    Great cutter for the price.

    We purchased this for opening boxes during our convention. It was a sturdy effective tool.

    I used it to refine edges of mats cut with professional mat cutting equipment. The blades only lasted 3-4 cuts each before I had to replace them to achieve even a remotely clean cut. Since it came with five blades, it lasted as long as I needed it to for one evening. I ended up resorting to a dull Xacto knife instead as even that was doing a better job. The housing feels flimsy, and the blade is really difficult to retract and engage. It might be okay for light duty, but definitely not medium or heavy duty if you expect it to last more than a few hours. At least it was cheap.

    Comments about Staples® Retractable Heavy-Duty Utility Knife:

    Just opening a shop and received tons of boxes. This made it so simple to open them and sooo simple to break boxes down into smaller size to put in the recycling dumpster! All box cutters can be dangerous, so I always try to make sure it is closed, but sometimes a tiny tip can be stiking out if you are working quickly. Be careful with all box cutters! This one is great though for quality and ease of use.
