Is this the right tool for your job?
✕CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TOOL WHEN
- Any operation documented by a written safety program — the 42005 has no retraction and no exposure limit, which is precisely what an EHS policy exists to forbid; that building buys the self-retracting Switchblades (42060/42065) and this razor frame is the wrong tool by policy, not by preference.
- Cutting that involves leverage, twisting, thick strapping under tension, wood, or drywall — the thin unbacked razor folds or snaps where the backed trapezoid 42020 thrives.
- Precision film and wallpaper, where a slim renewable 9mm snap-off tip (42036/42045) is the instrument.
- And brittle-sheet scoring (45730), a different physics entirely.
