Title: Hyde 42005 Carton Cutter
Review: I am a stocker and cut open hundreds of boxes a day at work (usually between 900 and 1500). The blue knife in the picture was a good knife. I was going to order it until I noticed the model number. Hyde has changed to a white knife with black logo. If the color change was all it would be O.K., but it's not. They are now made much cheaper and wear out much faster. It is alright for occasional use or maybe just cutting the tape on a box, but not for cutting the actual cardboard. The casing is very thin and the inside starts to pull into it while cutting. The inside is also not as strong and the retaining end is a little bit narrower. This gives the blade too much room to wiggle up and down and wear through the end much faster. The blue ones used to last me 2 to 3 weeks of hard work. The new design maybe a week if not cutting to many hard cases, otherwise I can wear one out in 1 day. To sum up...It is awkward to use and doesn't last.
Is the review positive or negative?
