Stanley 10-099 6 in Classic 99 Retractable Utility Knife, 3-Pack

Ive tried other types and styles over many years in the trade, but have come back to, and settled on this utility knife. It’s easy to use, nothing fancy or gimmicky, reliable and inexpensive.It needs no improvements.

There are Stanley, the best retractable knife out there.

exactly the items that I needed

Ordered this to replace one I had for several years. Works great!

This is the "Classic" Stanley knife but unfortunately the steel that they now use for the blade carriage is not the same as a knife made in years past. The outer case is exactly the same but internally they made a change to save what...20 cents per knife.... that will cause the carriage tab to break off from metal fatigue prematurely. The picture shows a blade carriage from an older knife which is made of "spring steel", a special type of steel that is made to bend and spring back (bottom one in pic). The new knives are made with the lowest grade stamped steel that lacks the same bending properties needed for the knife tab to last (top one in pic). This may sound like a nitpick but it's just another example of the degradation of quality for corporate profit. Give me a knife that lasts for $15. than one that will break for $6. any day of the week. So sick of this trend. MADE IN USA (with parts from China that were to absolute lowest bidder)

I have worked construction for 45 years I have used many different brands of utility knifes, but for me these Stanley knives have been around forever and the service life is great for the costs I also buy the 100 pack of refill blades. These are made to do what you dont want to do with your better knifes. And they are affordable.

I’ve been using this for boxes etc for a while; it’s easier than getting out a sharp knife, and you can just flip & dispose of the blades when they get dull. I lost mine so I had to order more.One out of this pack of three arrived without the slider piece that holds the blade, so it’s unusable. I can still use the blades as replacement for the other two, though.

Love it.
