Real feedback from people using the Addison auto retract utility knife for day to day tasks
Rated highly for feel and convenience
You can tell it is well made the grip feels secure and the action is smooth. I use it at work for boxes and it has held up really well so far.
The blade retracting back in makes a big difference. I can throw it in my pocket without worrying and it is there when I need it.
I mainly use it for parcels tape and zip ties. It is small enough to keep on me and it cuts clean without feeling flimsy.
The keyring hole is what sold it for me. It stays with my keys so I always have it and it has already saved me a few times.
I expected it to be a novelty but it is actually sharp and precise. Opening packaging is quick and the retract feels reliable.
I have had cheap cutters before and they always feel loose. This one feels premium and I like that it comes with extra blades as well.
