Application
The KNIPEX CutiX Universal Snap Knife can be used in just about any cutting application where a utility knife can be used, including box cutting, plastic band cutting, and more.
Origin
One of the KNIPEX engineers in Germany noticed when using competitor snap knifes the thin blade easily bent when extended. He thought there had to be a better design to keep the blade from bending and provide more stability. That’s when he came up with the idea to add a stabilization bar and the idea grew from there.
Features and benefits
- Two separate sliders - one for blade and one for stabilization bar.
- Uses standard 18mm snap-off blades.
- Blades can be easily replaced without tools with just a push of the button.
- Lightweight magnesium housing with non-slip gripping surfaces.
- Two spare blades stored in the handle.
- Tether attachment point can be used with the KNIPEX Tethered Tools System.
Selling points
- Stabilization bar keeps the extended blade rigid, so it does not bend making cutting easier.
- Easy blade change without using tools.
- Sturdy design.
