Common questions
How does the self-retracting blade work?
The blade is out only while you hold the button. Release it and the blade retracts. A knife set down or dropped closes itself.
When do I want the 1/2" exposure?
For thick goods such as double-wall cartons, foam bundles and strapping, which a shorter blade rides over. For thin single-wall boxes, use the shortest exposure that cuts.
What does the round tip do?
It removes the point, so the blade cannot plunge or stab.
Why polypropylene instead of metal?
Weight. Ultra Light is for high-volume all-day cutting. The die-cast 42065 trades that lightness for body durability.
