A Knife With a Self-Retracting Blade Is a Safer Knife

Indeed, these handy tools, favoured among mail room supervisors, office managers, and shipping and receiving personnel, are so flexible that some prefer the more general labels "utility knife," "safety knife," or, at the very least, "package opener." Given the advances in safety that manufacturers have achieved, the term "safety knife" may make the most sense. Many of these little blades now include in-handle blade storage, quick blade replacement, ergonomic grips, and auto-retracting blades, among other safety features. These advancements make safety knives beneficial for anyone who often works with packaging, which is the vast majority of us. The stockroom's safety knives have been relocated to the living room.

They are, of course, useful for everybody who gets mail.(If you made an online purchase in the recent year, you should have one on hand.) A travelling supply kit would be incomplete without a self retracting safety knife. However, here are other domestic applications you may not have considered:

- Clamshell container.

Everyone who shops has experienced the difficulty of attempting to open some of today's "safety" packaging. Pliers, scissors, and kitchen knives are all used to extract the light bulb from the plastic packaging, frequently with unpleasant results. Why not carry a knife intended to "break the casing" fast and painlessly?

- Food storage bags

We all have to deal with food packaging, from the thick plastic wrap that encloses six-packs of bottled water to the tortilla-chip bag that you can't open without sending flying chips everywhere. Safety knives make things simpler in the kitchen. They are intended to open it without spilling it.

-Bags of fertiliser

These gardeners' favourites are difficult to open, and for good reason: you don't want that stuff on your hardware store floor. You'll never have to worry about it if you have one in your home tool belt or gardening gear.

- Bags for pet food.

With a safety knife, those difficult, large bags will be much easier to carry. Rather than ripping them apart and allowing your pet to sneak a bite in between meals, a safety knife will create a lovely, thin, clean cut. If only it could assist you transport your groceries from the grocery to your car!

- Gift wrapping

Every family has at least one: the aunt or uncle who wraps things so tightly (for long-distance travel or the mail, or simply out of perversity) that no one can open them. They'll make Christmas morning a lot less stressful.

- Do-it-yourself furniture packing From the stapled-together boxes to the plastic straps that hold the boards in place, your new bookshelf will be as difficult to get out of the box as it will be to construct. They can significantly reduce the amount of time required for rapid assembly.

- Yarn and knitting Sewing scissors don't last forever. If you're a dedicated knitter, why not save your hand muscles the pain by purchasing a safety knife?

- Microsoft Windows. Considering purchasing new windows? Make sure you have one to assist you in getting them out of the covering.

- Clothing labels

- A fishing line.

- Planting flowers.

- Flower stores

You get the picture!

Gardeners, shoppers, handymen and handywomen, pet owners, eBayers, and others should all keep a safety knife (or three) on hand.

They're ideal for the tool shed, garage, kitchen, or home office, as well as your gardening supplies or knitting bag.
