  • For around $20 the Milwaukee Fastback may just be the best EDC pocket multitool / utility knife.
    Get Your FastBack Here: amzn.to/3QESWru
    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I dig it. Personally the best factor is the locking screwdriver which is something a lot of tools with drivers miss.

    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.

    I bought this knife on accident and it is now in my pocket every single day. I use this thing all the time and have never been disappointed.

    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.

    Grabbed one of these for work a year or so ago, and loved it. Boss and coworkers each received one for Christmas and they love em.
    Replaced my Kershaw for EDC.
    Also, a useful 1/4" nut driver.

    About a year ago, I found one of these at a baseball diamond. Picked it up and tossed it in my toolbox. Never thought about it again. Digging it out now. Going to put this thing to use. Thanks for the video.

    I edc this and I just added the Victorinox compact. 5/5 recommendation for the 1505. I really like the utility blades because when they’re dull you can just scrap ‘em and reload super quick and probably 85% of my knife use is on cardboard. And I found I kept needing a screwdriver which is the main reason I swapped to this in the first place. It’s pretty cheap so you don’t mind abusing it and a really useful minimalist toolset. And I learned a few extra tricks from the vid and the comments, so thx everyone 👍🏻

    I have been carrying a Milwaukee 1501 for 3 years and I loved how slime and fast it was but I just picked up a 1505 and fell in love all over. The 1501 will go into my bag for a backup in the car.

    I bought one and after using it for about a week, went and bought another one.
    They’re just perfect for basic stuff and anything more, you’re now into Leatherman tool territory.
    Great review!!

    I've got 3 1505's around the house and garage, and didn't even know about the spare blade storage. Genius and something I'm going to take advantage of from now on. Thanks for the tip and a great video.

    I love my 1505!! I NEVER go anywhere without it and use it a lot. Absolutely solves most of the needs I have in an EDC knife. I keep a Victorinox Compact and Leatherman Style PS all in the same blue jeans pocket and I can’t even tell they are there. I recently added the rechargeable Fenix PD25R in the same pocket and still have plenty of room.

    @haveyouseengeorgehennen Před 9 měsíci

    the amount of times the screwdriver has come in handy is amazing, everytime i use it somebody complements the knife, definitely one of my favorite utility knifes to carry with me at all times, the reason I'm even watching this video is to see if there was any other knife to purchase 🤞🏽🖤

    Had a fast back for over a year, As a knife guy and an electrician apprentice, this satisfies my need for a pocket knife and my need for a utility knife for work. Keeps my high end knives from getting damaged and is adept at its purpose as a tradesman's best friend.
