Product Description
Milwaukee 9mm Snap-Off Utility Knife
Model Number: 48-22-1963
The Milwaukee 48-22-1963 is a 9mm Snap-Off Utility Knife — a professional-grade snap blade utility knife in the compact 9mm blade width format, featuring an auto-lock slide mechanism for faster, more secure blade extension and retraction compared to standard friction-slide designs. The auto-lock slide mechanism engages a positive lock at each blade segment position when the blade is extended, preventing the unintentional blade retraction that can occur during cutting with standard friction-slide knives when cutting pressure or awkward cutting angles push the blade back into the handle mid-cut — an important safety and performance feature for tradespeople who use snap knives for cutting tasks that require sustained downward and lateral cutting force. The blade locks positively at each extended position until the release is activated, providing secure blade extension at the depth needed for the specific cutting task.
The 9mm blade width is the narrow compact format of snap-off utility knives — smaller than the standard 18mm blade and the wide 25mm format — providing a compact, lightweight knife body that fits comfortably in standard work pants pockets and smaller tool belt pouches. The 9mm format is the right choice for tradespeople who prefer a lighter, more compact snap knife for general cutting tasks including opening packaging, scoring materials, cutting tape and housewrap, trimming flexible conduit jackets, and other cutting operations where the wide 18mm and 25mm blade formats are larger than needed. The snap-off blade design provides multiple fresh cutting segments per blade by snapping off the dull front segment at the blade's score line when the cutting edge dulls, extending the blade's usable cutting life through multiple segments before requiring a complete blade replacement.
Milwaukee's snap-off knife lineup includes 9mm, 18mm, and 25mm blade width models in folding, auto-lock, and heavy-duty configurations — see the full Milwaukee knife range for all available snap-off and utility knife options.
