I've long considered the Stanley 10-499 to be THE perfect Stanley utility knife, a natural evolution of the classic 99 since it allows for quick blade changing and storage access while still having near-identical ergonomics.
But the classic 99 with retractable blade is the one I used while growing up. It sort of leaves an impression on you.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video, it’s been very helpful.

I like the fixed blade one for cutting tough stock.

[@peterbarlow8912]

I must have a dozen 10-499’s including the lighter early ones with the metal button. For precision the fixed knife would be good but requires a dedicated sheath. The body screws straight slots are fat so you can drive them with a dime.

Thank you! I could not figure how the retractable lever went back in

Glad I was able to help Janet! Hit me up with a subscribe if you don't mind. Much appreciated!

I should make a video on assembling the 99 retractable blade. After 15 minutes and various swear words, I could not do it. I don't need a box cutter that badly. I returned it.

Very helpful video, thanks a lot.

The fixed blade is used by a lot of steel stud drywall guys. I have used both and even an 18 mm olfa all work well but the Stanley's seem to be the most popular

[@TheTruckGuy]

Makes sense, they probably like how secure the blade is. Or is there another reason?

[@stephanstrickland6373]

@@TheTruckGuy they use the Stanley fixed blade or the grabber fixed blade due to how little it moves. I use a 99e, fixed and olfa 18mm depending on my mood and what I am doing. I find if I need a really tight fix a fixed blade is best but I use my olfa when teaching new guys as it's easier to start with for them

[@TheTruckGuy]

Awesome insight, thanks Stephan!

I've got one (probably ancient) from my dad and im now quite interested in these even though i dont use it that much but much better than the other weak knifes that you break off when dull
I quite like their design, but mine had terrible wobble so we just drilled a hole and put a screw to hold the knife in place when in use

[@TheTruckGuy]

Try the Stanley Fixed Blade Utility Knife. No wiggle or wobble whatsoever.
