Product Description
Milwaukee Self-Retracting Utility Knife
Model Number: 48-22-1512
The Milwaukee 48-22-1512 is the Self-Retracting Utility Knife — a Milwaukee safety utility knife that automatically retracts the blade to the closed position the moment cutting pressure is released, providing automatic blade protection that eliminates the accidental contact with an exposed blade that occurs when a standard utility knife is set down between cuts or carried with the blade extended. The self-retracting mechanism requires the operator to maintain forward cutting pressure to keep the blade extended during the cut — when the cut is completed and pressure releases, the blade retracts immediately without any manual action required. This automatic retraction is the safest utility knife operating mode for environments where the knife must be put down frequently between cuts, where multiple people work in close proximity, and for operators who want maximum protection against the accidental laceration risk of an extended blade during the pauses and distractions of active construction and trade work.
Milwaukee builds the self-retracting mechanism for the durability and reliability that daily professional use demands — the retraction spring and mechanism must operate consistently through thousands of daily extend/retract cycles without weakening or failing to retract. The knife accepts standard utility knife blades for cost-effective replacement when the blade dulls. The self-retracting format is the appropriate specification for environments where safety regulations require automatic retraction, for new or occasional knife users, and for any tradesperson who prioritizes maximum automatic blade safety in their everyday carry utility knife.
