Happy yours worked so easily. I opened mine and all the flimsy pieces fell out. Finally got them back in with difficulty and closed with the screw. The blade container would not open after several tries but finally it did open. I had to "shave' the button to make it work. This is not my first box cutter.
This utility knife model can be used has a seatbelt cutter because tht integrated string cutter recesses in the blade like tht of a seatbelt cutter’s blade!
Once you open it it’s ridiculously difficult to put it together. No my dad did not have it on his belt. And I had to be careful not get cut by the spilling blades.
Many said the quick change tends to fail and blades don't lock up anymore... That's why I like the 199 more, no slide, no buttons, no springs, no flimsy tin parts that could fail. Yes, you have to use a screwdriver to change the blade, but the one your grandpa used, still works
Just got this knife After tearing the cardboard where directions show the rest of the package card slides right out so taking it apart is not something that is needed 4-22-24
Use a utility knife to cut that packaging tag off! If your pulling hard enough to have a blade tear out your due for a fresh point. 10-499’s have been bulletproof for me. Don’t get me started on folding knives.
I love the concept, so much so that I have gone through at least 10 of these. Unfortunately, the blades always end up falling out, especially when cutting drywall. I'm still searching for a better retractable alternative.
I've had two of those. The quick release feature failed on both of them. I've also had several Uline knives with the same quick release feature and every one failed at the quick release feature. The blade storage on the Stanley kept getting in a bind on one of the knives so that it was difficult to open.
I took it apart in order to put new blade in. Now can't get it to go together again.
There's literally instructions to "tear here" to remove the label.
Looks like I picked a winner for my first ever utility knife.
You don't need to open the knife up to insert/change blades. That's what the yellow button in the front is for.

Thank you. I watched three videos before I found yours. Your the only one who showed how the change the blade.

I have a 1940s Stanley 1299. Non retractable. I can’t imagine having to carry that around safely. Belonged to my Grandpa.

To get packaging out, press yellow tab and pull plastic tab straight out
That Stanley 99 is the only knife I remember seeing in my dads garage. It was worn out and beat up but always worked.

THANKYOU, This video is so helpful
They put it there so no one steals the blades in store
Can i get a "guys" count.
All those plastic parts are not lasting a lifetime. I'm sticking with the classic! I don't mind longer blade change time for a more secure knife.
