Reliable Snap-Off Utility Knife with Automatic Blade Locking

The YATO YT-75071 snap-off utility knife is a practical 18 mm cutting tool designed for packaging, warehousing, maintenance and everyday applications. It features an automatic Auto Lock blade locking system, a metal blade guide and an ergonomic handle with a non-slip TPR coating.

The housing is manufactured from ABS plastic, providing a lightweight and practical construction. The additional TPR handle coating improves grip and comfort during repetitive cutting tasks.

The metal blade guide supports smooth blade movement, while the automatic locking mechanism helps prevent unwanted blade extension or retraction during operation.

The knife uses an 18 × 0.5 mm SK5 steel snap-off blade, offering sharp cutting performance and wear resistance. The segmented blade construction allows the cutting edge to be renewed by removing a worn section.

These features make the YATO YT-75071 suitable for opening cardboard boxes and cutting packaging film, adhesive tape, paper and other appropriate materials.

Advantages & Additional Information

  • Auto Lock system – automatically secures the selected blade position.

  • 18 mm blade width – versatile for everyday cutting tasks.

  • SK5 steel blade – sharp and wear-resistant cutting edge.

  • Metal blade guide – supports smooth and stable blade movement.

  • ABS plastic housing – lightweight and practical construction.

  • Non-slip TPR handle – improves grip and handling comfort.

  • Snap-off blade segments – allow the cutting edge to be renewed.

  • Automatic blade locking – reduces the risk of unintended blade movement.

  • Versatile applications – packaging, warehousing, maintenance and household tasks.

Auto Lock – Automatic Blade Locking System

The YATO YT-75071 features an automatic Auto Lock mechanism that secures the blade in the selected position.

This system helps prevent accidental blade extension or retraction during use and provides greater control during cutting operations.

It is particularly useful when working with thicker materials or in narrow spaces where the blade may become stuck.

The manufacturer's technical specification table lists a maximum blade pull force of 20 kg, while the product description states a locking resistance of 20 N. These values are inconsistent and should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation.

SK5 Steel Blade for Efficient Cutting

The knife uses an SK5 steel snap-off blade, measuring 18 mm in width and 0.5 mm in thickness.

SK5 steel provides good cutting performance and wear resistance, making it suitable for cutting cardboard, paper and packaging materials.

The segmented design allows a worn blade section to be removed, exposing a fresh cutting edge without replacing the entire blade.

ABS Housing and Non-Slip TPR Handle

The knife housing is made from ABS plastic, while the handle features an additional non-slip TPR coating.

This material combination provides a practical construction and comfortable handling.

The TPR surface helps reduce slipping, making the knife more convenient for repetitive cutting tasks.

Metal Blade Guide

The metal blade guide supports smooth movement of the snap-off blade and provides additional stability.

Together with the automatic locking mechanism, it helps maintain controlled blade positioning during cutting.

Compatible with 18 mm Snap-Off Blades

The YATO YT-75071 is designed for 18 mm wide, 0.5 mm thick snap-off blades.

Replacement blades must match the required format and be compatible with the knife construction.

Applications & Usage

The YATO YT-75071 utility knife is suitable for:

  • Opening cardboard boxes and cutting cardboard.

  • Cutting packaging film and adhesive tape.

  • Cutting paper and other suitable sheet materials.

  • Warehouse and logistics operations.

  • E-commerce order packaging.

  • Maintenance, renovation and household tasks.

When opening cardboard boxes, extend only the necessary blade length to reduce the risk of damaging the contents.

Safe Handling

A snap-off utility knife is a sharp cutting tool and must be handled carefully.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including protective gloves and safety glasses. Do not overload the tool, use damaged blades or leave the knife within children's reach.
