Back in 2010 I'd cut every seam with a standard utility knife, but after a job in Denver where the homeowner pointed out a frayed edge, I switched to a hook blade for everything.
Has anyone else made that switch, and what's your go-to blade brand now?

Ever try a snap-off blade for those long, straight cuts?

Oh man, snap-off blades are a total trap for that. They feel precise until you hit a slightly tougher spot in the material and the blade flexes. I've watched people ruin a whole sheet of laminate because the blade wandered on a six-foot cut. You get this wavy line that's impossible to fix. For anything longer than a foot, I'm clamping a metal straightedge and using a fixed utility knife every single time.
