- For around $20 the Milwaukee Fastback may just be the best EDC pocket multitool / utility knife.

Check out a little something we have been working on: fortwild.com/
We are breaking down every function on the 6-1 Fastback and renaming it after it's serial number to the 1505. With replaceable blades that can instantly sharpen your knife to a hidden blade carrier and a great driver/pry tool I really don't think this tool can be beat! I have been carrying and using the 1505 religously and break down all of the goodness and why you should probably try this thing out! If enough of you guys like this video we will do a full mod on this sweet knife to make it even cooler!
That's the best milwaukee ever made..it makes every other $20 purchase seem silly. I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of using the flat as a pry 🤦♂️. Also you get huge props for making a PB & J with it.
LAUGHED at that bit, 🤣
The pb&j hurt my souls but cleanup was easy😁
I use the flat as a prybar way more often than I do as a screwdriver. My only complaint is that the spare blade can sometimes be a PITA to get out.
@@zacinthewild I think the PB and J test is a good way to know if you are carrying a tool or a piece of pocket art. Not many pll would allow peanut butter to enter the pivot of a Sabenza.
Shit be like 60 bucks on Amazon for Au. got so sad when i realised
Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to carry this or any other box cutter through TSA. I tested this just 2 months ago. I brought a cheap, lock back box cutter with no blades and no blade storage. To ensure this didn't create issues with my carry-on bag, I placed it separately in a TSA tray through the X-ray machine. They immediately confiscated it. I asked them if it could go through because it was not a cutter. Without a blade it's a handle, and the one I had was only 4 in long. The supervisor insisted it's a box cutter and can't go on the plane. Whether or not this is correct, my experience suggests the only thing you'll get by bringing this tool in your carry-on is losing a $20 tool.
Brother, I’m sure the TSA just robbed because they wanted it for themselves. It’s such a great knife 😂
I forgot I had mine, showed them that I was throwing away the blade before getting to the scanners, and got it through no problem.
I’ve flown with a bladeless utility knife on numerous occasions. Sometimes it’s required a discussion with the TSA agent, but I’ve always been allowed to pass with the “non-knife” in my possession. That being said, I fly with an inexpensive “mass market” tool (Fastback, Gerber) instead of my bespoke Maker Knife, “just in case.”
Just buy one when you land
I’ve gotten through with mine with no issues on several trips. They just pulled it out of my backpack and verified it was indeed bladeless
I'm a construction worker and I've had many utility folders. The 1505 is by far the best one I've had. Plus it's the best feeling in your hand compared to the compact and aluminum handle one. I still carry another knife if I need a longer blade. I have bent the pivot screw on the screwdriver from prying but other than that it's a gem.
Had this piece of shit for 3 days before it broke!! js
@@brandonishere7166 Where did it break?
The two or three I've owned have all been pretty solid, but I don't really use mine for prying much.
What do you think about the small workpro utility knife
Great video, Zac - love the actual raw utility of multitools for EDC. Now if the Milwaukee crammed a set of pliers into it, it might dethrone the skeletool...
This has been my go to pocket knife for around a year now. I’m a chef so sometimes I need to cut up boxes, or screw in a loose screw in a walk in door, or open 11 beers after a brunch shift. This knife is the best!
Could you help me out?
Do these knives have metal liners?
Yes the inside of the knife is lined with metal.
used this knife for the exact same thing but as a line cook. knife served me damn well till i lost it
The fast back is my EDC. One thing you didn't mention is that if you remove the bit completely, it's a 1/4" driver for socket head screws. So you can tighten things down or a lot of furniture that uses socket head screws use 1/4 heads. I do plan on getting the 6-n-1 version with the knife blade as well.
@Kenny Dion Not only that, but add a 1/4" drive drill bit or two to your kit, and you can effectively drill holes by hand... Comes in great for pilot holes in softer materials.
Just wish the 1/4” bit holder had a magnet
Hose clamps
@@epgreen131 maybe drill a small countersink and superglue a small .3 mm magnet
I added a neodymium magnet to the bit holder and can use any 1/4 bit now
I’ve had it for about a year. I use this more than any other knife I’ve ever carried. Having a screwdriver at all times is so unbelievably useful. Go buy one now you won’t regret it.
As a construction worker i can vouch for that thing. I do drywall and I usually use a full size knife to cut drywall because its more comfortable in my hand but this folder works just as good as the big full size ones. And when im not hanging rock its so nice to have because it just flips out fast and easy for quick cuts. I love that thing
Hell yeah I want to see customization ideas! My friend just gave me one the other day. I put a carbide blade in it and can affirm that it’s a great utility piece that has pleasing fidget appeal as well with the flick open and flick closed. I noticed he’d been carrying one for a while… well. They went on sale and he bought 4 more and one had my name on it. I love the push button that locks up tight in the in and out position. I agree that tip up carry would be a nice upgrade by moving the pocket clip. Glad to see this tool getting some screen time! Sub’ed!
I really dig this idea of calling it the "1505". You heard it here first from Zac, folks! Also, absolutely killer idea to travel with a utility blade. Taylor Martin actually did this recently and used a non-sharp blade. TSA was cool with it.
TSA is a racquet.
I've been using this knife for over a year and just found out about the extra blade storage. Thanks for making this knife even cooler
I got that one and the one with the fixed blade. Love then both so much
Dude! Me too! Wtf
Had this knife in my pocket for 3/4 years and never knew about the extra blade either. Learn something new every day🤷🏻♂️
Does it have metal liners ?
@@kylethedalek yeah
That's some insane value for only $20! The button lock + multiple tools makes it worth WAY more than just $20. Seems like a great tool to throw into a toolkit in your car or backpack! Great review as always!
If you buy one, you'll find yourself throwing it in your pocket over your $100 knife. The only issue with it is the weight. Other than that, great EDC tool.
I'm a maintenance worker and I love this tool it saves me carrying extra tools around. It gets plenty of jobs done. They can't stay on the shelf in my area. That hex bit comes in handy taking apart fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer, HVAC ect. This is my go to for quick fix solutions.
Roberto . I have been carrying one for two years . And I worked in machine shop and done maintenance aswell and know going to school for HVAC . I carry a small tin box well mm allen and torx , 1,2,3 Phillips and Malco bit , 1/4 socket adapter as well as small ratchet and 4" crescent and knipex xs pliers.
Wera kk20 is also a must.
Absolutely love the 1505. I filed off the nub under the pocket clip of mine to get it in and out of the pocket easier. It's my EDC backup and I often find myself reaching for it more often than anything else because it's so freaking useful.
So useful!🤘
My really only complaint is too tall a clip 'nub'.
best tip ever, just did mine.
Been EDCing mine since Milwaukee released it, and I love it. Also, 7:35 you can get a little more cutting surface by using the Lenox Gold blades that have 4 notches on top to extend the blade out a bit more.
Oooooh, that’s a nice tip, I’ll have to check out lenox blades now. I’ve been using fisker blades lately. Those things are insanely sharp!!
As a water and wastewater plant operator and mechanic this set up answers everything I love it
No it’s ok.. you can easily close the locking bit driver one handed, by pushing it against your thigh, like I do with the bit driver on my leatherman wave. It’s just as easy.
I dig it. Personally the best factor is the locking screwdriver which is something a lot of tools with drivers miss. It is still quite chunky though so no real slim carry there but that is the trade off. Personally I don't love the wire stripper given that I'd like to move my finger there and I know it's probably safe but it just makes me uncomfortable.
My head definitely did a semiconductor take when I was wiring stripping. Totally safe just got to get the brain used to it😁 the locking driver should be standard with any multitool driver even though it’s not.
I keep one of these and a small bit box in my pocket 24/7/365. I have a small DeWalt bit box I carry 15-20 other bits I frequently use. This one tool and one accessory has replaced an entire tool bag 75% of the time working as an HVAC tech.
i work in construction and i freaking love that 6 in 1 it’s so good. i like how you can also open the bit driver halfway to get more leverage on 1/4 bolts
Same! It was a little Mitch so I didn’t include it here. Glad to hear you’re using it!
@@zacinthewild Love it and im glad to see im not the only one. Thanks for the tip on using the flathead as a prybar too i didn’t think of that.
I’ve been carrying one of these for close to 2 years and it’s never let me down. I’m a landscaper so it gets pretty beat up and filthy but it never gets gummed up or sticky and still opens like it’s brand new. Couldn’t ask for a better edc for even close to that price. I also keep one in my cars at all times.
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ruclips.net/user/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
My crew discovered these last year and everyone loves them. Aesthetically, I wish the open angle was a little less to give it a forward curve, but it's never hindered its performance. Also, I'd love to see if you can add to or change the scales. When I had mine off I found a lot of cut outs that were too difficult to copy, so I just painted it blue.
If you love the flipping action but don't need functions other than the knife, try the Irwin Pro-flip. It's got more of the angle you might be looking for.
@@EDC_Soldier probably somewhere in the middle, but the Milwaukee has all the tools, too.
I loved the 1505 even before seeing your review! This video made me appreciate it even more. I’m a huge fan of Milwaukee too so the red handle is fine by me, but I’d still love to see your video on customizing the handle! Thanks
I would like to see that project come to life… that said I don’t think I have heard an idea Zac mentions that I wouldn’t want to see happen.
Thanks man!
For anyone curious, the utility knife Zac is holding near the start is a Gil-Tek RUK V2. Gil-Tek also sells pocket clips for them which makes them feel a lot more like a full on EDC knife, in, fact, I have mine in my pocket as I watch this. The Fastback looks cool though, they seem super popular online, I just wish I could carry one but they are unfortunately considered switchblades where I live. That's the flipside of the legality aspect you mentioned, people have gotten in legal trouble with that opening style utility knife (I'm thinking of a particular case from NY before they repealed the gravity knife laws). Also on the RIT dye front, I have seen Fastbacks dyed black with success, so it is possible. One interesting side effect was the Milwaukee logo stayed paler so it still stood out, although I think the modder used regular RIT and not synthetic RIT, I'll be interested to see how yours turns out.
Milwaukee's fast back line is outstanding especially the utility blade line. Great content, again!
I carry my 1505 fastback with a fully serrated blade installed and a semi or non serrated blade in the spare slot. It's got me through a TON of tough spots as a maintenance technician.
A customization follow up video would be awesome Zac. For some reason I hate the color red, but if I could change that and file down the logo, I would love to pick one up and start carrying it for work. Great video as always. Keep crushing it.
Red color hater here as well.
They make a metal version you could cerakote
Sand and paint.
The logo you see in the thumbnail is just screenprinted on so it could be easily removed, however the reverse side has an embossed logo (with no ink) that couldn't be filed down without filling down the whole casing. Just an FYI.
@@gabrielbaker2667 this can be cerakoted, either C cure or set over to 150
i will now definitely be upgrading m fastback to this model. love to driver aspect.. would love to see a video on modding/dressing up the scales. keep the amazing content coming.
I have been carrying the 1505 for more than a year now, and I have gotten so many people into making their edc the 1505! Simple but Awesome!
well i am not a construction worker but for actual EDC the best EDC utility knife imho is the Tirant Razor V3 #realedc , i just made a cutting test video on my channel . the emphasis is on EDC . not only for work hours .
I'm an electrician and love this knife. Only thing I'd change is make it take at least 2-3 extra blades and have an option to pull it out a bit further, since the blade has two notches on the top. Otherwise it's perfect!
Mine actually lets you do that. Play with it more and see if you can get it.
The driver side is also a 1/4” nut driver, which comes in handy doing hvac
I was just going to add the same comment ahah
I’m an industrial electronics technician/ electrician and I’ve used many folding utility knives over the years. For me, my absolute all time favorite is the Milwaukee Fastback 48-22-1500. Way more slim but only 1 blade. That’s all you need. Carry spares in your toolbox or job box or packout case. I’m deep into edc and have always considered a higher end blade holder but if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
I think a huge part of this is the bit holder, but thinner is indeed nicer.
Ok can we please ban the bottle opener feature on all future gadgets, EDCs, multis? Unless there’s some fancy hipster domestic bottler of beer or soda still employing those kinds of bottle lids, why do we need it? They’re mostly twist-off now. Aren’t they?
this utility knife is what got me into knives in the first place. I started carrying one at work cause i needed it and once i got use to having it all the time i quickly realized that outside of work i was constantly grabbing at my pocket looking for a knife. One of those things i never realized i needed, but now i can't live without it
I made the switch about 20yrs ago after carrying a heavy-ass Leatherman in my teens and early 20's.
I think that thing fell out of my pocket and almost got lost more times than I actually USED it, tbh.
Shit! I didn’t have to abandon my old utility knife before going on my trip. In my panic I didn’t think dumping the blades would get me thru TSA. I his it under a trash can. When I returned it was gone.
I love the fastback. Also you should check out their pocket knife. It’s a really solid budget button lock. It’s only 7cr but I’ve got really good cutting performance and decent edge retention. I believe that’s because it has good hollow grind geometry. I really enjoy your channel ! Keep up the great work brother 👍
Thanks man! I’ll check it out👊
The one I have is a button release with a liner lock. Do they make one with just a button lock? I thought that was what I was purchasing until I got in hand.
@@davidgierlinger4689 honestly I can’t remember 😂. I gave it to a co-worker but was impressed by how well it sliced !
Not surprised, its Milwaukee. Of course is good dare i say Near perfect👌🏻
Im buying one tomorrow
Who carries full sized utility knife and pry bar in their pockets.. this is getting ridiculous.
it’s not a full sized utility knife did you even watch the video? It folds in half and is the size of a pocketknife
Me brotha.. me. Toughbuilt has a folding utility with a mini pry bar. Then I have this fast back. I usually have both on me. You just never know man
Been carrying it since it came out and I drop a 5/16 bit on my pocket. Drops right in and is great length for hvac work.
Love this knife had it since it came out and it’s still very rigid and despite the screw bits corroding it still comes off/ on fine. As a carpenter I also like to have the Purdy foldable paint scraper tool in my pocket along with a good leather man on the belt and when not at work I’ll keep one of the slim push up utility cutters that uline makes or at the check out of some hardware stores, tucked behind my wallet
A great upgrade to the knife is to use carbide blades! They are super durable and noticeably sharper, almost like a scalpel! Well worth the extra cost. You’re going to thank me later.
the Fastback is 100% the greatest working knife that has ever been made.
Totally agree!👊
I love this knife and carry it daily on the job. It has one major flaw in the collet ring that secures the screwdriver tip. The tip will jam in place or cannot be reinsert when removed.
Hoping for a minor redesign
im a rough in plumber and this knife has been on my person since it become available. ive used every feature except the wire stripper. ive used the phillips to unscrew shower valve covers and have used the slotted end to eject wood slugs from hole saws. i like that i can open it one handed. i can close it one handed as well. great knife. good video as well
I’ve had this one , I purchased at Home Depot , last one , very underrated fidget
its* (sorry I had to lol)
But nice video review
Gas Station Lawyer......
who need a bottle opener? Everything has a hammer side and bottle opener side.
you can close the locking screwdriver with one hand if you try hard enough
I've always enjoyed the 1502.
Can’t wait for the custom fastback vid
I'm a Painter and in love with this knife. I don't need to carry a putty knife as much, since that flat head has proven to hold its own as a scraper and pry bar. Excellent tool any construction worker should be carrying!
Can you test Milwaukee hardline knife in d2 stell
Looks really useful, i just wish it didnt look so ugly
Hey Zac, great vid! I’ve carried the “1505” for a long time, I carry it every day as an electrician. I never knew about the blade storage in the handle. Thanks man now I like it even more.
ive had this knife in my pocket for months now, upgraded from the bare bones fastback and i didnt realize you could carry an extra blade until watching this. todays a good day
You guys really take utility knives serious huh
20 dollars plus shipping on ebay if you need one
Had one for a while now. Pretty genius
This is my "EDC" knife 99% of the time since it came out.
For ME, it checks all of the boxes:
* Fits SECURELY in my pocket.
* Easily opens and closes with ONE HAND.
* It's not overly heavy or bulky and isn't so small that using it is awkward.
* 100pk of replacements blades widely available and quicker than sharpening.
* It's BRIGHT RED -- so it's hard to lose....and you're only out like $20 if you DO lose it you can grab another one at any ACE Hardware or Home Depot.
* I'm not carrying a "KNIFE" on me when I go places like schools and county facilities for work. It looks like a tool.
* The screwdriver/bit driver function is ACTUALLY useful if you don't have a REAL screwdriver within walking distance.
(...and if you find yourself needing something other than 1/4", slotted, and #2 Phillips for the things you do, you can easily pop in another 1/4" drive bit.)
When I'm using it during WORK, I already have an entire van full of tools and don't need any little gimmicky extra 'features' added on, generally I'm already going to have the right tool for the job in my Veto bag or on the vehicle.
On my DAYS OFF, I'll pair it with a 125mm Cobra Plier and a small flashlight (if I'll be gone long enough for it to get dark on me).
Worked well enough to install a replacement light fixture for my cousin after a niece's birthday party the other day...and move a striker plate for my Mom.
If I need more than THAT, then I'll go get the right tools for the job and/or do it later. I generally keep a pretty solid set of tools in my hatchback or my pickup.
Typed my reply BEFORE watching the video - you hit on most every reason why this knife is great and it's (basically) only two drawbacks: Not a full-size blade and not ambidextrous.
Welcome to the 1505 community !
I thought I was the only psycho carrying this thing around... Glad to see other people love this knife as much as I do.
that Pb and J scene is right out of a horror movie!
Yes! Customize it!!!
in canada the fastback is the main secondary carry everyone usually has a fixed blade main.
i've been using my same old full metal fastback since 2019
I have no trouble closing the driver with one hand possibly because I've handled a lot of liner locks.
Agreed
This knife is hands down my favorite EDC knife. As an electrician, it's the best knife made, it's rugged enough for every day use, always convenient, doesn't take up too much space clipped to my pocket, just really convenient. I had the knife for a year before I realized that you could stash a spare blade in it, just damn! I've always been a fan of Milwaukee, and this cinches it even more. I have 3 of them, one for each car, and one to carry. My local Home Depot had them on sale for $14.00 a while back, and after I purchased my first one, I immediately went back and bought 2 more. Definitely my go-to EDC knife now!
I like carrying a utility blade because sometimes I find something I want to cut that I don’t want to mess up my nice carry knife on, but a utility blade is totally disposable so if I need to cut a wire or something I’m not hesitant to use it.
Been carrying my 1505 for about 2 years now. I literally couldn't imagine walking out my door without it. I find myself using it more than my pocket knife, but my pocket knife still gets plenty of use. My EDC knife is a Gerber FAST 06 I believe, in coyote tan. My wife got it for me for father's day 4 years ago, and I have used it every day. It's big enough to do solid work but not too big to be too bulky. Not bad for a $70 knife at the time.
After I watch this video，I purchased this 1505 fastback knife！Today，I got it，omg！I love this budget tool！It will be my EDC from now on
Now if you've done any research on EDC utility blades, chances are you've come across way some better EDC utility blades.
I've carried mine for the last two years and love it!!! I worked as a furniture repairman and now as a general handyman and I carry it every day for work. I did take it apart the other day to do a deep cleaning and noticed that the button that holds the blade in the knife was actually broken which explains why it felt more lose when cutting stuff. I need to buy another one but $20 is a perfect deal for such a great tool. My furniture boss always was showing off his knifes to me and when I told him that I have one with a screwdriver he would make fun of me cuz I would whip it out and save a trip to the tool bench. haha I did lose the bit that it came with about a year ago so i just put another small philips in but I miss having the flat head. like i said ill probably go pick another one up here soon to replace my old one. the screwdriver was a huge selling point to me just wish it had a pair of pilars tool haha but i guess thats what my leatherman is for.
I’ve been keeping my eye out on this one. Yesterday when I saw they lowered the price to under $10 at Home Depot, I grabbed it.
I do water treatment for a living and use my fastback every day to cut tubing and pry things with it. Love that knife. Also didn't know it had a place for an extra blade that is awesome. Great review sir🫡
carry this everyday and use it for work, really is the best one out there. only thing that would make it better is if it held 2 or three in the handle instead of just one
I am a technical field supervisor and i carry the Milwaukee 15-05 with my Leatherman wave+ and my multimeter and a roll of electrical tape. This combo is majority what i use and sufficient to get the job done.
The TSA stop me one time because I had Allen wrenches in the bottom of my backpack. They pulled the Allen wrenches out and it went through the scanner just fine. I get off my plane in Florida get my bag go to the hotel and dump everything out of the bottom of it and found 2 live 30-30 rounds. Oops. TSA is garbage at their job.
Love this thing. Also you can open the driver halfway to get a little more torque if you need it. It doesn't fully lock in that position but it's not been a problem.
YES! I was thinking back when I watched you do the leatherman video, that I hope you find this great knife! I’ve been using it for a year now and it’s the best $20 I’ve spent! At work it saves a lot of trips to the truck when you need a screw driver! One year of everyday use and I’ve had no issues with mine at all!
Don't lose the screwdriver bit as they are impossible to replace. Great tool. I have hundreds of Milwaukee 5x blades. They are really sharp.
Fastback is my edc. I get excited whenever I see them on the shelf. Taking out the blades to fly is genius. You can probably slip the blades into your shaving kit so you can reassemble it after you arrive at your destination :)
Why is Zack not in the wild? Why is Zack dressed like he serves conventional grade grade coffee pour-overs while camping in the city campground
I'd like to see them offer an option with a regular blade. But, I already carry 2 or 3 regular blades at all times, so I can see this one as being extra handy for packages. Plus, I like the idea of a folding, locking pocket screwdriver that doesn't have the bulk of a pliers-based multi-tool.
It is Red.
Milwaukee finally launched the 1505 in Australia this month!
In 2010 after losing two Kershaws, a Smith and Wesson folder and a CRKT totaling over 200 bucks, on a whim I bought a red Milwaukee knife at Lowes for like 11 bucks. It had a gray push button to unlock the blade so it could open with a quick flick, a seatbelt cutter notch, came with a pack of regular blades and a pack of carpet hooks.
I still carry that knife almost every day. Sometimes ill pocket a fancier knife if I'm going somewhere I want to be more stylish, need a fuller blade or where a big red boxcutter just doesnt fit. But 12 years later I still carry the 12 dollar boxcutter I got at lowes. Put a screwdriver on it, a bottle opener, a flashlight and radio. Don't care. Long as the fastback I've got works that's the one I'll carry.
Carpenter here, have carried one of these ever since I saw them hit the racks at depot. I love this knife!
As somebody who runs arlund a warehouse fixing machines all day (and needs to be up in 4 hours instead of watching youtube), this is amazing. Ordering one right now. 3/4 of the repairs can be done with that and a set of channel locks
nice .. i have a ck3000...
razor blade.. standard blade with serrations.. flat and phillips bits... out of production ..
Had one in my pocket a little almost 2 years now. With heavy use, I never had an issue until last week when the Phillips bit shattered tightening a screw on my grill. It owes me nothing though, great knife.
For my job I often put registration stickers on vehicles. I used to carry a skeletool cx which was sufficient to undo plate frames to tuck the stickers under, then the blade easily scores the sticker as theft deterrent. I currently carry a wave+ as my daily but keep the 1505 in my pocket for the stickers. The fact that the bit driver is actually a center drive like the gerber armbar vs the in-handle holder on the wave+ and skeletool makes it much less awkward to undo plate frame screws, especially the ones really close to the part of the trunk where the plate lights are. Occasionally the reg stickers will be stacked which makes the whole thing super easy to steal, so i tend to pull the blade out and scrape off the old stack before putting on the new one.
All in all, for $20 bucks this thing outperforms my wave+ for that very specific use case. I would also like to mention that the driver soft locks at 90 degrees so you can actually get quite a bit of torque on it for those stubborn screws. It might just be me and my tiny hands but I can one hand close the driver with my right hand, thumb on lock and fold back with index. SInce it isn't a blade I'm not too concerned about the driver touching my thumb as its coming down. Its not the most comfortable motion but it can be done.
I would have bought this one, if they didn't make it out of plastic. Bought the 1502 instead.
I mean, what were they thinking? Every Fastback they make has a metal body, so they just decided to take this ONE variant...and make it out of plastic. What overeducated egghead in their strategy meetings came up with that idea?
I’m a plumber and have carried the Milwaukee Fast back for over a year and it’s still like the day I bought it. Locks up great, still flicks out easy, and gets a great “user patina” from the hard use. Will always recommend it to blue collar workers.
For food you can have a Victorinox Huntsman (Huntsman just because it is almost the perfect one, smal and big enough, saw, scissors, knives, wine oppener, awl, and lucky you have two important screwdrivers at your Milwakee better that Victorinox is having).
I absolutely love my Fastback and try to talk everyone into getting one. It’s brilliant and super comfortable to use. Can’t wait to see you make new scales for your Fastback and post a video about it
Excellent, informational, honest review. I'm going to buy one today
Super handy tool. Awesome value.I feel like if it were just a hair thinner it would be perfect for edc. The compact folding knife is also surprisingly good.
