Tools and Hardware Reviews of Snap-On 870232 Pressure Activated Utility Knife
Customer Review: Not what I expected from Snap-On
Summary: 3 Stars
I use utility knives often and have had several "automatic" knives of varying quality and usability. I was pleased when I saw that Snap-On offered one with all the specs I treasured, since I have always been pleased with Snap-On quality. This knife initially seemed nice, since it is robust, solid and feels good in the hand. Then I began to use it. It has a very annoying "feature" that causes it to retract after being pulled axcross a piece of drywall. That means that for every cut, you have to hit the trigger on something every time to reopen it. If you are in the habit of whacking it on your leg, big bruises can result. This knife is fine for what it does, but the "auto-retract" is a dealbreaker for me. I have a similar, although lower quality Alltrade model that works well and is much more usable on the job.
I feel that this is the end of an era, since I have never before had a Snap-On tool that failed to exceed all expectations.
