp. The blades are super easy to apply and extras are stored inside the blade itself. The retractable button is very specific to push and doesn't easily expose the blade. The knife is slim and small which is perfect a tool bag. Overall I totally recommend! it's amazing quality.

Reliability, when you need it, it's always my go to!
