Tools and Hardware Reviews of Alltrade 150003 Auto-Loading Squeeze Utility Knife
Customer Review: Fantastic tool!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband loves this knife. He uses it all of the time. He's even asked me to buy him another one just in case he loses the one he's got.
Well worth the money - it's a steal.
Customer Review: Fast knife and easy to operate with one hand, and Lifetime Warranty!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought one of these about 2 to 3 years ago and I use it every day to cut open boxes. It has been used hard and abused. I dropped it one day and it fell right on the open blade on a concrete floor. The blade no longer locked open, so I took it apart and tried to fix it. Unfortunately there is a small tab that broke off that I could not fix. So I order 3 more to replace it (we like them that much). When they came in I noticed that they had a LIFETIME WARRANTY. So I figured what the heck I would send it in and see if they would cover it ( I was not expecting it to be covered considering to take it apart you must cut the rubber backing and it was really BEAT UP )
Well today I just got a package in the mail. They sent me a brand new one. I could not believe that they covered the abuse that we put it through. I will definitely buy from Alltrade again.
The only thing that keeps this from getting 5 Stars is that some times when you are cutting something hard and you push the release button the blade will retract. So you just have to get used to holding it with out hitting it.
Customer Review: Finally! A knife that needs no other tools to use
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't realize it when I bought this utility knife, but you don't even need a screwdriver to change the blades. To change a blade, extend it by pressing the squeeze handle, carefully grasp the blade from above the razor edge, press the yellow button and pull the blade. Out it comes. If the opposite end of the blade is still sharp, you can reverse it, put it back in the blade storage area (that opens without a tool) on the side and let it come through when it shows up in the rotation.
The weight is significant, but I tend to like that because the heavier a tool is, the more control you can usually have over it. I have fairly normal size hands, ring size 8-8.5, and it fits my hand rather well.
One note, it is intended for right hand users, in my opinion, though it could be used by left handed users. The lock release button is a bit stiff, so the thumb works well to release it, but I'm not sure how difficult it would be to release it with another finger.
I checked this knife out at Lowes, and it costs more there than it costs here on Amazon, but no where near the suggested price listed here.
Customer Review: Great Knife!
Summary: 5 Stars
After loosing my Stanley utility knife, I found this while surfing around Amazon and decided to give it a shot since the price was reasonable. What a great knife! Compared to the Stanley, it is much more solid and larger, fitting perfectly in my hand. The blade is easily extended by squeezing the grip and retracts in a snap using a button on the side of the knife. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Great Product. Great design.
Summary: 5 Stars
This heck of a tool is an incredible time saver for drywall installation. I can have a fresh blade with a click of a button. The knife is also hefty in your hand and very comfortable to hold. There are no annoying and unsafe release buttons on top to push the blade back when you are really pushing on the knife to deeply score drywall. I would give it six stars if it was Made, IN the USA instead of Taiwan. But it seems to be a quality tool nonetheless.
