Irwin Vise-Grip 18mm Bi-Metal Blade Standard Snap Knife (2086102)

The Irwin Vise-Grip 18mm Bi-Metal Blade Standard Snap Knife (2086102) is a high-performance cutting tool designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand safety, precision, and efficiency. Featuring a patented auto blade lock, this knife automatically secures the blade in a fixed position, preventing it from slipping or being pulled out of the knife during use. The bi-metal blade is a standout feature, as it's engineered to be shatterproof and to last up to three times longer than traditional carbon blades, providing a consistently sharp edge for a wide range of cutting tasks. The knife's design prioritizes convenience, with a hinged end cap that swings open for easy blade reloading and a snap closure that keeps it securely in place. The handle also features a convenient internal storage compartment, allowing you to carry up to three spare blades, so you're always prepared for the job. The stainless steel blade guide adds to the tool's longevity by resisting rust and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance over its lifetime.
