Stanley 10-189C Self-retracting Utility Knife

Product Description

The STANLEY 10-189C is a self-retracting utility knife designed for professional tradespeople who need a safe, reliable cutting tool on the job site. The interlock mechanism automatically retracts the blade when cutting pressure is released, reducing the risk of accidental contact. Weighing 0.35 pounds, it is lightweight enough for all-day carry without fatigue. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely keep a utility knife on hand for cutting insulation, strapping, sheathing, and cable wrap.

The 10-189C is suited for residential and light commercial job site use. It is a single-unit tool appropriate for belt loops, tool pouches, and tool bags. The self-retracting design makes it a practical choice in environments where blade safety is a priority, including occupied buildings, multi-trade work areas, and service calls where tools are set down and picked back up repeatedly throughout the day.
