 Topic: Utility Knife ??
Posted: 29 Mar 2022 at 6:24pm |
Who makes a "RELIABLE/Quality" quick/change "Stanly Knife " type of a knife ?? I gave up on the original Stanley brand , was at the local Menards and they don't even offer ANYTHING Stanley in tapes or knives anymore. I did NOT want the "mastercraft" version of a knife, so I splurged for a LENOX brand, made in USA thinking I'm doing myself a favor (more $$= better quality) , was I ever WRONG !!!! What a POS this Lenox tool is  !! What's the go-to knife that you guys use ??

It all about the post count Steve. The only thing he has to do, is sit there drinking his beers and dreaming up his next question.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

I should stay away from this but-I used alot of knifes in my trade and Lenox had by far the best blades. But I would use a couple a day. I think it is operator error. Did you put the blade in the right way. (there is a right way to put them in) People in the trades must just love you!!!!!!

The 3 blades that "came" with the knife were "tinted" on the cutting edge, best part of the package  . Like YOU said, Lenox had the best "BLADES"  !! You DO realize that it takes the "knife" to hold the blades   ?? READ THE TOPIC DUDE !!!!

I though you were DONE asking STUPID questions ??? Did you get the MAP LIGHT fixed ? [/QUOTE Why were there US flags/ MADE IN USA labeling all over the packaging ??? Never read MIC anywhere on the wrapper ?? Not yet, busy looking for a reliable/useable utility knife, thanks for asking though  . BTW, why is this a stupid question ??

I picked up a couple from Ace hardware years ago. I use them several times a week. They are not quick change blades. I had several of them and they were all crap. These I gotta have a flattop screwdriver to change blades.

i hafta buy them by the dozen. the old lady....oooops....i mean the loving wife will grab one to do something, lose it, then come get another, lose it, then another...only way i was able to keep one over a month is i hid it in a charcoal briqette sack. i usually find most the ones she lost about a year later all rusted up. they usually never even get a first blade change! finally started buying them at HF or wally world at about $1.99 ea. i bought a 100 pack of new blades years ago, package has never been opened.

 Come on guys be nice to Fishybee, don't scare the fishy away. Shameless is to busy with the ol.....................loving wife. He ant had time to loose a phone, or even add much fuel to the "machine" . Darrel has not had time to check in with full time job up in Dakota. I think John with "big boobs" is gone too. We need FreeFishy to give us something to poke at.

I use a Stanley to cut the big round bales when I feed the cows. Keep a sharp blade in it and works good

Here is one of the handiest tools, takes standard sawzall blades, and the blade folds into the handle.

After buying one of those cheap Husky fold up with quick change I can’t imagine buying anything else. Maybe a different brand but the design is small and hard to beat. The others just don’t “cut” it.

Gassy don't need a knife, he can use his tongue. Sharp tongue and a dull mind, what a combo!
