What happens here

The host explains that the internal 'divots' or notches in the blade mechanism allow for precise adjustment of the blade's exposed depth. By pushing down on the slider button with the thumb, the blade can be locked into various positions. This feature is crucial for safety and for tasks like opening boxes without damaging contents, allowing only the tip of the blade to protrude.

Goal: This step explains how to adjust the retractable blade's depth using the slider, enabling safe and precise cuts for different materials.

What they say

Hide

screw it back down and you're ready to use it another nice feature about this utility knife is the retractable blade these divots right here are actually how you set the retractable blade to the depth that you want for instance if you wanted to cut boxes you don't have to have the blade out this much you just simply take it to that right there and now you're only going to cut the top of the box or cut the tape off the box the way that you want to to use this utility knife you're simply going to take your thumb and you're going to push down a little bit on this button and that's going to allow you to go up and you'll be able to feel the divots right when you start to slide it back it'll want to just pop in place and that'll allow you to get the depth that you want
