Cuttermes ks tools 907.2175 — 18 mm intrekbaar mes, metalen behuizing

ks tools utility knife 907.2175 is a compact cutting tool with an 18 mm retractable blade and a durable metal body, designed for workshop, construction and DIY tasks. The retractable blade provides secure storage when not in use, while the metal housing increases impact resistance and gives a stable grip for accurate cutting. The knife supports quick blade changes to minimise downtime and is intended for cutting materials such as cardboard, drywall, plastic sheeting and other similar media.

Advantages

The metal body improves mechanical strength and wear resistance compared with plastic-bodied knives. The 18 mm blade format balances cutting width and manoeuvrability for general-purpose tasks. A retractable mechanism keeps the blade shielded during transport and storage, and the design allows fast blade replacement without tools. The overall compact footprint and solid construction make the tool suitable for repetitive use in workshops and on site.

Suitable for

• Cutting cardboard and packaging materials
• Trimming drywall and plasterboard
• Cutting plastic sheeting and insulation
• General workshop and assembly tasks
• Hobby and DIY projects

Key specifications

• Blade width: 18 mm
• Blade type: retractable, replaceable
• Body material: metal
• Blade change: tool-free quick change mechanism
• Intended use: cutting soft to medium materials (cardboard, drywall, plastic)

How to use

Hold the knife by the metal body with the cutting edge pointing away from your hand and slide the blade out to the required length using the retracting mechanism. Position the blade on the material and apply steady, controlled pressure while guiding the cut along a straight edge or marking. Retract the blade fully when moving between tasks or storing the tool. Replace the blade once it becomes dull following the manufacturer’s blade-change procedure to maintain cutting performance and safety.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, when cutting. For thicker or denser materials, use multiple light passes rather than excessive force to reduce risk of slippage. Store the knife with the blade retracted and out of reach of children.
