Stanley Knife

About this product

A Stanley knife, the basic retractable-blade knife that no roofer or general tradesperson works without. On the roof it cuts felt and membrane to length, trims laps, scores and snaps insulation boards, opens packaging and does the small cutting jobs that come up in a day.

The blade retracts into the body when not in use, which keeps it safe in a pocket or tool bag, and blades are replaced in seconds when they dull. A sharp blade is a safer blade: it cuts clean without the force that leads to slips, so keep spares to hand and change them often.

Pick one up alongside your felt, sealants and gloves, and keep one in the van and one in the bag so there is always a knife within reach.
