Very Good Box Cutter

I use box cutters almost every day, but I've never found one that I really liked. I saw this pair on Amazon, and they arrived today. The action is very smooth - no sticking at all. To change the blade, you just push the red button to remove and insert. I'm going to get another two.

When you slide the blade out does it stay out or spring back in? I, too, use a box cutter daily and hate the ones I have to hold the slide to keep the blade out.

You move the blade out, and you move it back in. As soon as I finish a cut, I retract the blade. I still have ten fingers.

This new cutter has gotten me to order a lot more from Amazon because it's so easy to cut the boxes open.

I just received two box cutters - on your suggestion.
Thank you Jerry! They work well.
Cheers!
