Stanley FatMax STA010825 140mm Retractable Folding Utility Knife

Some knives are built for occasional box-opening. Others are made to live in a tool pouch day after day—taking on carpet, packaging, trims, plastics, and whatever else the job throws at you. The Stanley FatMax STA010825 140mm Retractable Folding Utility Knife sits firmly in the second camp: rugged, ergonomic, and designed for speed and safety.

The standout advantage is the retractable blade mechanism, giving you extra control when moving between cuts and reducing exposure when the knife is not actively in use. Combine that with a folding design, and you’ve got a knife that’s genuinely practical for pocket or toolbox carry—ideal for site work, maintenance, and installation tasks where you need a blade frequently but don’t want unnecessary risk between jobs.

When blades dull (and they always do at the worst moment), instant, tool-free blade change keeps downtime to a minimum—swap blades in seconds rather than hunting for a screwdriver. For even more convenience, the knife includes on-board blade storage in the handle, keeping spare blades close, protected, and ready.

For day-to-day handling, the ergonomic soft grip helps reduce fatigue and improves control, especially useful when making repeated cuts in tougher materials like carpet backing, heavy cardboard, insulation wrap, or plastic strapping. An integrated string cutter adds quick utility for cord, twine and packaging without needing to fully expose the blade for every small task.

Typical uses

• Carpet fitting and flooring prep

Safety and compliance (UK)
