Snap Off Blades Stanley FATMAX STHT2-11818

The Stanley FATMAX 18mm CARBIDE Snap Off Blades (STHT2-11818) are 18 mm wide replacement blades engineered for precision cutting and extended edge life. The blade body is made of flexible steel while the cutting edge receives a tungsten carbide deposit using a patent-pending laser process. This construction preserves first-cut sharpness, resists snaps and reduces the frequency of blade changes for professional and demanding applications.

Advantages

Diamond-ground to produce a sharp cutting edge and finished with a welded carbide deposit, these blades deliver a durable edge that can last significantly longer than conventional snap-off blades. The combination of a flexible steel body and a hard carbide edge maintains cutting performance across tough materials while helping to save time and money by reducing blade replacements.

How to use

Install the 18 mm snap-off blade into a compatible utility knife according to the knife manufacturer's instructions. Extend the blade to the desired length for the task, make the cut using steady, controlled pressure, and snap off used segments to expose a fresh carbide edge. Replace the blade when the flexible body shows excessive wear or damage beyond the snap-off segments.

Recommendations

For best results, use these Stanley FATMAX CARBIDE blades with a robust 18 mm utility knife designed to accept snap-off sections. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and make test cuts on scrap material when switching to a different substrate to determine the optimal cutting technique and blade extension length.
