Review: Best Box Cutter I've Ever Owned (Medium Sized Hands) - I have worked in warehouses for almost six years. Every day, I make between two dozen and two hundred cuts on cardboard boxes, zip ties, thick bands, and plastic straps. This CAT is hands down the best box cutter I've ever owned. The ergonomic design of the handle lock and grip are comfortable; I can cut a lot of cardboard without my wrist becoming sore, and I can press down hard on tough bands without pinching my wrist joint. The red lock toggles smoothly despite constant exposure to dirt, mud, and sawdust. Changing blades is easy, and there are no knobs or weird screws that loosen and fall off (like my previous box cutter). My employer loves Uline box cutters, but I paid out of pocket for this CAT and don't regret it. It is light, the blade hold remains snug despite months of daily use, and the silicone grip design stays firm in my hand even during the hot, sweaty summer months. CAT hit a home run with this box cutter. For my medium-sized hands, this is great. Large and XL hands might find it a little small (like your pinky finger won't fit on the grip, but slides off to the side).
Review: Fantastic design! - This is the best utility knife I've ever used! The retracting blade just makes it so easy. I immediately bought more as stocking stuffers and we used them constantly on Christmas morning. You do have to pay attention to how you're holding it, but I'm cautious enough for that to not be much of an issue for me (famous last words...)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would a nite ize hip clip work on this?**
A: Yes,  there is flat surface that could stick to.  This Sits easy in the pocket already.

**Q: Do you have these for left handers?**
A: It’s ambidextrous, except for the safety.

**Q: Is there a warranty?**
A: I dont know the answer but would relate that  it is a very nice knife for medium duty.  If you use it on drywall or something like that the mechanism will get messed up quickly.  For a box cutter etc. (anything that does not powder or is sticky or greasy) it is exceptional.  I have about 6 of them that I have given as gifts and everyone loves them (even my son who was using it to score sheet rock and his is a bit testy now) loves it.  Switching blades, getting the knife in and out or reversing blades it is exceptional

**Q: Does it have a clip? Or any way to carry it outside your pocket?**
A: No it does not come with a clip and no there isn't anyway to put a hook or anything on it that I have found. But it is a great knife

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best box, cutter, ever!
*by K***R on February 27, 2024*

This box cutter is very simple to use. You simply squeeze the handle and the cutter blade pops out, let go of the handle and it pops back in. Very safe! Also, there is a lock on the side. you can lock it and there’s no way the blade will pop out then.
