Utility knife YATO YT-75122 with snap-off blade, blade 1.8×1.8 cm, orange/silver

The YATO Utility Knife 18Mm YT-75122 is a compact retractable cutting tool with an 18 mm snap-off blade made of SK5 steel. The zinc-alloy body with TPR anti-slip coating provides an ergonomic grip and mechanical resistance. A metal blade guide and integrated auto-lock mechanism keep the blade stable during use and reduce the risk of accidental retraction or ejection.

Advantages

The combination of an SK5 snap-off blade and a zinc-alloy casing ensures consistent cutting performance and extended service life. The TPR-coated handle improves control and comfort during repetitive tasks, while the metal guide supports smooth blade movement. The automatic locking system secures the blade under load up to the specified maximum pull force, helping to minimise blade-related incidents.

How to use

Ensure the blade is locked before storing the tool.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves and eye protection) when using the knife. Use the tool for suitable materials such as cardboard, plastic and carpet sheets, and avoid excessive lateral force to prevent blade damage or sudden breakage.
