Product Summary

The Beta 1771BM Snap Blade Utility Knife is designed for professionals who need a durable, reliable cutting tool that delivers consistent performance day after day. Featuring a locking, retractable snap-off blade housed within a sturdy metal support channel, this utility knife provides superior blade stability, enhanced safety, and improved durability compared to standard utility knives. The reinforced metal channel protects the blade during demanding cutting applications while helping prevent wear to the knife body at the tip, extending the life of the tool. When the blade edge becomes dull, simply snap off the worn segment to reveal a fresh, sharp cutting edge and continue working without interruption. Built with user comfort and safety in mind, the ergonomic bi-material handle features a non-slip grip that promotes secure handling and improved control during repetitive cutting tasks. Measuring 170 mm (6.7in.) in overall length, the Beta 1771BM is ideal for cutting cardboard, packaging materials, plastic sheeting, insulation, drywall, vinyl, and other jobsite materials. Compatible with standard 18 mm (0.70in.) snap-off blades, this professional-grade utility knife comes complete with six blades included, ensuring you're ready to work right out of the package.
