Product Information
Full details
The Stanley 99E Trimming Knife Twin Pack is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing precise cutting in demanding environments like workshops and construction sites. Its key benefit is the durable die-cast metal construction combined with a five-position adjustable blade for versatile cutting. A minor caveat is that the blade retraction, while safe, requires a deliberate action which may slow down rapid changes in material type.

What is the body of the knife made from?

Troubleshooting
Blade won't extend or retract smoothly
Check the blade mechanism for debris. Clean with a brush and apply a light lubricant to the shifter and sliding parts. Ensure the blade is correctly seated and the interlock nose is properly engaged.
Blade feels loose or insecure
Verify that the interlock nose mechanism is fully engaged and locking the blade correctly. Ensure the blade is inserted properly and that you are using the correct type of replacement blade.
Knife body feels sticky or stiff
Clean the exterior and internal mechanism with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant on moving parts may resolve it. Avoid over-lubrication.
Difficulty changing the blade
Ensure the blade is fully retracted before attempting to release the interlock nose. Check for any obstructions or bent parts in the mechanism. Consult the product manual if available.

- Always retract the blade fully when not in use and before storing.
- Store the knives and spare blades in the provided organiser to prevent damage and loss.
- Wipe the body with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh solvents.
