Klein Tools has launched a new auto-loading retractable utility knife that reloads with a double-sided blade magazine.
The ejectable magazine has two sides, so that you can load different types of blades such as standard and hook-style.
Klein says that the design lets you “eject, flip, and reload the magazine to switch blade types in seconds.”
It has an auto-loading slide mechanism.
The magazine lets you can store up to 10 standard-size blades in the utility knife.
The knife ships with (1) magazine with 5 standard and 5 hook blades. Additional magazines (model 44308BL) will be available and loaded with 10 standard blades.
Price: $22
We’ve Seen this Before – Kind of
Klein’s utility knife looks to build upon ToughBuilt’s Reload utility knife concept – see ToughBuilt Reload Utility Knife Review – Fun & Functional.
Lowe’s clearanced out the ToughBuilt knife 2 years ago – ToughBuilt Reload Utility Knife is on Sale for $7 (save 65%).
Maybe Klein Tools and Toughbuilt are working together on the new Klein auto magazine-loading utility knife.
