DeWALT Hand Tools DHT010998 Retractable Blade Utility Knife

When you’re trimming sheet materials, opening heavy packaging, cutting insulation, or scoring plasterboard, a utility knife has to do two things well: cut cleanly and stay dependable under pressure. The DeWALT Hand Tools DHT010998 Retractable Blade Utility Knife is built for daily site use, combining a rugged metal construction with practical features that keep you moving through repetitive cutting tasks without fuss.

The knife is designed around a tough cast alloy metal case, giving it the durability needed for rough environments where tools get dropped, knocked, and used with gloves on. A spring steel slider supports smooth blade movement, helping you control extension and retraction with confidence. For safer, more consistent cutting, the design also focuses on blade security, reducing unwanted movement when you’re applying force through dense cardboard, carpet, or strapping.

One of the most useful day to day advantages is the onboard waterproof blade storage, which holds up to five spare blades inside the handle. That means fewer trips back to the toolbox when an edge dulls mid task, and fewer loose blades rattling around in pockets. Blade changes are designed to be quick, making it easier to keep a sharp edge in service, which is both safer and more efficient than pushing on with a blunt blade.

For working at height or moving between locations, a lanyard hole gives you the option to tether the knife to reduce drops and improve site safety. Supplied with one blade to get started, this is a solid choice for trades who rely on a utility knife constantly, including dryliners, electricians, plumbers, warehouse teams, and general site operatives.
