Stanley Bostitch Quick-Change Utility Knife with Retractable Blade and Twine Cutter, Silver (10-499) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
