## Overview

The CAT Safety Utility Knife 240071 is a lightweight, metal-handled box cutter featuring a self-retracting blade for enhanced safety, a push-button mechanism for quick, tool-free blade changes, and an ergonomic design with a thumb-groove for superior comfort during extended use. It includes 3 extra safety-tip blades stored inside and a blade lock for repetitive cutting tasks, making it a top choice for professionals seeking efficiency and injury prevention.

## Description

Designed to minimize lacerations. Perfect size for work and home applications with an ergonomic handle that has a thumb-groove for greater control and comfort.

Review: I have worked in warehouses for almost six years. Every day, I make between two dozen and two hundred cuts on cardboard boxes, zip ties, thick bands, and plastic straps. This CAT is hands down the best box cutter I've ever owned. The ergonomic design of the handle lock and grip are comfortable; I can cut a lot of cardboard without my wrist becoming sore, and I can press down hard on tough bands without pinching my wrist joint. The red lock toggles smoothly despite constant exposure to dirt, mud, and sawdust. Changing blades is easy, and there are no knobs or weird screws that loosen and fall off (like my previous box cutter). My employer loves Uline box cutters, but I paid out of pocket for this CAT and don't regret it. It is light, the blade hold remains snug despite months of daily use, and the silicone grip design stays firm in my hand even during the hot, sweaty summer months. CAT hit a home run with this box cutter. For my medium-sized hands, this is great. Large and XL hands might find it a little small (like your pinky finger won't fit on the grip, but slides off to the side).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would a nite ize hip clip work on this?**
A: Yes,  there is flat surface that could stick to.  This Sits easy in the pocket already.

**Q: Do you have these for left handers?**
A: It’s ambidextrous, except for the safety.

**Q: Is there a warranty?**
A: I dont know the answer but would relate that  it is a very nice knife for medium duty.  If you use it on drywall or something like that the mechanism will get messed up quickly.  For a box cutter etc. (anything that does not powder or is sticky or greasy) it is exceptional.  I have about 6 of them that I have given as gifts and everyone loves them (even my son who was using it to score sheet rock and his is a bit testy now) loves it.  Switching blades, getting the knife in and out or reversing blades it is exceptional

**Q: Does it have a clip? Or any way to carry it outside your pocket?**
A: No it does not come with a clip and no there isn't anyway to put a hook or anything on it that I have found. But it is a great knife

This is great. Love it. My go to knife for DIY. You can lock the blade in our out, and the squeeze mechanism keeps sharp bits safe until you need them. Customs did sit on it for a bit. I didn't really think about that before ordering. The pop out blade could, I suppose, be a worry. But it came through after about a week, so all good. Has a spare blades holder and uses standard blades, not those terrible snap off things that are an eye injury waiting to happen.
