Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter

This is nice little cutter for opening packages. This is not a heavy duty box cutter, but works great for light work. There is some confusion about the lock on the back. The lock doesn't not lock the blade from extending nor retracting. The lock keeps the shell from coming apart. Unlock and you can open the shell and flip or replace the blade. If you want a cutter that doesn't automatically retract the blade look for the orange colored model.

Awazing to open boxes. Doesn't have a metal blade, which I love. My kids can use it too, and they really enjoy it. I also love that the blade retracts, and you don't have to worry about it staying out.

Best box opener! The magnet keeps it on my fridge so I don't loose it, which I would do! It fits well in my hand and is comfortable to hold. The cutting edge doesn't cut skin but it will cut right thru tape, cardboard, plastic wrapping and the juice box inside so be careful. This is definitely worth the purchase. The only negative is that the lock doesn't work. I have to hold the blade slider in the out position, but that's not difficult at all so I don't mind.

This is a pretty good box cutter I got the 2 pack and so far they work great and my work likes them as well. Only downside that makes this a 4 star product is that I even though it’s magnetic. If you are right handed me have to use your left hand or just left handed in general it’s a bit awkward to make the plastic blade come out since this was clearly made for right handed people. But other than that and the price since it is a bit pricey it’s overall a good product and works as advertised. Also it’s 100% safer than any metal blade and works as good as a metal blade box cutter.

I mean it, I cannot live without this little gadget. If you are like me, I get a lot of home deliveries now and I keep this right where I can find it to open every box. I even use it to break down the boxes. You can use it on those hard to open plastic shells. The ceramic blade is very sharp and it automatically goes back into the case when you release the thumb button. I gave one of these to a friend at Christmas in a little gift bag full of little gifts like handmade truffles and other handmade items. You know what she commented on, this box cutter. Not the handmade truffles the snow flake ornament or the silicone cooking mat but the box cutter. I was at her house this week for a tea party and right there on her desk is this box opener. I even bought a backup for me because I did misplace it once. So very handy and a great gift.

I've seen ceramic cutters but never used one. I have ceramic knives and veggie cutters that cut very well. I carry a Bessey in my pocket but it is quite heavy so I wanted to see if I could lighten my daily pocket load by switching to a Slice. The Slice size and weight are very nice. It weighs almost nothing and it fits easily in my pocket. It's about the size of a box of square Tic Tacs. ::::The lanyard hole::: It is meant for a lanyard and not a keyring. Lanyard threads will fit but most split keyring holders will not fit. It is tiny and I had to use a single wire ring, with a wire diameter less than 1mm (probably about 0.5mm). ::::How does it cut?:::: It's ok but it's no match for my Bessey . I've been carrying both the Slice and the Bessey for three days and attempted to use the Slice as much as possible. I wanted to see if the very lightweight Slice could replace my much heavier Bessey (7 ounces) for most of my general cutting/opening needs. Unfortunately, the Slice just doesn't have the cutting power nor depth of a heavyweight utility knife. In many cases, the Slice wouldn't cut through thin plastic -- it would only score it (like clamshell packaging). Even with a week-old blade in my Bessey, its metal cutting blade is much sharper and much more effective. For far too many applications, I found the Slice to be frustratingly less effective than a metal cutting blade. I had to forego the Slice for the Bessey most of the time. ::::Sticky packaging tape:::: Certain packaging tape gets tacky in elevated temps and it will stick to a blade. This means you must disassemble the Slice and clean the interior housing and blade. With a utility knife, you just snap the end of the blade. If the Slice is used to cut through lots of tacky tape, it will render it almost useless. When that tacky goo hardens, it's even worse. ::::Bubble envelopes:::: I used the Slice to open a bubble envelope.Not using a flat surface and cutting above the bubbles, it was very difficult to open the package. The small blade kept pushing the mailer away. Using a flat wooden surface and cutting the other end (below the bubbles), the Slice worked much better but only partially opened the mailer. However, it scored the remainder well enough that I was able to pull it open by hand. :::: Regular packaging tape (like Amazon uses):::: As long as the tape is applied to a perfectly shaped and perfectly closed box, it works fine. Along the top, it cuts well. On the sides, if there any irregularities (top is askew, box is dented, etc. ) and this makes the depth required to cut the tape greater than 1/4 inch, then it cannot reach the tape. I used the Slice to open over a dozen boxes and with almost every boc, it left some portions uncut. However, it took minimal time and effort to rip the remainder open. :::: Corrugated boxes:::: Cutting a box into pieces along the fold lines works decent but takes multiple tries. Cutting through the actual corrugated sections is much more difficult. If you downsize (cut) the boxes for recycling, the Slice will do it but it takes a lot more time and effort than a regular box cutter. Don't get me wrong. The Slice is a nice tool for certain applications. It is lightweight and easy to carry. It doesn't have a fixed blade but the retractable blade shouldn't be a big issue unless you must use a blade all day, every day, in your work/hobby. If you don't need a serious cutting tool, get a Slice.

I love these for opening tape on boxes. It’s always where I know since the magnet attaches it to the fridge. I give a lot of these as gifts.

This little Box cutter is the best thing I can use for cutting open boxes. I was a bit tired of Carrying around the larger box knives, and wanted something more portable. It fits perfectly on my keychain, easy to use, and the ceramic blade is built well, and is also great for scoring, easy slide and retract. Opens to the right length and the blade has not dulled yet! I work in merchandising, with a lot of freight coming in. This little gadget is worth purchase. Which is not expensive at all.

Llegó muy pronto mi paquete en perfectas condiciones,muy agradecida

Ich war wirklich positiv überrascht, wie gut dieser kleine Cutter schneidet. Trotz der kompakten Größe geht er mühelos durch Karton, Folie und andere Verpackungen – und das deutlich sicherer als herkömmliche Cutter. Der automatische Klingenrückzug sorgt dafür, dass man ihn bedenkenlos in der Tasche oder Schublade aufbewahren kann. Dazu liegt er gut in der Hand und ist extrem praktisch für den Alltag, ob zu Hause oder im Büro. Für mich ein kleines Werkzeug mit großem Nutzen – klare Kaufempfehlung!

使い易い

Después de un uso intensivo no ha bajado su desempeño solo un desgaste mínimo a pesar de su uso y aún me queda el otro extremo de la cuchilla que está sin aún sin extrenar. Totalmente recomendable. El precio es alto pera vale la pena. Totalmente recomendable
