Stanley 10-401 Light Duty Hobby Knife

Product Description

The STANLEY 10-401 is a light duty hobby knife designed for precision cutting tasks that require control and a slim profile. Built for detailed work, this knife is suited for scoring, trimming, and cutting lightweight materials such as balsa wood, paper, foam, vinyl, and thin plastics. At 0.07 pounds, the 10-401 is lightweight and easy to handle during extended use. It is the type of tool kept in a trade pouch or toolbox for fine detail work where a full-size utility knife would be too large or unwieldy.

The STANLEY 10-401 light duty hobby knife is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians use precision knives for trimming wire insulation on delicate conductors. HVAC technicians reach for hobby knives when cutting gasket material, foam tape, or duct insulation facing. General contractors and finish tradespeople use them for scoring drywall corners, trimming caulk lines, or detail cuts during finish work. The compact size makes it practical wherever fine, controlled cuts are required.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Always retract or cap the blade when not in use to prevent accidental contact. Replace blades when dull rather than applying excess pressure, as a dull blade increases the risk of slipping. Blade changes should be performed carefully using a blade removal tool or folded cardboard to avoid direct contact with the cutting edge.
