DEWALT Push & Flip Folding Utility with Bladest, DWHT10992

As a minimalist, I’ve been searching for the perfect utility knife to minimize the clutter. At the arrival of the new year, I decided an upgrade was needed. This upgrade has the same features as the smaller version with the added spare blade storage, a larger more comfortable grip and a gut hook on the back of the handle for slicing shrink wrap or slicing straps without extending the blade. This design features a metal body coated with black paint and a plastic yellow insert. This combination of materials is more comfortable when my hand gets hot from heavy duty cutting. I do not like rubber grips on hand tools. Rubber grips melt away leaving a sticky residue from hot sweaty hands. That is a dealbreaker. Another dealbreaker between this tool versus the competition is the blade retention mechanism that doesn’t use a button to release the blade. Just lift the lever and pull the blade out. Inserting a blade is the easiest on the planet; just slide the blade in and the mechanism automatically opens and snaps shut without touching the lever. The pocket clip is reversible (the competition makes some terrible clips that can’t be removed). The pocket clip is a dealbreaker. This utility knife features a fixed blade that doesn’t retract, avoiding accidental cuts that cause damage and injury, reducing the liability for employers. The button lock folding technology was first introduced years ago by Milwaukee and other manufacturers have copied that technology. As the years have advanced, DeWalt researched, listened to every feature that consumers and professionals have asked for and demonstrated the ability to design and deliver a series of excellent products, such as this utility knife. In my humble opinion, this is the perfect utility knife on the market today. The quality is outstanding. Rating: 5/5 Level: Excellent Recommended: Yes

this tool is exactly what you expect when buying a blade. this opens easily, light weight but also is sturdy. i dropped it a few times on concrete with no issue. the blade is easy to swap and overall very comfy in your hand.

I like everything about this product. Very thoughtfully designed, the belt clip is removable and can be installed on the top or bottom of the knife. Has a slit for safety cutting banding or plastic sheeting. Has onboard blade storage which is not always common for a folding knife. Very solidly constructed.

The Push and Flip Folding Utility Knife with Storage is a fit in my hand and opens one handed with the press of an button and a flip. I find most utility knives with blade storage to be to big to carry everyday but I hardly noticed the difference. It holds 5 blades. It's nicely rounded, with ribbing where you need extra grip and cut outs for your fingers. A notch for stripping wire or cutting twine is on the back. I would highly recommend this product!
