To replace, unlock the autolock, remove the spent blade segment, snap a new 18mm blade segment into place, and re-engage the autolock. When not in use, cover the blade with the protective cap to prevent accidents.

Question 8

How does this Stanley compare to other 18mm snap-off knives available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Two close alternatives on Fepy include the Stanley STHT10266-2 18mm Snap-Off Knife and the Stanley STHT10266-3 variant. Both offer similar 18mm blades with snap-off segments and autolock features, but may differ in grip texture, blade count, or cosmetic design. Compare their product pages on Fepy for specifics and choose based on grip preference and blade availability.

Accepted Answer

The autolock securely holds the blade during cutting and automatically locks when not in use, reducing the chance of accidental blade exposure and improving control, especially for long or precise cuts.
