I don't think I'll get much discussion on this here but I'll give it a crack anyway. Are there any tradies out there who use this folding-style of knife vs the more common craft-knife, snap-blade style? Genuinely curious as to what people like about these or dislike about snap-offs.
I have been on work sites where the standard snapoff knives are banned for health and saftey. You have to use the spring loaded knives that "safely" retracts the blade when not in use.
That's pretty standard in warehousing/ picking and packing as well. I'm curious about other whether there's a significant benefit to this style that I'm missing because the yanks love them.
Fletcher's have been cracking down on knives on site for awhile now. This style is probably Abit safer than the snap off style. In theory you don't need a knife that can extend out further than this one.
Lol. Every worksite I've ever been on you it doesn't matter what type of knife they have - you can guarantee its sitting with the blade out somewhere stupid.
I'm still using the similar $5 Dewalt knife from the warehouse about 5 years ago.
Could be $5 oem ones from aliexpress. Slap a brand on it and it becomes $23
No it was DWHT10035, very good quality.

Good find, thank you for sharing
