Watch me upgrade my DIYer loadout tool tote in real time! Riveting stuff here! Knipex, Klein, Channellock, Icon, Wiha, Bosch, Toughbuilt, Wera, Craftsman, Makita, and more!
Allow me to say that I am Milwaukee fan. I am happy with 1505. Thanks for the comparison
Got the Milwaukee fastback and love it. I use it daily
lanyard would be for tieing to wrist or body so not to drop at height
Great run down! I'm a welder/mouldmaker and I daily the fastback. It's not perfect but it's fast and effective. That Toughbuilt looks really, really enticing, though! The Hart and Milwaukee are owned by the same company, TTI. I would not be surprised if they were made in the same factory.
Where did you purchase the toughbuilt knife?
Thank you for this video! If you break down boxes, how does it not bother you that you don't get an entirely new blade when you flip it around on the Milwaukee? It ruins the whole knife for me. I will definitely be getting the toughbuilt for my collection
Where did you find the toughbuilt one?
You carry a measuring tape in your loadout?
I usually just eyeball it! I need to update this video now after using this on several jobs.
I Love my Tough Built bag. Only problem, when it's loaded, it's about 35-38 lbs.
At $10, the Hart is an "impulse buy" for regular people, but the Toughbuilt and Milwaukee would be "no brainers" for folks in the trades. Great review! You style is thorough and easy to listen to.
You'll never guess it...the Hart broke. Guess what broke? exactly as I predicted. Cheers!
I like your commentary style 😊 however my long time favorite is the Lenox for EDC ❤
Thanks man! And nice choice! You cant go wrong with the build quality on the Lenox stuff. Top tier company.
I really like the Klein, i gave 9.99 for it. I gotta laugh at you saying the gimping is too aggressive. They sell a model with blade storage. I like the removeable 1/4" driver. That bit driver is geared towards electritians because we use the shit out of ¼" drivers at odd times. 😆
Milwaukee was the first one i have seen that put the blade release on the opposite side where if your right handed you wouldn't hit it by accident
Hart CLONED Kershaw Select Fire bit flip out storage 1:1 and used a utility blade over a folding blade design. The Kershaw Shuffle DIY also is a great bit driver and knife combo. Walmart is anti 2A and funds lobby groups that appose so I never shop there. Aldi, Dollar stores, etc have better products and service.
It does look very similar. I hope the Kershaw is built better. The Hart bit clip broke already. I also love my Shuffle DIY. But this video was specifically aimed at utility knives with drivers. Love me some Aldi too!
I have this tote and it's fantastic. It's what I use for service calls (Security Industry) I have the Large Rolling Tote as well that I keep my laptop and programming equipment in. I can stack the tote on top of the rolling one and it stays very well. for project work I have a bunch of the Rigid Pro Gear boxes but I like so much of what Toughbuilt is doing Im going to upgrade to the Stacktech system, Probably going to retire the rigid boxes and keep them for my camping gear.
Can’t find the toughbuilt for sale anywhere but AliExpress.
Yup. Ali only. Out of stock at Lowe's and one high priced UK seller has it.
Once you break in the toughbuilt, you can consistently and accurately launch the bit
Subscribed. Love my Milwaukee 1901, but considering this Fastback as well. Carrying the 1901 and the Leatherman Wave give me just about everything I need for pocket tools, but would be nice to leave the Wave at home sometimes.
Yeah, there is a line when it comes to multi tools. As soon as I start thinking about all the things I can carry in my pockets I quickly end up with too much. It’s hard to pare down from a multitool without feeling naked. lol. I ended up keeping my multitool in my backpack, that way I have it nearby if I need it. Some guys might leave it in their glove box. That said, if it doesn’t bother you to carry it, why change? For me, 90% of what I use my multitool for is cutting, screwdriver, and bottle opener of course. So I rarely feel I am missing out with the fastback. All depends on what you do from day to day. Cheers!
I just got the fast back, the newer model with the metal ball and I can't get the blade storage to work, the liner lock seems kinda loose and won't keep the blade in, just falls out, am I doing something wrong or the quality control on the newer models just aren't that good?
thanks brother. I carry the BOKER KALASHNIKOV AUTO KNIFE
I bought the Klein because the pocket clip on the Milwaukee Fastback is wire and I've bent them out of shape several times. The Klein is solid metal. I'll let you know if I break it
Right on. Yeah I like that clip on the Klein. It is the same clip that is on my workpro knives. I haven't had an issue with my the fastback clip yet, but I could see that happening. Especially if a guy is crawling around in tight spaces like a plumber or electrician.
@@NickDoesThings- I drive tri dump for a paving company and labor. I had a Milwaukee Fastback and the pocket clip got caught on my steering wheel getting in and out of the truck. It got bent several times. The Klein hasn't done that yet.
Toughbuilt is my go to love there products!
I'm a big Toughbuilt fan. Lots of innovation in that company.
Carried the fastback for years, and never knew it had that spot for another blade
Its hidden! And they really don't advertise it.
I was thinking about buying the Bow River but decided on the Fixed Civivi Elementum. Looks less like a steak knife.
30 minutes for this video? None of your subscribers have fucking jobs. Thumbs down.
I wish I could find the Toughbuilt. Can’t find it anywhere!
I really want the TOUGHBUILT for the pry bar. I wish the Fastback had a pry bar. I’m going to get a HART for the price,.
Kershaw makes a standard blade knife obviously the point of this video was to highlight utility razor blade stlyes. But the Kershaw “select fire” has a bit storage mechanism identical to that Hart. But it has a driver like the Klein with a magnet. I really like that Kershaw a lot. I just replace the bits with my most used Milwaukee bits. Anyways great video sir!
Just bought this hart utility knife.
I love the Husky. That's my favorite.
I like Milwaukee but their bits suck. I use wiha best bits ive ever found. Ive tried most brand names even snap-on, matco,dewalt an many more i can't remember (or more likely can't spell) lol. what bits do you find very useful. I highly recommend wiha. I changed to them on a 3 level deck build. I was using other brand bits like 5 a day. Bought wiha used 3 bits for the rest of the job and that was because i lost 2 bits on a extention with a broken magnet.
Mayhew. Good brand.
Harbor freight is not a tool manufacturer they are like Mac tools snap-on and other tool truck brands that just rebrand other companies stuff and sell it at a markup.
Finally
Joe Rogan at harbor freight lol
I’ve owned a fastback for a while now, didn’t even notice the blade storage, and I don’t do anything enough drywall work to notice the tape hooking in there blade groove. Thanks for the tips!
For a person like me with a caregivers salary it's the best tool place to shop for all the quick fixes I need lol
For Harbor Freight to be such a small store, I spend hours in there everytime no matter if I'm only going in for 1 thing. I now see how women feel when they walk in their stores.
I was looking for a drywall utility blade, I didn’t knew that the Milwaukee has the little pocket for the end of the tape measure, that’s the little thing made me take the final desition
Right on man! I am glad you got some value out of the vid!
Toughbuilt scraper knife. A pack of 30 blade is half the cost of the knife SHIT VALUE
ooof! that sucks. Cool concept. Hopefully someone will improve on it and find a way to use standard blades.
Hikoki Combi sds grinder bewsh little bag shifters grips boat level few screwdrivers pipe cutter slices knife 14/18" stillies
I remember when they first open up they was known for the tool to last one good job so I did construction I added a few bucks for the harbor freight tool I finished the job the tool broke after I was done now I only shop there they have become the best in tools
I have an older Lennox gold that I love, it had the extra bit storage, blade storage, and a really nice feel, unfortunately the belt clip was trash.
After I made this video I saw that they have one with a bit driver that uses standard bits. I am very interested in that.

Hi Guys!!! Awesome video! Thanks Dude! Hey, for saw blade and file storage, I used a 1" PVC pipe about 12" long with caps on the end (no gluing). I hammered one cap on and the other cap, I cut several slits in it to make it easy to get off without falling off. And, for bit and other small item storage, I've found several good plastic boxes in the fishing and craft sections at Walmart. 🙂
Right on man! The pvc pipe hack is a good idea! I am constantly looking for little boxes and storage solutions of bits and blades. I recently ordered a bunch of small containers off Temu. They should come in super handy
the Lenox mechanism is just like my Irwin and I do not like it. The Fiskars Pro is amazing piece but has no screw driver, still i use a no name knife which is a twin blade too. But, hey. The Milwaukee is on my bucket list.
oooo yeah, the Fiskars knife is legendary.
Milwaukee was over $35 on Amazon last weekend
ooof! forget that! I am not sure why, but for some reason the price on those knives fluctuates all over the place. But just go grab one at Home Depot or Ace Hardware. I never see them for over $16. The one that is in this video came in a 2 pack for $20 on a deal.
24:24 The Hart is the same tool as Milwaukee it’s just the brand is meant for cheaper pricing and it’s commissioned by Walmart the manufacture is TTI. All HART tools are Milwaukee tools it’s just name differently just for Walmart.
Yeah, I know TTI acquired heart a few years ago to fill out their hand-tool line. But just because the same conglomerate owns multiple brands, doesn't mean the brands are the same. Different companies with different engineers and designers using different materials to different tolerances, manufactured in different places (most typically). Half the power tools at HD are TTI, but they are still different brands whose differences are more than the color of plastic. Although, sometimes you do find some that are just a rebrand of the same product. Thats always funny. Red must be an expensive color! 🤣
Toughbuilt knives are the best, i have the one that takes a magazine and the one that flips the blade to become a scraper.
such a cool design!
I am a milwaukee fanboy but the only thing I like about the klein is how you can lock the blade at 45 degrees I guess you would say.
That is a nice feature. For some stupid reason, when I shot this video I did not realize that. I had just been flicking it open so I didn't catch it. I pinned a comment about it when I discovered it. It is a useful feature of the Klein for sure!
That one bit looks like a PlusMinus/Pozidriv and looks almost like a Combination tip used in in the US in electrical outlets, panels, etc. I'd be interested to see if that would work. Couldn't quite tell from the video if it might work.
It will sort of work, but not well. You would be better off just using a square or slotted. However, Wiha does make a tip for that exact fastener you are referencing. But it is only sold in American markets. So because I purchased this from Europe, it was not included. I did order one on Ebay though. I might make a short follow-up to this video talking about these tools after a bit of use.
