Bsc Preferred 176180 Retractable Utility Knife 3 Blades

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 176180 is a retractable utility knife designed for general-purpose cutting tasks in trade and maintenance environments. The blade retracts fully into the handle for safe storage and transport between jobs. A quick-change button allows blade swaps without tools, reducing downtime during continuous cutting work. Built-in blade storage is integrated into the handle body, keeping spare blades on hand at all times. Three utility blades are included. This knife is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals who need a reliable, everyday cutting tool.

The 176180 fits into light-duty to medium-duty cutting applications: scoring drywall, trimming insulation, stripping packaging, cutting rope or tape, and general shop use.
