Heavy duty 'auto retract' version of the ReAkta utility knife with aluminium blade carrier and ceramic blade. Blade will not lock in an 'out' position and will retract unless being used. Once you have punctured into the material, you may let go of the lever and the blade will stay out whilst cutting, once finished, the blade will automatically retract back in. The lock switch on the ReAkta allows the blade to be locked into the knife but if an attempt is made to lock the blade in the out position the blade will retract back into the knife.

When it comes to industrial workplaces, ensuring the safety of employees is a top priority. One of the most common tools used across industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics is the utility knife. Choosing the right type of knife can make a significant difference in reducing the risk of workplace injuries.

In this blog, we’ll compare the two, considering factors such as safety, efficiency, durability, and usability.
