WEDO Cutter Safety 18 mm 2-in-1 787018 — A Standard Snap-Off Cutter and a Safety Cutter in One Tool
18 mm snap-off bladeStandard cutter or auto-retractBreak-off device in the handleMetal body, TÜV / GS
The WEDO Cutter Safety 18 mm 2-in-1, article 787018, is the one cutter in WEDO’s range that does both jobs. Used as a conventional knife, the 18 mm snap-off blade pushes forward on the standard ratchet lock and stays where you put it for long cuts. Used as a safety cutter, the spring-loaded blade retracts into the handle the instant it loses contact with the material. The body is metal with a rubberised grip zone and a metal blade guide, and the break-off device for snapping a used blade segment is built into the handle rather than being a separate tool to lose. It measures 186 x 22 x 38 mm, weighs about 170 g and is TÜV/GS certified. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This model uses an 18 mm snap-off blade, not the trapezoid blades of WEDO’s pure safety cutters — so blades are not interchangeable with the PROFI 78845, PROFI PLUS 78850, Premium 78815 or Plus 837 78837. No spare blades are included: the cutter arrives on a blister card with one break-off blade already fitted, so order a pack of 18 mm replacement blades alongside it. There is no cutting-depth wheel and no blade magazine in the handle. Note also that while WEDO specifies this cutter as silver and black, several retailer listings describe it as black and red; the manufacturer figure is the one we follow.
Best For
✓ Mixed work — short safe cuts and long ones
✓ Warehouse, dispatch and stockrooms
✓ Trades, signage and print finishing
✓ Users who already work with 18 mm blades
✓ Sites that want one knife instead of two
✓ Anyone who snaps blades rather than swaps them
Key Features
Two cutters in one body
Push the blade out on the standard lock and it behaves like any conventional 18 mm snap-off knife, holding position through a long continuous cut. Leave it in safety mode and the spring-loaded blade withdraws the moment it leaves the material. That is the whole argument for this model: one tool covers the cut that needs a locked blade and the cut that should never leave one exposed.
Break-off device built into the handle
Snapping off a used blade segment is done with the device integrated into the metal body, so there is no separate snapper to hunt for and no improvising with pliers. That matters because a blunt segment left in use needs more force, and more force is how cutter injuries happen.
Metal body, metal blade guide
The housing is an ergonomically shaped metal body with a rubberised grip zone, and the blade runs in a metal guide rather than a plastic channel — which is what keeps an 18 mm blade tracking straight once the tool has been in a tool bag for a year. At 186 x 22 x 38 mm and around 170 g it is the longest and lightest of WEDO’s metal cutters, and it carries TÜV/GS certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Most workplaces end up with two knives: a safety cutter that management bought and a cheap snap-off knife someone brought in because the safety cutter could not do the long cuts. This model exists to stop that, and it is the more useful buy for a mixed workload precisely because the standard mode is a proper locked blade rather than a compromise. The built-in break-off device is the underrated part — it is what makes people actually advance to a fresh segment instead of pressing harder. Just budget for a blade pack, since none is included.

Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
Your work mixes short cuts where an exposed blade is a hazard with long cuts that need a locked blade, and you would rather carry one metal 18 mm cutter than two knives.
Skip it if
Your site standardises on trapezoid blades, or your safety policy requires a blade that can never stay extended — the PROFI 78845 and the lever-operated 78837 are the models for that.
Also consider
A pack of 18 mm snap-off replacement blades, the WEDO belt holder for cutters (7880199) to keep it on your hip, and the trapezoid-blade WEDO safety cutters if you need a pure safety tool.
