QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you ever seen a folding utility knife like this one? What's the most common task you use a folding utility knife for? Would you make any changes to the design?
I love mine. It's replaced my normal daily carry knife. What I like about it is I can be really rough with it, without worrying about obviously dulling my everyday carry blade. I have also been able to use the 1/4 hex without the attachment to unscrew nuts. Very handy
@@JR-pb5dz I agree, it gets the job done without worrying about damaging the blade.
This is by far the best knife they've (or anyone) has come out with. I love the screw driver and all the other hidden features--the bottle opener, the scoring tool, and the single blade storage is just right (doesn't add bulk to the handle). To improve it further, I would make it even slimmer if possible, perhaps by slimming down the plastic casing; the wire clip, could be sturdier, and the screwdriver lock would move in the opposite direction that it does currently, to be friendlier to the right-handed (majority) folks out there.
What about a fricken laser coming out of it’v
Yes! They should make some for left handed people.
The combination of the flicking razorblade action and the band aid on his thumb has me in stitches! lol
Haha, I'm not even sure if it was from that. I often get some scrapes at the job site.
That's an insane number of Milwaukee utility knives. You're crazy. I only have four. 😉
i bought one the other day at my local home depot..... i instantly fell in love with it..... the perfect utility knife... nice video.............
Thank you, this is very handy and pretty comfortable, considering all 6 things it can do.
I bought mine about a year ago and I really like it.After going through a lot of utility knives I’ve settled on this one. I keep a serrated blade in the spare compartment for when I need to cut some larger branches in the woods. Thanks for a great review.
Thanks for stopping by and suggesting a serrated utility blade. I'll have to try one.
I have this razor utility knife, and it works great for me. I use it to open top soil bags and to trim glue overfill in my wood working projects. Cheers from Texas.
Sounds like a perfect knife for those tasks. Cheers! Hope all is well in Texas and the warm weather is moving back in.
I've got the Milwaukee 6 in 1, it has replaced my Stanley Quick slide sport, which has fold out box cutter & a half serrated fold out blade, I've added afew things 2 my 6&1, a Leatherman ratchet extension & a line of bits in a leather pouch, I normally carry the Surge, because it really comes in handy 4 my line of work. Thank you for your time kind Sir.🙏✌
Thanks, sounds like a nice upgrade.
Awesome review. Purchased this utility knife about a month ago and it’s great.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Best thing I’ve bought in a long time .
💯. If I lost mine, I'd buy another... They're that handy.
Just bought one this utility knife is awesome 👏🏽
That's cool. I use mine all the time and love it👊💯
Am I the only one who thinks the bandaid on his thumb gives him a little more credibility?
i like the fastback knives....i have quite a few also....nice tool bench set up 👍
Thanks 👍. I'm finally organized after many years of always looking for tools.🤣
I just got one at home chipo yesterday is very good love it 👍👍
How was your weekend ?
Good, I watched utility knives reviews on CZcams! Lol
All good 🤣👏🍻
I just purchased one, very impressed!
They're a great edc pocket knife/utility knife. 💯
Love them all
I prefer a straight edge blade because it is easier to sharpen. Thank you for an informative video on this versatile utility knife.
Thanks, same here.
I've carried the 1505 for about a year. It is the best "Multi-Tool" I've ever had. Removing the screwdriver bit provides a 1/4 hex drive that you could use for sockets.
Definitely a handy tool!
Or small hose clamps
I have it and i must abmit that the material quality is high and they build it with precision.Well done Milwaukee here.
Yes, it's a great knife, built solid.
Great review!! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the review Mark
My pleasure!
I have this one. And i use the DeWalt SS utility blades and its just PERFECT!!
Cool, I'll have to check it out.
Great review. Just bought in for my brother and picked one up for my self today. Only gripe I had was that the bit holder for the Phillips and flat head drive but didn’t come out easily. Come to find out the retention spring for the bit in the knife was not seated properly.
Thanks for showing all the features. I was stuck with the screwdriver locked, which I now realize I have to push in the black locking mechanism towards the orange side to unlock.
Glad to help!
Pretty neat!
Thanks man, cheers!
I have this 6-1 and man, I’m a machinist and for the facility I work for I’m responsible for electrical, dry wall and plumbing and this is a tool, I legit handy tool and it paid for itself many times. Highly recommend for daily use on job sites
Cool to hear that!👊💯
I just got mine and I love it
It's a very handy tool
This is such an awesome tool. My favorite item that I carry daily. I’m actually going to buy a wiha double sided bit set and rubber bit holder to cart in addition to this. Another cool thin about this is it will hold the Leatherman ratcheting extension. Might come in handy if you need it!
Sounds like you'll be able to take on many projects with that setup.
@@MarkThomasBuilder you’re DARN TOOTIN
I got one. the best one when it comes to features after my heavy duty dewalt DWHT10261. The Only think I wish for the Milwaukee to have was the metal casing.
Honestly, this is the knife that convinced me that brand names for construction/trade tools really do matter. I had three similar looking knock offs from amazon and all of them were inferior: unsecure blades, weird blade holding compartments that don't work, awkward grips made of loosely glued together handle scales, lots of movement in open position... terrible features.
This one though, super secure even after months of work. The metal handles can take a beating and it feels good and secure in the hand. The loose flip out action can be hard to get used to but just a few practice opens and it's fine.
I use this all the time and I can say that it's held up well for me. Those other cheap ones sound like they can be dangerous over time.
I love this blade
It's very handy, works well!
What about the tape measure feature where it holds the tape measure and the clip actually is used for making Shepard's hooks too
I have used the fastback II model for 6 years now. I am a diemaker and die cutter. I cut paper for a living and the fast back with blade storage is a time saver. Mine is older and I can tell there are some changes in newer ones but I will still buy it when I lose one.
I agree, it's always nice having blade storage. Nothing like a nice sharp blade to work with.
A fellow die cutter! Had my fastback for five years and thought I lost it so I picked up this model. I ground a large flathead into a decent chisel for removing spent open cell from dies or tweaking tightly spaced punches on flat die cut strippers. Works great........then I found my old one, good as new, caught in the magnets of my scrap chute. I'm never surprised by what I find there.
My wife will probably hate your channel because I am going to Home Depot to buy it.
Haha, tell her there's some how-to videos that will actually save you lots of $$. 🙌
Lol my wife complained because i bought 2 of these from Amazon along with the 50 pack of refill blades ! One knife for home, one for work. Can't wait to get them!
Serrations is a plus for a multi tool and great for quick rope cuts. Building my own Milwaukee EDC collection too😅
Nice. I hear they make serrated utility blades, but haven't tried them yet.
Great review man. Any chance you could upload the specs to it as I can't find on any website. Mostly need the depth/width (of course depends on which way you hold). Need to know if it will fit into a gap on car dashboard 18-20mm in height. So width of knife looking down on it while cutting with belt clip removed of course. Sorry for confusion. Will buy from your link, thanks again.
Had to watch this to figure out how the blade storage works. 👍 Bought the 1505 in a 2 pack with the 1500. Keep the 1500 in the truck.
Glad I could help
Better than a roll of quarter's too!!
Serrated blades are harder to sharpen, but have their advantages. I carry a leatherman surge and use the serrated blade for cutting tough stuff like sturdy rubber hoses, and the straight blade for pretty much everything else cause it's easier to sharpen on the go with my fällkniven dc4
Yes, I never thought about rubber hoses. Serrated blades are great for that.
Wish you would demonstrate the wire stripper
Yes more milwaukee knife tool. Cutlery
Sounds good.
I just bought one recently and have found myself using the screwdriver quite a bit at work.
Improvements I would like to see are a reversible pocket clip and storage for at least another blade or two. Other than that, so far so good.
Sounds like some good suggestions.
I've just ordered one
🙌💯
A great tool to use on cutting sheetrock !
Yes indeed!
I like Milwaukee FASTBACK a lot for:
1. Good and stable locking blade holder,
2. Frame lock for screwdriver and screwdriver it self on knife,
3. Spare blade hidden storage,
4. Good quality and good holding pocket clip.
I would like Milwaukee to improve on:
1. Blade holder/knife is sticking out of handle when is folded, in spite being space for it to be able to be flush,
2. More precise frame lock grind on screwdriver and possibly 90° lock position,
3. Screwdriver it self could be lil bit longer and sturdier with magnet, I know there could be a problem with space but can be done with 25mm/1" bit and possibly holder for second bit visible/on side in the place where lanyard hole is.
4. Pocket clip could be for deep carry, but that would require some remodel coz of bottle opener i think.
Overall one of my favorite EDC knives and screwdriver is handy to have from time to time.
Fine is the best for me
I absolutely love serrations on my blade 🗡️
That's cool. I think most comments aren't for them, but good to hear from all sides.
Knife looks great. Just wish there was a tip-up carry option.
I agree. That's my preferred way too.
i’m trying to find that one in BC Canada.
I like my 48-22-1501 with slitter/wire stripper feature but it would be nice if it had spare blade.
Yes, the spare blade is a great feature to have.
Serrations are good for cutting thick rope. If you are a deck hand or something on a fishing boat, you need one on your bibs in case you get caught up in lines and get pulled overboard.
Sounds like a good choice for that. I'd probably want to carry a backup too.
@@MarkThomasBuilder you should see how many knives underwater divers have. I swear they have at least 1 on each limb, one on each side of their body, etc. If they get wrapped up in something, they want to have a knife within easy reach of the other side.
👍👍👏👏👏
I just got one a few days ago. It's great! Also, they may have improved it slightly as when I put the screwdriver in the 90degree position (the first stop) it actually (semi) locks into place. It can move out of it fairly easily, but it does sustain that position. It didn't "flop" the way yours did in this video. So, maybe they did something to "tweak" it, or maybe it becomes "more loose" with use? Great review! Thanks!
Thank you. I know they watch and listen to reviews. I had a discussion recently with a product manager and was able to explain the things I like/and dislike on their knives.
the handle is made from metal or plastic? thank you
I can’t figure out to use spare blade holder
I bought this knife to store in my car for emergency purposes--like if I had to cut a seat belt for instance.
Good idea!
Show us your tool bench setup
Great video idea. I think I'll get to that sometime soon. Thanks.
Combo blades are a nogo for me.
Could you make a video for the w12113?
It’s a pocket knife
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.
I have to use a pair pliers to switch the bit cant pull it out. maybe it will loose up with more use I just took it out of the package
Yes, it probably needs to be used regularly for a few weeks to loosen up.
Looks like a great product. Have to see if in my fixed retirement income. Lol.
Haha, this one isn't too bad on the wallet. Cheaper that the gas to drive somewhere nowadays.
Blade comes out sometimes when I'm doing aggressive drywall cuts. Wish the razor blade didn't rattle.
Humm, I haven't tried it on the aggressive cuts like that yet. I like their older version side sliding utility knife for those projects.
So what about does this blade open in your side pocket when carrying it around because it opens so well ? I have a EDC straight blade folding knife which I carry in my side pocket and it won't open because u have to fold it by pulling the knife out I like it but I have to sharpen it every weekend because of intense cutting cardboard boxes and cargo load plastic film, can u answer this question?
it does not open in your side pocket. You got to press the button really good to open.
had it for 6 months of extreme abuse and only opens when I want it
The bit Drive is hard to get the pits in and out
I agree. I don't use it too often, but give it a good tug. It would be nice it they had a magnet to hold it in place.
It's a good feature not to lock in at 90 degrees for torqueing that screw driver or you could easily exceed it's limits
Good point.
Keeper.
💯
Did you use your 80d or G7x for this video? Are most of your videos with the 80d?
I mostly use the 80d for my videos. I use the G7x for slo-mo pan shots and some occasional times where I want a second camera, just to capture a different angle, like in my recent snow blower video.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I didn't hear the G7x auto focus motor, so I figured you were using you 80d.
Is there supposed to be a magnet holding the bits in?
No, it's a friction fit.
Saw this 6 in 1 at Home Depot today thought about getting it I came here for the pros and cons is the handle plastic or metal?
Metal
It's g10 scales on metal liners....
@@MarkThomasBuilder is yours metal? I just got one and it's plastic.
Wish they figured out a way to keep the gut hook
Good point.
Mine is in the mail
Nice choice!
What use would a half serrated blade serve
Some like it for cutting rope. Most comments I've read don't want serrated.
There’s an image of a face wearing glasses on the body of the knife. Does anybody know what that is for?
Safety glasses reminder.
My uncle died and left me several of his possessions and one of them is a Milwaukee fast-track knife. I cannot change the blade. I sprayed it with WD-40 and let it soak. I press the little button that holds the blade. I tried two pairs of wire pliers. Nothing works. Since there is a lifetime guarantee with their products. How can I contact them . Please help me. I want to use the knife but also I want to keep it as a memory of my dear uncle. He was a carpenter in his day. He taught me how to read a ruler when I was about eight years old. He taught me about fractions before I learned about it school. I do miss him so much
The number for Milwaukee customer support is (800)729-3878. I can relate to your story which makes me think of my Uncle Bob, who taught me similar things. I have great memories of him and inherited his hand tools.
As far as your blade goes, it's hard to say without looking at it. I don't know if it can be sent in for repair. Hopefully they can get it fixed for you. If you have some luck figuring it out, let me know. I'm curious to hear how it goes. Thanks!
@@MarkThomasBuilder when Bob's your uncle, you're pretty much set-
I feel like there's just one spot that you could add an additional bit for the pocket knife and then it'll be maxed out lol
It would be nice to have a #2 square bit on this. I agree.
Hi Why dont they sell them in the UK
I'm not sure. I wonder if you can order them though Amazon?
I would use to open those plastic packages and recycle cardboard.
Hey Larry, yes it would work well on that.🙌💯
Agree with no serration.
💯🙌
U should have showed where the spare blade goes
Good point, thanks for sharing.
I have one love most of the design.....blade lock tab does not work that well on mine... In every video I have seen it looks effortless getting the blade out and back in on mine is a real task... I wish they just used a real button!!!
I was recently testing another brand knife like this out, just for kicks. It never seemed to latch well unless I put extra effort in, so I exchanged it and the new one works just fine. Maybe exchanging it would be worth a shot?
😆🍻🍺😊

C00l😀😀😀😀

It’s a 6 in 1 geeza so u forgot to demonstrate the wire stripper!!
I love the Milwaukee fastback utility knives..sadly I’m not happy with the 6 in 1..the driver wiggles and doesn’t stay locked..
That's what decide not to go with it in favor of the standard fast back. Saw too many reports of the bit holder not holding up. Seems meant for light duty only. I've got my Leatherman for screwdriver duty, and just needed the utility knife for the cutting function.
I found the pocket clip on the Fastback was too tight for quick draw, but it was simple enough to adjust the bend for the just the right amount of tension I needed to stay clipped securely but still allow for it to be pulled out easily.
@@wingerrrrrrrrr I had the same issue when I first got my fastback..but now I have it perfect and literally been carrying 2 years now..it’s really the best box cutter around
@@Ersk88 I do like how easy it is to tailor the clip tension to how you like it. I used my Knipex pliers wrench to tweak it without marring it.
Where is it made ?
I'm pretty sure it's made in China, but will have to double check.
I hate serrations. They make a blade useless for most edc tasks which require a fine straight edge like s utility razor or a Sheepsfoot and what it’s meant for which is being sharp and cutting stuff!
Serrations make carving, whittling or shaving wood impossible. They’re totally useless fir pruning in the garden, or food tasks around the home or out and about.
They’re also really hard to maintain a decent edge. Their only benefit is if you’re needing a rescue blade that can hack through the webbing of seatbelts fast or if your dealing with marine rigging and need to cut through heavy cordage.
Have had two Milwaukees and they just do not last long. Get a good heavy duty folding utility knife without a button.
I cut my finger jut getting it out of the package
Yeah, that packaging can be a pain. I'm still looking for the ultimate hand tool to cut open the difficult packaging.
Just finished about an hour of intermittent heavy cutting with this tool.
It's really chews up your hands due to all the skinny edges on the handle including the belt clip... It's uncomfortable save for maybe opening a cardboard box.
Not a 'real' tool.
If you're doing the heavy duty cutting for long periods of time, then I agree with you. This is a handy utility knife for EDC. I have an older side button MIlwaukee utility knife that I like for the tougher stuff. I also have a Lenox brand that I use for big projects.
Am I the only clown who loses there knife after a month on the job sites.
Sounds like you need to get in the habit of putting it on your belt or pocket after each use.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I usually keep it in my belt but I was wiring a pannel in the dark and accidentally left it inside the pannel 😓
I know what you mean. I own a bunch of tape measures because I'd take them out of my truck to use around the house and then need it the next day at a jobsite. 🤣🤷♂️
the bottle opener on this knife is horribly placed and pretty much useless. recommend grinding it off considering there's like 5 other spots on the knife you can use to open bottles without having something sharp poking out on it.
plastic
Inferior to the simple 48-22-1906. With any of the others, you are just playing, and certainly not turning any real screws. A screwdriver has a round handle and a long shaft. This is a goofy gadget. INFERIOR. I have unlimited blade storage called a toolbox, and my real screwdriver isn't limited to 2 heads.
I rarely use the screwdriver feature, but it fits on the utility knife fairly well.
Only one it’s ok! That one!
They need to change black
