Stanley STA010088 150mm Side Slide Retractable Blade Utility Knife

When you need a dependable knife for day-to-day cutting—opening boxes, trimming materials, or cleaning up packaging—a lightweight tool that feels stable in the hand makes all the difference. The Stanley STA010088 150mm Side Slide Retractable Blade Utility Knife is built for exactly that: practical, controlled cutting without unnecessary bulk.

Its moulded ABS body keeps the knife light while still standing up to regular jobsite and workshop use, and the steel blade carrier supports the blade firmly so cuts feel steady rather than flimsy. With a side-slide mechanism and five adjustable blade positions, you can set the blade depth for safer, cleaner cuts—ideal when you’re slicing tape and cardboard one moment and trimming sheet material the next.

Blade swaps are quick thanks to a tool-free blade change system, helping you get back to work fast when the edge dulls. The knife is also designed with blade storage, so keeping a spare close to hand is easier (depending on how you stock it for your team or van). Supplied with one utility blade so it’s ready to go straight out of the pack.

Best for

• Warehouse and despatch: cartons, strapping, shrink wrap

• Site and trades: plasterboard face paper, insulation wrap, general trimming

• DIY and home: packaging, craft materials, light sheet cutting

Safety and use tips
Always retract the blade fully when not in use, use the shortest blade setting that still completes the cut, and replace blades promptly to reduce snagging and slips. Store and transport responsibly—this is an age-restricted cutting tool in the UK.
