Tools and Hardware Reviews of Alltrade 150003 Auto-Loading Squeeze Utility Knife
Customer Review: Click Utility Knife
Summary: 5 Stars
The knife works as expected and the entire buying experience was excellent. Amazon and Ace Hardware teamed together and got the product to me very quickly.Customer Review: Coolest cutter knife EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the coolest cutter knife I've ever used. It is fairly compact, fits my hand well and the push lever to open the knife is set at just the right angle for me, with the pressure needed to extend the blade hard enough so a child couldn't open it, but an adult can. The BEST FEATURE is that the knife blade slips back into the knife and is hidden away when you let go of the lever, making it the safest cutter ever. I bought two more of these knives for family because it is such a great invention. This knife really is a step ahead of the rest of the cutter knives on the market.Customer Review: Did Not Like.

Product was probably defective but was awkward and dangerous. The movement of the blade was faulty.Customer Review: Dissatisfied
Summary: 1 Stars
I was a bit skeptical upon buying this, because of the spring loaded button that retracts the blade...and at first i thought the knife was great. however, i am a carpenter, and i use this very frequently every day, and have been for 3 weeks, and its already starting to not retract the blade fully when pressing this little button. it seems it is not very durable, in my opinion.Customer Review: Doesn't hold up to heavy use
Summary: 3 Stars
Once you get used to the size, it is a great knife. I love how easy it is to remove a dull blade and pop out the next one or flip the dull one around to use the other edge. But I've been using it to do drywall and insullation, and both applications have clogged the blade so it won't retract fully. It's still faster changing blades than the quick-change utility knives, but it gets frustrating when you have to find a hard surface to tap the blade back inside. And unless you're wearing a full utility belt, good luck trying to find a pouch for it.
Update; this knife stopped being able to open after about a year's use. It's opened by squeezing the grip, which is connected to an accordian lever inside that moves the blade mount forward and back. First the rubber grip at the top is glued in place so you can't perform maintenance without ripping it off. Second the accordian lever is attached to the blade mount by a rivet and the grip by a pin. On mine, the lever came off the rivet and was never actually attached to the grip. I could probably repair it in 20-30 min, but standard razor knives without the fancy mechanism work just as good without any of the hassle. It's an OK knife, but I won't be buying one again.
