Olympia Tools Turboknife X Utility Knife 33-134, Blue

If i could give this product 10 stars, I would. I manage a convenience store and i use my Turbo Knife at least 50x per day. I bought one several years ago because a store had them on sale for dirt cheap so I figured, ah what the heck? This is my 4th Turbo knife, second that I have purchased. I lost my last one a couple weeks ago and have felt naked ever since. I have tried several different types of utility knives and NOT A SINGLE ONE can compare. If i need to open a box, I can whip out my TK that I have clipped inside my pocket and slide out the knife in one fluid motion. One slide puts it back. I have been mourning it's loss ever since I lost it. It was my good little buddy. Always there and always reliable. Before leaving for work, I always check for phone, wallet, keys, Turbo. There are a lot of people complaining on here about how they fall apart, etc. Yes, I have had that problem. My last one randomly lost screws. Obviously the folks didn't read the package before whining on here about it. THEY ARE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE. Remember how I said I have had 4 and bought 2? My first one had the screw that sandwiched the blade disappear. I emailed Olympia Tools, sent a pic and I had a new one in a couple days WITH FREE SHIPPING. the second one had the screws that hold the frame together fall out. I sent a picture with my shipping address- they apologized and promptly sent a replacement. They also advised me to periodically tighten the screws (it uses a T9 torx) I bought a little "Electronics Repair Kit" for $4 at Harbor Freight that has the right size Torx bit for the TK. So every month, I do my TK maintenance- change the blade (by now I've used both sides), wipe the blade slide down, apply ONE drop of 3-in-1 and tighten all the screws and it has never failed me. It is refreshing to see a company stand behind their product 200% and to have a product so good that it disrupts someone's everyday function when you don't have it. Believe me when I say, BUY THIS FREAKIN' KNIFE.

I bought the first of these knives at a local hardware store and carried it EVERYWHERE for two years (and I do mean everywhere, at the time I worked doing weatherization so five days a weeks I was in and out of attics, crawlspaces, kneewalls, under trailers, in trailer ceiling spaces, in basements, and spaces that don't even qualify as "crawl" spaces....more as "slither" spaces), TWO years before one of the little screws worked its way out and I NEEDED to buy another, so I bought two. I got the knife and the slides dirtied up with insulation, and mud, and silt, and rocks, etc. and I just used a little PB B'laster and a cotton swab to clean out the grooves and it worked GREAT. I never had a problem with the slide moving on its own UNTIL that screw came out, then the two sides couldn't hold tension and frankly I just tapped it with a hammer a couple times and that fixed that, for probably a month or so, then another one of the screws started to loosen up, and I reasoned with myself that I had gotten MORE than my money's worth out of the one so I would buy a set and keep looking for the right size screw bit so I could occassionall tighten the screws. (If you can find a torque bit that fits the little screws that hold this together and tighten the screws occassionally, and you clean the slides occassionally, this knife could probably last you just about forever.) Oh, and changing the blade is crazy easy, you just roll back the little wheel that you can see right above the blade in the picture, pull out the old blade, slide in the new blade, let go of the wheel, done.

The utility knife is compact and fits perfectly in the hand. The blade is easy to extend and to retract. Also the blade replacement is easy to operate. I will use it at work tomorrow and if I have any problems I will add them on here

I use this knife EVERY single day. It works so well compared to any of the flip out style knives out there. I used to have an all metal one but I cannot find that type anymore, but, I have grown to like this more as it’s quite a bit lighter in weight. Smooth operation as well. And the slide latch needs to be pushed to the side a little to release the slide. It’s a great feature as my old knife didn’t have that and would slide open in my pocket. Everyone that sees it compliments it and asks where to get one after they try it out. Highly recommended!!

I had a red color one of these from a big box store that I purchased over 10 years ago. I used it in business for cutting open boxes, cutting plastic straps off packages on pallets, etc. Its plastic slide broke off from all the abuse I gave it. This product us much lighter weight, more comfortable to hold, and first impression of being my new favorite. Most important difference is the plastic push out lever requires sideway forward push for it to extend the blade. The old style would sometimes easily extend the blade out without intention for that to happen. Finally, if you want the best safety box cutter, it should require constant pressure to hold open while using and auto-retract-spring action when you release. That automatically prevents the blade being exposed when done cutting. Some business safety rules requires that. One company that I was doing work for stopped my employees from working until we could replace our cutters with the safety spring loaded type of cutter. So far, that was one isolated event in the past 10 years.

This is the only box cutter I will buy. After searching in every store around one Saturday and not finding it, I went on Amazon and had three by Monday morning. They are nice and heavy-not overly heavy, but you feel like you have a good quality tool that will hold up to years of use in your hand. I have one that I've used for 5 years and the new ones I ordered are just like it. Very easy to slide the blade in and out, easy to replace the blade and it works better than any cutter on the market. Don't waste your money on substitutes. Get the one you really want and need. This is the real deal! And the Best Deal. Buy the three pack. You will want one for yourself, for your spouse and an extra to put in your utility drawer.

The knife is a good design that just needed an extra 10% more. It's fine as a bench or tool box knife. For pocket use it kept coming open in my pocket and poking my leg. The mechanism for opening it is just not strong enough to keep it closed properly for an active person. But it's not a bad knife. I'll keep it on my work bench.

This design of utility knife is the one that works best for me. I am an older female who wears a Women's Large or Men's Small glove. So, my hands are not huge. This utility knife lets me cut cardboard down to size for Recycling. The blades are good, basic blades that work well & are fairly easy to replace (not to mention fairly easy to FIND).

Love this tool took a jun to figure it out but now I won't leave it be

Good product

Ok

Excelente!!!

Very disappointed in Olympia. I bought the exact same knife over 10 years ago and the slider finally broke. I was excited to find it online again only to be surprised when it got here and the body is made of plastic now. It's about 3/16 of an inch wider which is a lot for a knife that sits in your pocket. Not to mention the slider looks flimsy as hell and you have to actually push it to the side before you can slide it which is super annoying. The clip is also made of thinner gauge metal and bends easily. Very disappointed with the changes they made but its still a good knife.
