Don't use stanley knives, use the snap-off blade knives. The blade has

Oh yes? I've had three different makes where just this happens. Because of
the ability to hold several blades the 'hook' is only the thickness of the
blade and lightly sprung loaded in place.


Oh, I never thought it would hold several blades. I only put one in at
a time, and thus it is locked tight ! Or did you mean the spring is so
weak to allow many blades ? I don't think my current one has a spring
anyway.
It metal from B&Q. I'll post what it is when I get home and take a
look.
