Thanks for watching!

[@RedWingedBlackbird]

Thank you man, I'm sure this is common knowledge to others but it's my first time using these types of blades and was struggling to understand how to do it. Cheers!

[@t.sobressairb.1096]

Not common knowledge for me either. But it is now. When you know better you do better. 👍

[@brentgoddard8858]

This is the type of tutorial we need for everything! No promoting, no bs, just pure advice and kindness, thank you

[@SDsimplelife]

Exactly what I was thinking. I found this video on google, but had to go over to youtube to give the video a like!

[@XxRandomHeroxX9]

My wife came up to me just now to do this for her. I had no idea these were a thing. And then I hear this wonderful accent.

[@blgolpe]

I just watched two other videos telling me to use pliers, and here you come show me the right way. Thank you.

[@jubs1533]

I didn't even realise the blades snapped off - I thought the lines were decorative!!! The information in this video has transformed my life, haha.

[@TaitaFan]

Thank you for posting this and being so nice about it 😊 blades make me nervous, so to know this is nice and easy is greatly appreciated!

[@Clint-g2v]

WOW.. I am so embarrassed to say I didn't know this is how it worked. I was going about this all kinds of wrong. Thank you for posting this video (even if it was 7 years ago!).

[@felicityhall1595]

Thank you for this. I've had the same box cutter for a couple of years now and I know the blade was supposed to snap off but I never could get it to. I was just going to keep using it until it wouldn't cut anymore and it was about to that point. I had no idea the end had that groove in it but it did the trick.

[@liberty68123]

THANK YOU! My inability to understand hand tools is truly an accomplishment. I appreciate you sharing this information.

[@blondeinjeans1423]

Well my life just became exponentially easier. Thank you.

[@jenalee76]

Thank you. This video still giving out help! I’m 48 and didnt know.

[@duggie1982]

Thankyou - nearly lost a finger and thought i'd better watch a youtube video first, simple and easy

[@tik2276]

Omg thank you so much! I've been searching for my pliers for a week 🤣

[@simonbpuk2949]

Well i never knew that, originally i thought the part you take off to snap the blade was the knives front end where the blade came out, it hurt when the blade came out the other end into the palm of my hand, oh well you learn something everyday, thank you.

[@209iqra]

OMG It's so simple and handy. Why I didn't know it before.

[@njw1383]

Wow how did I not know this!? Great video, thanks

[@anevay8914]

thanks!! i had no idea there was this little thing on the bottom to snap it off easily :)

[@alexgamez24]

Thank you so much, it's been my problem until now🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mullerpotgieter]

Quick, concise and helpful

[@skaizun]

I've been using such hobby knives for years and never knew the trick! Until your video, I've been using a needle nose pliers! (silly me!) ;) Cheers, mate!

[@pigeonthatlikesred]

Omg thank you, I was struggling way too hard trying to figure this out it's kind of embarrassing, but at least I have the knowledge now.

[@nmwellnessnm4436]

Thank you, I knew there was a way, I seen it once being done but I couldn't remember, child hood memories of watching my father work

[@douglasott2241]

Thank you so much I thought maybe the grooves we're to snap off a piece wasn't sure tho but the plastic piece in the end I had no clue about thanks for the video

[@jackiefuller3459]

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

[@connorhalleck2895]

i have had one of these forever i didnt know you could do this now i will have it forever even more! (and without a dull blade this time)

[@barbaramills7429]

That was really helpful info that no one tells you!

[@maggiejarzemska8029]

[@genlikestoast2954]

[@MrSpunkinz007]

Thanks for the advise, typically I seem to have the only blade in production that doesn't have this slot. But thanks anyway I'm sure it will come in useful in the future 😊

[@milliebird9934]

[@cmjones83]

I had no idea this was a thing. Thanks!

[@de6hl]

Never knew this until today 😅 Just bought a boxcutter and saw you're supposed to extend only one section out while using it written on the back of the box. I wondered why there are sections and here I am

[@temmie4230]

this helped so much thank you!!

[@DriveCarToBar]

works on my Scotch branded snap-blade knife. Had no idea thats what that was for!

[@apeyrose]

Very helpful 👍

[@Mono_rnn07]

I was struggling so much, I even thought that maybe my blade couldn't do that. Since it's a cheap one I thought maybe it just had the lines for decoration. I feel so dumb realising how easy it is

[@nancypenner1856]

Mind blown!

[@alexb.poetry]

Awesome ! thank you !

[@wowandrss]

I carefully used a hammer to break it on a tiny edge lol, this is way easier. Thanks.

[@dondonmarion664]

[@PastelSunsetChannel]

Thanks mine was getting dull… 😁

[@standingtallnz4277]

Thank you!!!

[@Blackcain]

This video was 7 years ago. The new snap off blades no longer have that little slot at the back. To save cost I guess

[@miguelg1370]

[@YumboYack2521]

[@laulauourga]

Mind blown

[@em0_tion]

And always snap the blade facing away from you, not towards your eye. 😉

[@Pandasbeats808]

Some have only one way you can cut it I just failed and broke the thingy to break it off so now I gotta use my finger
