Milwaukee Tool 48-22-1962 Snap-blade Knife 7 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-22-1962 is a snap-blade utility knife built for trade professionals who need a reliable cutting tool on the job site. The knife features a steel snap-off blade and a black and red plastic handle with a metal lock mechanism. At 7 inches overall length, it is compact enough for a tool pouch while providing enough grip for controlled cuts through drywall, insulation, roofing felt, and similar materials. The blade measures 0.02 inches thick, offering rigidity for straight, clean cuts. Licensed tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction will find this a standard addition to their everyday carry.

This snap-blade knife suits residential and commercial job site use wherever a compact, lockable cutting tool is needed. It is well suited for scoring duct board, trimming pipe insulation, cutting wire ties, opening packaging, and other utility cutting tasks common to HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades. The metal lock style holds the blade securely extended during use and allows controlled snap-off of worn blade segments to expose a fresh cutting edge without tool replacement.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before snapping off a blade segment, retract the blade fully into the handle and use a designated blade-snapping slot or snap-off tool — never snap blades freehand. Dispose of used blade segments in a puncture-resistant sharps container per applicable job site safety requirements. Keep the metal lock engaged whenever the knife is not in active use.
