We cut a lot in my line of work and these are by far my favorite. The wheel lock is huge so the blade doesn't slip out of place from pressure while cutting.

I like Olfa knives very much but we should mention that blades are proprietary and more expensive than standard universal fit utility knife blades. You may find that local hardware store may not have the blade you need when you need it.

Also the straight snap off blade Olfa you linked is not a good alternative to the true utility with a handle that offers good grip. The linked Olfa is more what would be called a boxcutter.

Olfa does offer one more comparable to these but one cost near $20 and you are still back to the blades being more expensive and less readily available

The pack in the deal is much better value for the average person. I have multiple Oflas and use them but they are more the specialty or craft tool and my standard utility knives are the ones I am using the majority of the time.

These are great knives and depth adjustment is not really needed.

Every depth adjusting knife have tried has failed unless it is of the style without quick blade change..They have some style of push button that releases the blade but every one I tried had the blades pull out under heavy load. I've tried many knives over about fifty years but have settled on the Milwaukee design as the ergonomic and ease of opening are great and the quick change blade lock has not failed on me as of yet

These are well-built, light, small, use standard blades, and installing blades is fast & easy. I absolutely recommend this utility knife.

While there are three different versions of Milwaukee FASTBACK (this, screwdriver/bottle-opener, or blade storage), this version without the gimmicks/extra bulk is actually the best. It is more comfortable in the hand.

If I were forced to say anything negative: The blade it ships with is meh. Don't buy Milwaukee's blades. I'd suggest a box of LENOX Carbon Steel edge Utility Blades, they're like $23 for 50x. While Milwaukee's blades are cheaper, constantly changing a dull blade is also a cost/annoyance.
