Milwaukee 48-22-1512 Self-retracting Utility Knife

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-22-1512 is a self-retracting utility knife designed for cutting tasks across a wide range of trade and job-site applications. The self-retracting blade mechanism engages automatically when hand pressure is released, reducing the risk of accidental cuts during use. Built for repeated daily use, this hand tool is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors who need a reliable blade at hand throughout the workday. At 1.62 pounds, the knife provides a solid feel without adding unnecessary bulk to a tool belt.

The 48-22-1512 is appropriate for residential and commercial job sites where cutting wire insulation, strapping, packaging, vapor barrier, duct tape, and similar materials is part of routine work. The self-retracting safety feature makes it a practical choice in environments where the knife is set down and picked up frequently, such as during panel work, pipe rough-in, or equipment installation.
