NEW - DeWalt Atomic VS Milwaukee Fastback - Compact Utility Knife Duel Off!

[@traditionallarry5378]

Great comparison,thank’s for the video.

[@ThingsMen]

@@traditionallarry5378 of course. Thank you watching!

[@Bass4LifeBro]

Really liking the DeWalt other than you can't lock it when it's closed.

[@ThingsMen]

@@Bass4LifeBro yea the overall design is pretty good. Liner locks will only engage in one position. 👍🏻

[@michaellindsay8934]

Both are a good value and it's just a preference of what you like. For me it's still the WorkPro you don't notice the knife in your pocket, it's the same blade in all the utility knives. I would have a hard time getting used to anything else. Great vidio thank you

[@ThingsMen]

@@michaellindsay8934 I still prefer the WP as well maybe if I needed to cut something for a long period of time it would grab a thicker knife like either of these but those days aren’t as common. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻

[@pepstein]

Blade release is pretty well placed for left handed use. Button locks are easy to hit accidentally when using a knife left handed.

[@ThingsMen]

@@pepstein so you’re saying it’s for a leftie?

[@pepstein]

I’m just saying lefties don’t have that many options, and this one isn’t too bad. At the higher end of the market some knives are made in a left handed version, and of course some designs are ambidextrous, but so many goods knives are only really usable with the right hand.

[@ThingsMen]

@ I’m glad you like it and it fells good enough for lefties. I guess that’s a win. 👍🏻

[@pepstein]

@@ThingsMen thanks.

[@egbluesuede1220]

Cracking up thinking about Apples newest tool....the iknife utility blade. $500 but you will hate yourself when the iknife 2 comes out in 3 months.

[@ThingsMen]

@@egbluesuede1220 😆

[@omicrondec]

For more than twice the cost, I went with the Oknife Otacle U1 for an EDC simply because much more blade is exposed and usable.

[@ThingsMen]

That’s a great option as well. I picked up one a while ago and like its compactness, quality. 👍🏻

[@metalcain90]

Just bought the DeWalt in a 2pack, the package and manufacturer website say the knife has storage for 5 extra blades (none were included of course) and i can not find anywhere on the knife to store additional blades

[@ThingsMen]

This unit has no additional storage. They have one that looks similar that does have extra storage, but it honestly felt pretty flimsy when i was looking at it.

[@mikefule]

I watched far too many of these review videos in order to choose something that costs less than a pizza and a beer. I then chose the Milwaukee Flip with the blade storage. I bought 2: one for about the house and one for my belt. For me, the comparison is with what I had before: several traditional Stanley knife with the 2 part handle held together with a single screw, so you need to take it apart to swap the blade. Compared to these old school knives, the Milwaukee is smaller in all 3 dimensions, about 20 grammes lighter, and the blade is safely out of the way when it is not in use. Blade change is quick and intuitive, as is the secure blade storage. It also has a very strong belt clip. The cord cutter nick in the back of the handle is a nice touch. As a sailor with a traditional-style dinghy, I often find myself working with thin lines that need cutting. Let's admit it, though, the flip out, flip in action is part of the cool factor. I did look closely at the 6 in 1 with the screwdriver, but felt that the extra cost and weight did not outweigh the extra use I'd get out of it.

[@ThingsMen]

@@mikefule yes they are smaller now than they have ever been. Going with the Milwaukee isn’t a bad choice at all. Video is an over simplification for f their differences and everyone has their own reasoning and specific needs. 👍🏻

[@harleyandguns]

Good comparison. Looks like the small red one on the left is a Hyper Touch? Great compact, light duty blades for the price

[@ThingsMen]

@@harleyandguns sort of. Definitely Milwaukee though. 👍🏻

[@andrewc9790]

The lock is a compression lock. Created by Spyderco founder in 2001.

[@ThingsMen]

@@andrewc9790 I’ll need to double check but I think you are correct. Thanks for responding. 👍🏻

[@georgebonney90]

I've been carrying the Kobalt for about 6 months. It's a little bulky but it's been great otherwise. I think it was $8

[@ThingsMen]

@@georgebonney90 you’ll get tired of it. Slim knives are great.

[@shadow7796]

I'm looking for a better quality than the cheap one I currently have. Was debating on a Makita or the Otackle, but I'm still not sure. I actually like the shape of that Dewalt. It's nice and thin, too. But, thanks for these videos.

[@ThingsMen]

@@shadow7796 these are very slim and minimalistic. For $9 they are super affordable too. Easy enough to buy the Dewalt and try out for yourself.

[@chickenfriedsteak3669]

DeWalt just dropped a button lock version "local" tag on peg say NEW ITEM , thangs BADAZZ. kicked the Milwaukee fastback and the new similar Klein out of my pocket..... No driver on back , but tip up carry and button lock GOODNESS.

[@ThingsMen]

@@chickenfriedsteak3669 is that the larger one?

[@chickenfriedsteak3669]

@@ThingsMen No , but i think it may be the same one yer thinking of , less the extra blade holder feature which made it way fatter.

[@TDNomad]

Compared to the other version of the Press flip knives from Dewalt or Milwaukee, this Dewalt version sucks. The placement of the button to press is terrible. It doesn’t feel natural in hand when you press it. Thumb placement feels off with this. It’s not in a good spot

[@ThingsMen]

@@TDNomad agree that it’s not in an ideal position. It’s just a bit too far to the right side that you feel you are going to lose it. 👍🏻

[@kokyrescuemoving]

Dewall 👍

[@ThingsMen]

@@kokyrescuemoving old yellow.

[@PedrazaArt1]

This atomic knife is and accident waiting to happen I don’t know how they approved to get this on shelves It doesn’t lock closed I can see this stabbing me in the leg Just picked it up Definitely won’t be using it on a job site Staying in the drawer for at home use only

[@ThingsMen]

@@PedrazaArt1 agree that locking closed would be a big plus. Still don’t really like the thumb lock location.

[@ProxyFinal]

For some reason, I didn't like the Dewalt this time.

[@ThingsMen]

@@ProxyFinal what didn’t you like?

[@ProxyFinal]

@@ThingsMen the placement of the release

[@ThingsMen]

@@ProxyFinal yes it’s in a bad spot.

[@harisafdianto]

Bad design, sorry dewalt😢😢

[@ThingsMen]

@@harisafdianto partially. Hard to be mad at a $9 knife though.

[@andrewc9790]

The lock on the Dewalt has been proven to be a better mechanism many times. It's a compression lock. Look it up. Everything else is a matter of opinion.
