New DeWalt Utility Knives VS Milwaukee Fastback - 2 Months later - Worth It?

[@hanumarn7882]

Excellent review! Very natural. Love the close up shots! More information about handle material and weight (feels lightweight or quite heavy), how is the handle made (with metal lining or one piece aluminum), pivot bearing material (nylon washers or metal) would be very helpful. Thank you for your time in making this VDO. Thanks for sharing!❤👍

appreciate the feedback. The dewalt is textured plastic unlike the milwaukee which is much smoother plastic (i like the tactile feeling better). the weight is no heavier than a basic screwdriver and feels very premium. I like tools that don't feel like they're gonna break easily. Both models have no flex in the handles so laying force into tougher materials is no issue but of course don't put any lateral tension on the blade as any blade will snap with enough side load. the handle seems to be heavy duty plastic with metal screws/inserts. the bearing is inside the head of the knife securely screwed to the handle instead of cheap knives that have bearings in the handle and adding the blade head to it. I'm not positive on the bearing but given dewalt used a variant of ball bearing on the tanto knives i'd assume they used something similar here. An overall good blend of metal and plastic. Too much metal = heavy but too much plastic = cheap/vulnerable. Hope that helps :) ~ Work Smart

I wish they would let us bring our own utility knife’s to work, sadly we have to use the company approved auto retracting razor knives that suck big time

@Kaleb_RoSs auto retracting? Honestly never heard of it but I'm assuming you have to keep a finger to it or else it springs the blade away for safety. Wonder how many accidents it took to make that a rule at your work 🤔
