Utility knife STANLEY 0-10-819, aluminium body, snap-off blade, length 205 mm

STANLEY 0-10-819 is a utility knife with a lightweight aluminium body and a snap-off segmented blade. With an overall length of 205 mm, this cutter is designed for controlled, straight cuts in materials commonly encountered on construction sites, in workshops and during packaging work. The segmented blade enables quick restoration of a sharp cutting edge by snapping off worn sections, while the aluminium handle provides durability and reduced weight for frequent use.

Advantages

The aluminium body offers strength and corrosion resistance while keeping the tool light for extended use. The snap-off segmented blade gives multiple fresh cutting edges from a single blade, reducing downtime for blade changes. The overall length delivers a stable grip and precise control for straight and repeatable cuts. The knife is supplied as a single unit and is suitable for professional and DIY applications where a reliable utility cutter is required.

Suitable for

• Cutting cardboard, tape and packaging materials
• Scoring and trimming drywall paper and similar sheet materials
• Cutting insulation foams, carpet underlay and vinyl flooring
• General workshop tasks such as trimming, scoring and slicing soft materials

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminium for reduced weight and increased durability
• Blade type: snap-off segmented blade for multiple fresh edges
• Overall length: 205 mm offering stable handling and reach
• Supply: single unit
• Recommended user: adult use only (not suitable for persons under 18 years)

How to use

Hold the knife by the aluminium body with your dominant hand, keeping fingers away from the blade path. Extend the blade to the required length and use steady pressure to cut through the material, keeping the blade angle shallow for thin materials and slightly steeper for thicker materials. When the tip becomes dull, snap off the front blade segment along the pre-scored line using the built-in breaker or a suitable tool, then retract and lock the blade before storing. Always lock the blade when not in use and replace the blade if it becomes bent or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting. Store the knife with the blade retracted and out of reach of children. For clean, precise cuts, change to a new blade segment before excessive force is required; for heavy-duty tasks use a blade specifically rated for thicker or reinforced materials.
