Bsc Preferred 176179 Medium Folding Utility Knife

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 176179 is a medium folding utility knife built for trade professionals who need a reliable cutting tool on the job. The lightweight aluminum handle includes an integrated belt clip for easy carry, and the quick-change blade mechanism allows single-handed blade swaps without additional tools. A stainless steel blade shelf holds the blade securely during use. Five extra blades are included in the package, reducing downtime when a fresh edge is needed. This knife fits into the general hand tool kit for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade pros who regularly cut insulation, sheeting, strapping, or packaging materials on site.

The 176179 is suited for light to medium cutting tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Its folding design makes it safe to pocket or clip to a belt between uses, and the compact form factor works well in confined spaces common to mechanical and electrical rough-in work. The single-handed operation feature is especially practical when the other hand is holding material or working in a tight area.
