Looks like I picked a winner for my first ever utility knife. I couldn't figure out how to get the inserted plastic packaging out until I watched your video; much appreciated TTG! ~ A lady in her 60's who doesn't drive a truck 👍🏼
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.
I did review one of the fixed blade Stanley's. Check that out if you haven't. Good knife but I agree, wouldn't be fun to carry! Hit me up with a subscribe if you can.
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
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.
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
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. You did not address any of it.
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'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.
Good point, I guess I just say that generally to encompass everyone and to keep things concise. Appreciate the support, and I'll try to clarify that in a future video. I totally get your point. Please subscribe if you haven't already!
I bought this knife and it is horrible... the quick release does not work, and it is absolutely impossible to get the blade in!!. it goes in but slips right out. Stanley got it ALLLLL wrong. At least yours worked.
Took me a few minutes to get it. all figured out especially putting in a new blade. When you're putting in a new blade on the side with the quick release button facing you the blades have to have the Stanley name on the back side so you have a blank slide of the blade facing you then it goes in much easier and retracts much easier. Actually if on the blade you have the Stanley name facing you I couldn't get it to retract at all. So when putting a new blade in make sure the Stanley name is facing on the utility knife, but away from you on the blade, then there was no problem at all.
Thank you. I watched three videos before I found yours. Your the only one who showed how the change the blade.

I took it apart in order to put new blade in. Now can't get it to go together again.
I have a 1940s Stanley 1299. Non retractable. I can’t imagine having to carry that around safely. Belonged to my Grandpa.

@@gregshaffer850 Awesome, thanks Greg!
That Stanley 99 is the only knife I remember seeing in my dads garage. It was worn out and beat up but always worked.
There's literally instructions to "tear here" to remove the label.
I see so many "reviews" commenting how they can't remove the label. The IQ of the populace is incredibly low. It is embarrassing

To get packaging out, press yellow tab and pull plastic tab straight out

You don't need to open the knife up to insert/change blades. That's what the yellow button in the front is for.
He was showing the initial set-up so it needs to be opened to get the inserted plastic packaging out and to put the very first blade in the head.

They put it there so no one steals the blades in store

Can i get a "guys" count.
I love it, this would be great!
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.
“Is this the best utility knife?” Well I literally just bought mine and the blade wont go back in so no absolutely not
Not a guy.

Haha me either!

Sounds like you got a dud! That sucks. Maybe try returning it for a new one. That's what I would do.
