Pacific Handy Cutter S5R Box Cutter | Heavy Duty Utility Knife, Tape Splitter, & Film Cutter | 3-Position Retractable Box Cutter with Easy Blade Change | For Right Handed Users

I used these box cutters for 7 years at my old job, and I loved them so much, I bought one for myself. Fits more comfortably in my hand than any other box knife. Very good grip and positive control. Cleverly designed and very functional. The tape splitter on the tip means you don’t have to dull your blade as quickly, or risk cutting yourself or whatever is inside the box. The cutter in the end of the handle is also a super handy tool for cutting nylon packing straps, shrink wrap, strings, etc. There’s a small hole in the handle if you’d like to add a tether. Blades are extremely easy to replace, and there’s a compartment to keep a spare blade handy. They may be a little pricier than other box knives, but they withstand a beating and are absolutely worth the cost!

I've been using the S5 box knife in a retail environment for a little over 10 months now, and I can honestly say it's the best box knife I've ever used. Most of the "box activity" in my work life is simply slicing open tape seals on boxes, both to stock items and break boxes down. With the standard-issue retail box knife, you first have to slide the cover off before you cut the box open and slide the cover back on after you're finished. (Well, I suppose you could leave the cover off if you wanted to add a few new words to your vocabulary!) You have to do this twice with a typical box. With the S5, the attachment built into the knife above the blade eliminates the time it takes to do this as well as the possibility you'll cut yourself in the process of retracting the blade on the old-style knives. The tape cutter attachment on the S5 works on the normal Scotch tape as well as the security tape with thread shippers like Amazon use to seal boxes. You could use the blade if you wanted to—and it's certainly there if you need it—but it's not necessary most of the time. I also use the shrink wrap cutter when I'm breaking down skids. As much as I've used it, the cut is still buttery smooth and doesn't get snagged in the shrink wrap like a standard knife would. I also appreciate the fact that, having spent a lot less time getting the blades of the old-style knives snagged in shrink wrap, this has entirely eliminated the errant busted milk jug disasters as a result of blade slippage. That's at least 30 minutes of cleanup, so the S5 has actually saved me a couple hours. The shrink wrap blade on the S5 is completely sealed, so it's impossible to slice through anything. I'm also using the lanyard and knife holster with my S5, and both work perfectly until the little clip that holds the knife in the holster breaks off and the knife falls out every time you sit down. Just know if you're considering the holster that the small piece that holds the knife in will probably break off. Overall, this thing is amazing. I can't believe I'm writing such a glowing review of a box knife, nor did I ever think that would be something I'd do. That said, this thing just works, and you should get one if you work in a retail store and want something that's leaps and bounds above the knife your store will give you.

I used to throw freight at a grocery store, they provided this knife and I’ve never looked back. Years after leaving that job, I still prefer this model for use and seek it out specifically. It feels so light as to feel flimsy, but I assure you its not. I used to use metal box cutters but prefer the weight of this plastic green one. Sounds nerdy but its worth looking up a YouTube video on this, there are a LOT of cutting methods available with this tool beyond the a-typical pop the blade out and slice open the box. This includes a special end to cut through really tough pallet wrap cords. Blade storage is very handy. Changing the blade out is a breeze. I also like the guard on this one, it protects the blade and my flesh very well. The guard is one of my favorite features, often time I just use the guard to open the tape on boxes, not even the blade all the time (as I said, reference a video.).

Bought a few of these over the last few years and it's great. Works exactly as described and great tool. I use it to break down boxes for recycling every week. It has a spot in the handle to store a few extra blades, which is handy. It's not hefty but not flimsy either. The light-weight design is better and easier than heavy metal ones in my experience. Had it for over a year now of weekly use and no issues. Bought a few of these as follow-up purchases just to have spares. Only thing less than perfect is it's a bit tricky putting the blade in, but not enough to cause major annoyances. Price is good, construction is good, works as designed. Would definitely recommend.

Moving from the S8 ambidextrous cutter with two annoying guards to this much nicer safety cutter with a single guard has been huge for speed. I open a couple hundred cases of product a night with many of them being drinks in shrinkfilm so being able to switch to the film cutter and just quickly open them rather than have to carefully do it with the box cutter has been great. Film cutter works well to safely unwrap pallets as well, even when film is bundled together. One issue though is blade storage, if you drop it there is a high chance it will pop right open possibly dropping blades. Update 7/8/25: I've ordered two of these now, one I gave away and the second I now need to finally replace. The blade on the film cutter began to go (entirely my fault, hitting the edge of cans while cutting off the film) luckily these come in packs of three for less than a new entire S5R however the mechanism inside that holds the film cutter in place rather than flopping around will likely break before the blade itself needs to be replaced (which is what has happened to me) so its likely smarter to just buy an entire new S5R about once a year.

Use it pretty much every day. I used to use this brand for work and used them for years. Decided to buy one for home use and it's fantastic! The blade lasts for years and seems to never wear down, but when you need more blades they are cheap and you can also just flip the blade around they give you. Sadly this one doesn't give you extra blades but there is a blade holder in the back of the device. Good grip and design. Great safety knife and perfect for cutting open boxes or making fine cuts.

Smartly designed with some great little features. It's not your typical box cutter. The blade has different depths you can select. There's even a plastic cutter in the back.

Muy fan de estos cortadores aún que perdí el mío 😿

Ok well, where to start. I decided to purchase a box cutter because I cut a lot of boxes at my work place. Due to the good reviews, I went ahead with this one even though shipping was reasonably expensive. This cutter is of decent quality but it feel light and some may think that is an issue in terms of toughness. Well that didn't bother me much because the lighter the better. The blade is sharp enough and plastic cutter is really good. The tape splitter is ok but not great and you may need to eventually use the blade. Biggest disadvantage here is that it doesn't come with a spare blade even though it shows that on the pictures. I didn't know who to ask since when I go into my orders and try to ask, they only give me option to return since it was sold by Amazon US. I think that's a big disadvantage that they force you to buy the blades later, however, I still think this cutter is of good quality and may last a while. That's my own opinion and would love to know what others think
