YATO YT-75122 18 mm Snap-Off Utility Knife with Zinc Alloy Body, SK5 Blade and Auto Lock

Durable Metal Snap-Off Utility Knife with Ergonomic Handle

The YATO YT-75122 snap-off utility knife is a reliable 18 mm cutting tool designed for packaging, warehousing, maintenance and everyday applications. The knife features a zinc alloy housing, non-slip TPR handle coating, metal blade guide and automatic Auto Lock blade locking system.

The housing is manufactured from zinc alloy, providing strength and resistance to mechanical damage. The metal construction is particularly useful in workplaces where cutting tools are used regularly and durability is important.

The ergonomic handle features a non-slip TPR coating, providing a secure grip and comfortable handling. This makes the knife practical for repetitive cutting tasks in warehouses, packaging areas and workshops.

The metal blade guide supports smooth blade movement, while the integrated Auto Lock system automatically secures the blade position and helps reduce the risk of unintended extension or retraction.

The knife uses an 18 × 0.5 mm SK5 steel snap-off blade, offering good cutting performance and wear resistance. The segmented design allows the cutting edge to be renewed without replacing the entire blade.

The YATO YT-75122 is suitable for opening cardboard boxes and cutting packaging film, adhesive tape, paper and other appropriate materials.

Zinc Alloy Housing for Strength and Durability

The YATO YT-75122 housing is manufactured from zinc alloy, a material offering resistance to mechanical impact.

The metal construction provides additional strength compared with conventional plastic models, making the knife suitable for frequent use in working environments.

It is a practical choice for warehouse workers, packers, installers and other professionals who require a durable cutting tool.

Auto Lock – Automatic Blade Locking

The integrated Auto Lock system automatically secures the blade in the selected working position.

This mechanism helps reduce the risk of accidental blade extension or retraction during use.

Automatic locking is useful when cutting thicker materials or working 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. As these values are inconsistent, the exact specification should be verified before publication.

SK5 Steel Snap-Off Blade

The knife uses an 18 mm wide, 0.5 mm thick SK5 steel blade.

SK5 steel offers good cutting performance and wear resistance, making it suitable for cutting cardboard, paper, packaging film and other appropriate materials.

The segmented design allows a worn blade section to be removed, exposing a fresh, sharp cutting edge.

This helps maximise blade usage and reduces the need for frequent complete blade replacement.

Ergonomic Handle with Non-Slip TPR Coating

The YATO YT-75122 handle features a non-slip TPR coating, helping provide comfortable and secure handling.

The ergonomic shape supports better tool control during repetitive cutting tasks.

The TPR surface is particularly useful in workplaces where stable grip and controlled handling are important.

Metal Blade Guide

The metal blade guide supports smooth blade extension and retraction.

Combined with the automatic locking mechanism, it helps maintain stable blade positioning during cutting.

Compatible with 18 mm Snap-Off Blades

The YATO YT-75122 is designed for 18 × 0.5 mm snap-off blades.

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

Applications & Usage

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

Safe Handling

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