The is a pro‑grade safety knife built for everyday cutting chores on the jobsite, from stripping tape to breaking down boxes — and it won’t play games with you while you work. What makes this tool legit is the pressure‑sensitive blade that snaps back as soon as you let off the cut, stopping exposed steel before it becomes a hazard.

If you’ve ever fought with a cheap cutter that hangs its blade out there like it’s fearless, you’ll appreciate the auto‑retract blade on this Stanley — it acts like a little safety net for your fingers and everyone around you. In practice, that means fewer accidental nicks, fewer “oops” moments, and fewer tool‑box visits.

Key Features:

• Auto‑Retract Blade - The blade pulls back instantly when pressure’s released, helping keep cuts where they belong — on the material, not you.
• Tri‑Slide Trigger - You can engage the cutter from top, left or right side, so it’s easy to use whatever hand position you’re in.
• Multiple Depth Settings - Three blade depth options let you dial in how much blade you need, which matters on different materials.
• Bi‑Material Grip - A slip‑resistant handle keeps you from losing control when things get sweaty or dusty.
• Tool‑Free Blade Change - Swapping blades doesn’t require a bunch of fiddly screws — you get it done and get back to work.

Applications
