Yes, you need to slide it back a little in order to release. That's the whole point. When you are using the tool, you might press the release button by accident, and the blade would fall out, and you don't want that. So it only releases when it's not in a locked position.
I'm 65 and have my father's Estwing hammer. Great hammer!!
Irwin also makes a utility knife where to release the blade you've gotta pull back just a bit before full blade. Its shows a blade where youre slider button should be.
Been lurking your videos for almost a year now Doc. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your content and your honest feedback on all items presented in your videos.
Have a good weekend!
Thanks for watching!
Irwin has a box cutter that is the same way. There was a notch on the button that you had to line up on the notch on the knife about half way in. It took me way to long to figure it out
My boss bought one and thought it was junk. He had four guys all around looking at how to change blades and he was about ready to toss it before I walked up and showed him how. He didn't tell me to "use my eyes" when I was hunting for something after that.
Do some ridgid wrenches, they make some weird and cool ones!
Great review Doc thank you for sharing your expertise
Thanks for the review
Like you showed you need to slide it all the way in to release it. It is a safety feature so you don't release it.
They should make one with the painters chisel only...
Looks like a lot of features for $17. It also looks like the blade doesn't extend far enough out past the body of the knife. Or is that an optical illusion? Anyhoo - glad you didn't lose any blood while attempting the blade removal!
There is a DOt right on the handle that you must lign it up with similar to what you did when you slid the blade bac ka lil bit and then you were able to get it out .......
Directions are a beautiful thing DOC ! Maybe read them once in a while ! Just because it looks similar to other tools you may own does not mean it operates in the same manner .......
Just sayin '
This vid triggered a little ptsd from half the utility knives I've used being annoying with the blade change. 😮
I like the looks of that snap-on utility knife you used. I will pass and just stay with two different and better tools.
They missed not having a hammer butt on it for tapping in popped nails and closing paint cans.
All you did was show me that I should get the snap-on version of the utility knife! Hahahaha!
Meh. A plain painter's tool (that retail for >$6) do just fine.
I'm with you. Who wants to clean the paint bits out of the middle of this thing.
Love your videos and gave a thumbs up...but, as a professional painter, this knife appears to be a zero out of 10. Blade seems not to come out far enough, the chisel tip is too small and too sharp, the brush cleaner is too small and not needed anyway, the bottle opener is more of a novelty. It would be much more suitable to a painter if it had a pry mechanism to open cans of paint...and a flat head screw driver head to take of switch plates on walls when painting and you don't want to run back to the vehicle to get one.
That's a fist fail I've seen for a estwing tool
It was actually a win for Estwing. A fail on Doc's part.
Not that there is a “picture of a blade” between the lock and unlock marks near the thumb slider. 🙄
Estwing should stick with hammers, axes, and pry bars
They do. They just license their name out which is how you get these and the screwdrivers.
Why isn't the blade pointing in?
Seems like a design mistake
The painters tool is crap. I've had this two days and the scraper blade bent while prying the PLASTIC plug out of a control box. I also find that the end of the knife is so fat and blunt it's hard to use the utility knife, the liner lock for the scraper is wrong damn side, and no pocket clip.
good gravy, all that time and expense to figure out how to remove a blade, and even then it's such a small bit to grab and pull. Not very ideal when wearing gloves, and just seems a bit annoying. Also, to have a painter scraper on the same tool means, for me anyway, that it'll just constantly get clogged up with plaster, adhesive and paint. There are many other more practical tools out there for all this.
😂 a defect or a feature, the old estwing 1 blade wonder most ppl will use the one blade get frustrated and donate them, that's where the resellers like me come in not a bad tool just a peculiar mechanism to operate it will lead to poor overall sales
ANOTHER FINE TOOL MANUFACTURER SCREWED UP BY THE HEDGE FUND OWNERSHIP-the hammer isn’t even the same tho made on USA-handle sux
RTFM😇
As I mentioned in the video, it would be nice if that information was presented somewhere. It’s not.
It's interesting that info would be left out. There is a rule in design that stresses a product should be self explanatory or intuitive. Instead, what we see here is a potentially dangerous puzzle! A lot of design effort went into the internal sliding mechanism, but the user interface was an after thought! Great content!
It just takes a little common sense. You spend too much time on one item.
