FASTBACK 6-in-1 Folding Utility Knife with General Purpose Blade

Great tool, I used constantly all of its features. the knife is quite sharp. I cut my finger once I think it may need a guard to prevent cuts. keep it high and away from children highly dangerous around the home and kids. it's been about 2 months I have dropped this tool constantly and I worked with it constantly. It's still working like like new and no signs of damage.

I have had an older Milwaukee Fastback for years. It has a metal body and no other frills. It is a beast, have literally used it to hammer on things. It feels great in hand and is 2x the quality of this new unit. This new knife has better features but it has a plastic body, rattles, and is not as solid feeling as I hoped. It is 100% functional, but maybe I have come to expect too much of Milwaukee. I would pay 2x the cost to get this knife with an all metal body. Hopefully they don't start cheaping out on other things and go the way that Craftsman did. Milwaukee are you listening?!

To make the "FASTBACK™ 6 in 1 Folding Utility Knife" a perfect design-- I suggest adding a Reverseable Pocket Clip option similar to your FASTBACK™ Folding Knife. Then it will be perfect. FASTBACK™ Folding Knife https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Hand-Tools/Cutting/Knives-and-Blades/48-22-1520

All in all, it's a nice tool with one flaw, which is that the belt clip is on the wrong end of the knife. When I pull it out of my pocket, I'm holding it upside down and have to flip it around. This is unlike any of my pocket knives. The clip should be on the lanyard side (to the right in the photo). Also, this review form kinda sucks. Focusing on fields causes the page to slide up and down. And on Chrome/macOS I get and error about "Device FP is a Mandatory attribute" so I have to use Safari.

I work in a warehouse. The one hand flips is awesome. The clip love it because the knive gets cought in between product and bend the clip. Other knives wouldn't be able to fix them. The slot for the extra blade is kind hard to get out but other than that awesome knive

It was probably the FOURTH time I got to use the swing out philips bit and it fell apart off the knife. It was still brand new. I got lucky the parts didnt fall down the drain. I tried contacting Milwuakee on their main website and they NEVER till this day, responded to my email. I finally took it back to Home Depot but couldnt get a new one since they didnt have any in stock at that store so they gave me store credit.

I tried to post a review before but for some reason it just would not so this product is so good I’m going to try to post this review a second time. It does everything you really need a multi tool to do that is centered around a blade. Some of the features are hit and miss on the packaging and the website but it does have a slotted and Phillips head driver bit as well as locking into place. It has wire stripper and bottle opener and lanyard hole. It will carry one extra blade in the handle but the instructions on The packaging don’t really mention that. I have the original compact fast back. That’s for my work every day use. This new and improved six in one tool is my personal every day carry. I would definitely recommend this product.

This Milwaukee 6-in-1 folding knife is very well made. It’s sturdy and works well. I think the 6-in-1 feature is a bit gimmicky, with the bottle opener, two style screw driver(slot and Phillips head), the 1/4” nut driver, which is the holder for the screwdriver bit, the wire stripper and of course the knife. I guess these features add some versatility to the knife, but I only see myself maybe using the screwdriver feature. The screw driver bit holder has a strong spring like mechanism that clicks in place for use as a right angle screwdriver and it does lock in place when straight so it’s not going to fold back in on you. I find that to be a good and safe feature. Unlocking the screw driver to fold it up is a bit tricky, but I’ve included a photo to show where to unlock it. I haved primarily used this knife so far for opening boxes, cutting up cardboard and scoring some drywall. It has done great and is easy to handle. I’m not a person who will be carrying this with me all the time, for someone who does, the added features may come in handy. Especially the belt clip. It’s definitely designed with right handed use in mind. Left handed users will find unlocking and folding out the blade a bit cumbersome. The knife does have room for blade storage and a photo of that is included in this review. Overall, it’s a a good knife and should provide quality service. I’m giving it five stars, it’s well made and all the features do work well.

Very handy and nice for the price. Milwaukee’s done it again with providing a nice tool to have for those small jobs. The handle is really nice for control and it has just enough beef in the tool for scoring and cutting. There’s a notch in the handle for finger and handle control which is really a nice feature to have for safety purposes. I don’t see much use in the bottle opener in the wire stripper but it could be a nice feature to have when needed. The drive a bit is pretty cool as you can put standard quarter inch socket bits into the handle and it has a good metal socket to receive any bit you choose. It comes with a belt clip and it’s strong and will attach to any belt as a solid fastener and will not go anywhere. Changing blades -you’ll have to press hard on the outer portion of the black area where there’s a protrusion and that’s really nice to have for a quick change. Even though it’s made in China and Taiwan, it still has the nice American quality that Milwaukee delivers.

Absolutely love this fastback. I have the one before this one with the reg knife blade and said they need to make a razor one and that exactly what milwaukee did not only did they make the blade better they made the entire handle as well even better.. Love the lil screwdriver always comes in handy on a pinch. And the hidden extra blade storage genuis just excellent crasftmansship all together
