Choose the Right Utility Knife

Choose the Right Utility Knife

Whether you are in the retail industry and have products shipped to you daily or you work in construction, utility knives are something your employees likely use daily. Depending on the industry you are in and the daily tasks that must be done, the knife you use can make a huge difference. While you can use any box knife to cut open packages, there are certain knives that work better for other jobs.

At Safecutters, we offer a huge variety of utility knives, allowing you to find the perfect one for your business and industry. You can shop our knives based on type, what it is used for, or brand. This gives you the ability to find exactly what you need and want. So, how important is it to choose your utility knife based on what you are using it for? Let’s just put it this way, if it wasn’t important, would there be one universal knife type? In this blog, we are going to talk about why it is important to pick the right utility knife.

More Effective

While many utility knives can be used for a variety of purposes and still be effective. There are certains knives that will simply do a better job. Let’s say you have to cut shrink wrap regularly, while some of your other employees are breaking down boxes more often than not. While one knife could get the job done, it would be much more efficient if you used a film cutter and your other employees used a box top or cardboard knife. By choosing the right knife, you will be able to perform your job better.

Different Strengths

Cutting tape from boxes does not require a strong knife, but cutting drywall does. Depending on your job, what industry you are in, or what you use your utility knife for regularly, you will want to find one that suits your needs. Safecutters offers both heavy duty knives and ceramic knives, which are strong, durable, and can get the job done! When you use an inadequate knife on a project that requires a strong blade, you will have a hard time working efficiently and doing the job well.

Improved Safety

Using the right utility knife is also important because it is much safer. If you are using a knife that is not strong enough to cut through a certain material, there is a chance you try to force it which could cause an injury. When you use a utility knife that allows you to efficiently do your job, you and your employees will be much safer and run into fewer incidents. Many of our knives have a tape splitter included on the knife. This allows for your employees to effectively cut open boxes without having to use their blade. The less the blade is used, the less likely someone is to cut themselves! Safety is likely one of the most important reasons to ensure you are using the right utility knife. When you use the wrong tools, there is a higher chance you will hurt yourself.

At Safecutters, we can provide you with the right utility knife that can get the job done. Be sure to shop through our knife categories to find the perfect one for you and contact us with any questions you may have.
