Yes, especially when you need a specific amount for workers or need it for a one time job. Disposable utility knives are disposable alternatives that are a couple of dollars cheaper and take the hassle out of changing the blade when it gets dull. They can be purchased in bulk packs and are great for home or professional use. When you don’t want to bother with the specifics of assembly, blade changing or complex locking mechanisms, then disposable utility knives are the way to go. The only downside is that they won’t be as heavy duty as the regular options. So special grip options or comfort handles won’t show up as part of the features when getting these models.
