Description The DeWalt DHT010998 Retractable Utility Knife is a robust, non-folding site knife designed for smooth blade changes, controlled cutting and reliable day-to-day performance. Built around a tough cast alloy body with a refined slider mechanism and on-board blade storage, it is engineered to withstand demanding jobsite conditions while remaining comfortable and easy to use. With quick push-button blade release and textured grip points, this retractable utility knife is a dependable cutting solution for trade professionals and serious DIY users. Blade change and slider performance The DeWalt DHT010998 features a smooth blade install system with a push button release for fast, straightforward blade changes. This allows you to replace dull blades quickly without dismantling the knife or wasting time, helping you maintain productivity on site. A pressed steel slider with an added spring delivers a smoother, more positive sliding action and an extended slider life cycle, ensuring the knife remains responsive and reliable even after prolonged use. Durable cast alloy construction The knife is built with a cast alloy body that provides excellent strength and impact resistance while maintaining a solid, well-balanced feel in the hand. This rugged construction is designed for jobsite toughness, coping with knocks, drops and everyday wear in construction, maintenance and industrial environments. The durable housing helps protect the internal mechanisms and stored blades, contributing to a long service life. On-board blade storage For added convenience, the DeWalt DHT010998 Retractable Utility Knife includes on-board storage for up to five blades. This ensures that fresh blades are always close to hand without the need to carry separate blade packs, reducing downtime and keeping your workflow smooth. The integrated storage also helps protect spare blades from damage and contamination in dusty or damp site conditions. The knife is supplied with 1 standard utility knife blade so it is ready to use straight out of the box. Grip and cutting control Textured grip points are incorporated into the body of the knife to enhance control and stability during cutting. These areas provide a secure, non-slip hold, particularly useful when wearing gloves or working in less-than-ideal conditions. The combination of ergonomic shaping and textured surfaces supports precise, confident cutting in both long straight cuts and shorter, more detailed work.
