What does a snap-off knife do and when do you need one?
A snap-off knife is a cutting tool with a blade made of segments, so you can snap off a segment of the blade once it becomes blunt, leaving you always working with a sharp cutting edge. You need one when opening boxes or cutting cardboard, film, string or other material at the office or at home.

Why this 3-piece set is the right choice
This set from WESTEX contains two 18 mm cutters and one 9 mm cutter, so you have the right tool at hand for both heavier cutting and precision work. The 18 mm version is suitable for thicker material such as cardboard, while the 9 mm cutter is better suited to accurate work on smaller surfaces. Because you have three knives at once, you are also covered if one knife is not within reach.

Honest about the material: plastic housing without metal guide
The housing of these knives is made of plastic and has no metal guide. This makes them lighter and cheaper than models with metal parts, but it also means they are less suitable for intensive daily use in demanding environments. For normal office and home use, where you do not cut continuously through hard or tough material, these knives perform well.

Practical tip for use and storage
Store the knives with the blade retracted to prevent unwanted cutting accidents, especially if you keep them in a drawer or bag together with other office supplies. Always check before use that the cutting edge is still sharp enough, and snap off a segment if necessary for a fresh cutting edge.
