Cutting tools for receiving docks, warehouses, construction and maintenance crews. This section covers retractable and fixed-blade utility knives, auto-retracting safety cutters, snap-off knives, folding knives, scrapers, replacement utility and snap-off blades, industrial shears, and general-purpose scissors.

What to check before you order

  • Safety cutters for box opening. Auto-retracting and concealed-blade cutters lower the chance of cuts on high-volume receiving lines.
  • Blade compatibility. Most utility knives take standard trapezoid blades, but snap-off knives use their own blade widths. Check before buying replacements.
  • Blade change. Tool-free blade changes save time; dull blades take more force and cause more slips.
  • Grip and lock. A firm lock on the blade and a non-slip handle help keep cuts controlled.
  • Pair with gloves. Cut-resistant gloves are a common requirement where knives are used daily.

Browse all hand tools, add pliers and cutters, or stock up on packing tape, film and strapping for the shipping bench.

Common questions

What is the difference between a utility knife and a snap-off knife?

A utility knife usually holds a stiff trapezoid blade that is flipped or replaced when it dulls. A snap-off knife uses a long scored blade, and you break off the dull tip to expose a fresh edge, which suits frequent light cutting of film, cardboard and drywall paper.

How often should utility knife blades be changed?

Change the blade as soon as it drags, tears the material or needs extra force to cut. A dull blade is more likely to slip, so many shops set a routine for blade changes and keep a puncture-resistant container for used blades.
