Safe Home Cutting Tools - Introduction
We often have cutting tools around the home that are easily reachable by children. Knives, scissors and razor blades are common household tools but can also be very dangerous to adults much less small children.
Fortunately there are some innovative tools available for safe home cutting chores. Let's take a look at some of the available tools designed for laceration reduction.
Safe Home Cutting Tools - Utility Cutter
An exciting new and versatile safe cutting product is the Klever Kutter distributed by Safecutters Inc.
The Klever Kutter can be used to cut boxes, paper, twine, plastic wrap among many others and features a unique hammerhead shape that protects you from two cutting blades. It is also dishwasher safe, brightly colored to be easily found in your utility drawer, inexpensive at about $2 and is child safe!
Safe Home Cutting Tools - Utility Knife
The Lewis K710 Locking Utility Safety Knife has an automatic locking safety hood to cover the blade, has adjustable blade exposure and a key feature is that the blade hood covers the blade once cutting is complete. An instructional video describes the features of this tool.
Safe Home Cutting Tools - Box Cutter
The Glorex Safety Cardboard Box Cutter features a spring loaded cutting edge which is activated by a friction wheel sensing a surface to be cut. Once the surface to be cut is no longer available, the cutting blade retracts.
An instructional video describes this box cutting tool.
An essential home cutting tool is the scissor. But getting a safe pair usually meant having children safety scissors which were less than, well, robust. But now there are some options including the Safe-T-Guard scissors made by Martor.
These scissors feature plastic guards that protrude just slightly above the cutting surface to prevent lacerations.
OK, not a home cutting tool per se, but an essential household safety tool is the car seatbelt cutter like the Salvex 538 as manufactured by Martor.
If you are ever in an accident that requires you to cut yourself or your child free from a seatbelt restraint, you will need a tool like this. It also comes with a special hammer tip to break automotive safety glass if the door is not operable, so that you may escape the vehicle.
The sharp cutting blade is well protected from the hands of small children and a tool like this belongs in all car glove boxes.
