Tools and Hardware Reviews of Stanley 10-788 Contractor Grade Instant Change Utility Knife
Customer Review: works fine for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I have 2 of these models and one of the "consumer" models that operates in the same manner. I'm quite pleased with these knives, with respect to the operation and ergonomics. Blade changes are fast and easy and I like the storage area in the handle for extra blades.
My only gripe is that the blades that come with them don't last very long, certainly not as long as the blades that came with the cheaper version that I bought a few years ago. The cheap blades that I bought at a local home center are better than the blades that came with the knife. It's really annoying to have to change blades so often, not to mention the problems with disposal of the used blades.
Customer Review: Back to the store!
Summary: 1 Stars
A piece of junk. Upon opening the package, reading the instructions and trying to attach the blade, I immediately realized I had a defective unit. I figured I'd look it up on the net and try to find out if I was doing something wrong - if a product is supposed to be simple to use, but you still have to go online and seek help on its basic functionality, you know it has design issues! After reading entries in a couple of sites and finally here, I decided I won't waste any more time trying to get it to work. It is going back to the store. The engineers designed a good looking tool, but they did not make a product that works.Customer Review: Good Design, Horrible Execution
Summary: 1 Stars
The instructions given above would work if the sliding button would stay locked in place. When the blade is inserted with the yellow button completely pushed in, the blade still forces the slider back and unlocks it. The blade will then not insert any farther. This is a horrible tool and no one should purchase it.Customer Review: Lawsuit waiting to happen ...
Summary: 1 Stars
Although, some reviews are raving about this product, I have to respectfully disagree. The instructions that come with the knife are not detailed enough, to say it nicely. Sooner or later someone will get hurt trying to wrestle with changing a blade.
Buyer beware.
Customer Review: ridiculously poor documentation on how to install blade
Summary: 1 Stars
Some engineer had a field day designing this. They forgot to tell the marketing and sales people that whoever buys it will need a class on how to install the blade for the first time. If you buy it, have someone show you how to install the blade to save yourself a ton of aggravation.
