A retractable cutter is used for scoring plasterboard, opening packaging, trimming insulation, and general utility cutting tasks on construction sites. The retractable blade helps keep the tool safe when not in use.
The retractable mechanism allows the blade to slide back into the handle, preventing accidental cuts during storage or transport. It significantly improves safety for workers who carry the tool daily.
It can cut plasterboard, cardboard, foam insulation, plastic sheets, packaging straps and thin laminate materials. For metal or cement boards, specialised cutting tools should be used instead.
