Craftsman Craftsman Folding Utility Knife Reviews

I originally bought this knife a year and a half ago. It is very useful, compact, and strong. It is extremely easy to change blades, and with the locking mechanism there is no worry of the knife unexpectedly closing.

The Craftsman Folding Utility Knife is another great tool that bears the lifetime warranty. I recently bought this knife again because I lost my original. I strongly recommend this knife to anyone, and one can rest assured that you will not be disappointed.

I bought this knife today. I plan to carry it as a pocket knife as a few of my friends do. By changing blades you always have a nice sharp knife. The blade locking system is a lot stronger than other brands I've seen. I also have the wood handled version but this model is lighter in weight making pocket carry easier.

I am very pleased with this Folding Utility Knife * stock # 94848*.   It did exactly what I purchased it for.  It did the job a little too well, and yes I did exactly what I was told NOT to do by the Store Owner.  I managed to cut myself the first time I used it.  Fortunately, being prone to cutting myself I keep a first aid kit handy at all times.   This tool is exactly the tool I wanted, it was in stock, and it was on sale too.  I admit to being a craftsman tools nut.  I have only 2 or 3 things in my tool box that did not come from Sears, and I found those on the side of the road.

These folding utility knives have been so useful to me to use over the years with Sears.

I've bought just about every model knife Craftsman has come out with.

I didn't realize HOW MUCH I liked these knives, until I organized all the knives I had laying around the house to one of my tool storage cabinet drawers.

Long story - short. They all "didn't fit" in just one drawer.

:)

OK. A tool fanatic working in a tool department is like an alcoholic working in a liquor store.

But, I've used virtually every model of folding utility knife Craftsman has sold.

So, I highly recommend the use of these knives.

This utility knife is one of my favorite tool purchases ever. The knife is easy to use, by opening and closing like a jack-knife. The blades change easily in three steps, and it uses standard utility blades, making it easy to keep stocked with fresh blades. The anodized aluminum body makes it very light but strong, and the knurled surface ensures a good grip even when your hands are a bit on the slippery side.

I actually purchased a second one during a rebate special, so it ended up being free. I probably use these knives once a week, for opening packages, or prying small things (not recommended),...

A great utility knife at a bargain price!

This is a great utility knife that is durable and does its job. I really like its look and the entire design of it as well. Not too heavy. Comfortable handle. Nice patented blade lock mechanism. The one handed opening is really nice. Best of all, it is covered by the lifetime waranty but I doubt that I will have to use it.

Solid Performance

I use this knife every day at work. The shape works well in the hand for stability. By far its best feature is that it locks solidly in place. Other blades slip and fail with pressure, not this one. The only significant limitiation to the design is that it does not store extra blades. Great pocket knife look and feel! I bought a second one for home.

utility knife

I saw this knife on a sears store display and thought why not, so I purchased it. This turned out to be the most useful knife. Cut boxes,paper,wallboard ,wire or anything else you wouldn't put a good pocket knife on. The blade change is fast and easy.

Third knife

Well when this style of knife first hit the market I bought a sheffield brand for around $13. I was a commercial electrican and used the knife constantly. I was pleased with everything except the price I had paid. Then I lost the knife and while looking for a replacement came across this model at sears, needless to say I bought it right there on the spot. Then bought 2 more for some friends of mine, this knife is the best utility knife I've ever used. It's light weight and compact, changing blades is a snap. EVEN IF YOUR NOT IN THE MARKET FOR A KNIFE, BUY THIS ONE. YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

The Lil Red Craftsman that could

Hi, to all that may be inquiring about or needing a knife to have handy. This lil wonder works great, is compact and verstile anywhere you would need a utility knife for a quick cut. I'm sure there is stuff that can't be cut with it, but for the most part, it does the trick. I have several, keep them in the garage, in the house, in the truck, on the motorcycle. Great value for not only getting a good knife, but spare blades, and a nylon pouch, plus hey its a Craftsman!!!!! Got a problem with it, just take back and get a new one. Thanks to all that took the time to read

great knife

I bought one of these knives about a year ago and carry it everywhere . I'm in construction and it handles all I can dish out . With a lifetime guarantee as long as you don't lose it you'll be set . I bought this one because it was a great price and my business partner is always borrowing mine .

Okay so if you are looking for a GOOD utility knife this is the one you need! I used to get these styles from ***** but then it seems everyone switched to the quick release type knives, which for anyone that actually uses their utility knife the quick release is a very poor design.. drywall dust, saw dust from your bags and just being used the quick release quickly fails and it always makes its way to the trash. After doing some searches tonight I found this style again and will be buying a bunch just in case sears goes fully quick release but if you buy this style of knife you wont have to buy...
