Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Westcott Saber Safety Cutter reduce the risk of injury compared to a standard box cutter?
The Saber uses a steel blade box plunger design that limits blade exposure during cutting, reducing the chance of accidental cuts to hands or damage to box contents. This makes it significantly safer than open-blade utility knives for box opening tasks.
What is the cutter's handle made of, and how durable is it?
The handle is constructed from ABS plastic reinforced with glass-filled nylon, which provides high impact resistance. This makes the cutter durable enough to withstand drops and daily use in warehouse and shipping environments.
Does the Saber Safety Cutter include a built-in ruler?
Yes, each cutter has both inch and metric measurement scales printed on the body, allowing quick measurements of packaging materials without needing a separate tape measure or ruler.
Can the blade on the Saber Safety Cutter be replaced?
The Saber Safety Cutter is designed as a disposable-style cutter. With five units in the pack, worn cutters can be replaced from stock rather than requiring blade changes.
What types of materials can the Saber Safety Cutter handle?
The steel blade plunger is designed primarily for opening cardboard boxes, cutting shrink wrap, banding, and slicing through standard packaging materials. It is not intended for heavy-duty cutting of thick or rigid materials.
