    This seems like a simple task to some, but it's tutorial videos like what this gentleman makes that are the backbone of modern society. Thank you.

    Thanks for the detail instructions! It seems simple, but it fell apart after I took the screw out to change the blade and I couldn't for the life of me get back together. Your tutorial is fantastic.

      @@zapyawhereithurts Same here, thanks Nick. I took the screw out and the rest of it fell on the ground. I gave up and put it away and decided I needed to find out how to put it back so I could use it. Thanks very much.

    Your video was the most helpful one that I could find for this task! Especially with the camera angle facing inside the hardware of the device, so I could see how the blade fit into the sliding switch. Now, thanks to you, I am that much more independent with tools. 😁 👍🏻 THANK YOU!!

    Thank you for the instructional tutorial video. If you have never had to replace one because you are new to this this type of knife, this was a clear, close up video. You did a wonderful job for those of us who because of serious life events, like the death of a mate, have had to learn new things. Thank you again.

    I appreciate this so much! I had some heavy carpets that I am taking to the dump and they were too heavy for me to carry so I went down to my late husband's workshop and I found what is now my very favorite tool! It cut the heavy wool carpets like a charm, and your visual explanation is perfect! Thanks so much, Nick!!

  • @jimmylibyewing4898
    @jimmylibyewing4898 Před rokem

    I so very much appreciate you making this video. I am a Semi-Tool Savy female. I have a STANLEY 10-499 that I could not get to retract or move out to cut things. I messed around looking at other videos of how to put new blades in the Quick Change Stanley, but not one of them showed the inside and how to place the 'blade holder" in correctly. Every time I thought I had it fixed, the sliding mechanism wouldn't move. I was getting a little frustrated, but after watching your video, I saw that I had placed the blade and holder too far back on top of the little teeth that moves the blade in and out.Just moved the blade and holder to the front of those teeth and WALA! Works great now and I can get rid of the foil sheath I had made to cover the blade that stuck out and wouldn't retract.

    Thank goodness for this. I brought my utility knife into a store when I needed new blades and the fellow there gave me a package of very long blades with those ridges to snap them off. No wonder I couldn't do it, they are the wrong blades! Now I know what to buy.

    Thank god for videos like your. As a girl and a smart person. Ppl take for granted that a task like this should not need videos. But I don’t use my box cutter often, so I have been using the blade it came with since I bought it. It finally broke, and I needed to put new one in. ( good to also know I can flip it thanks to ur video!) I put new one in, and it’s working. So thank you for making a video that does really help everyday ppl!

    Brilliant video! It's baffling to me that some companies don't make tutorials on this. I guess they are banking on people getting frustrated and buying a new knife instead. Mine was a little different (Trojan brand). It has a hard plastic cover with a switch you push to "change" to get the cover off, then it has the screw underneath. Just thought I'd share for anyone else who has a different design like me.
