Essential Safety Box Cutter Using Tips

1. Keep the blade sharp

The sharp blade is neat and easy to use. The blade is blunt and easy to pull, so the blade will slip off and your fingers will break. If the blade becomes blunt, please replace the sharp blade in time and put the blunt blade in a safe and thicker container.

2. Shorten the blade

Most safety cutters can choose the blade length freely, keep the blade length as short as possible to avoid injury. We have a safety utility knife with two dicing blades. It can be described as the best way to shorten the blade, one slider for the fixed blade, another for auto-retractable.
