Milwaukee copied the knife design with 1/4 bit holder from Kershaw, I have both. I got the Kershaw knife with 1/4 bit holder back in 2008, i think 🤔. Milwaukee was not the original on the bit holder 😂

Pinned

[@kyote1r77]

@@Joethetoolguy thank you

[@robertbeagan2937]

Milwaukee all day the double sided bit has save me from miles of walking to the truck to retrieve a screwdriver also flat head has opened at least a hundred cans of paint

[@krayzie281]

Sweet now Milwaukee will come out with an even better fast back now one that’s will not only drive in a screw or cut a box or some cable but will be able to deliver 1800 in pounds of torque

[@Joethetoolguy]

Hell yeah 👍

[@thatfoojosh]

As an electrician, when I saw the new Klein I had to go get it. I keep it on my pouch with the rest of my tools. I carry the Milwaukee with me at all times. Sad to say but Klein felt short of the fastback. I need both flat-head and Phillips option on the Milwaukee.

[@nickstarks22]

Milwaukee has a bottle opener built in. I often use the flat head bit to open electrical panels at work. And the newest generation of milwaukee has a ball and spring collar to hold the bit in place. I will have to buy the klein and give it a whirl.

[@noelv1976]

I have that spring collar version and let me tell ya, one or two drops from the ladder that clip will eventually break off. Lost the original bit because it fell off the holder.

[@user-yf6hq1fh1z]

My spring collar disappeared just from pulling in and out of my pocket, made it through about 4 months

[@Mrjackietreehorn]

The ball popped out on mine and I tossed it in a bin. I have the kershaw select fire. It has everything the fastback does but a real knife blade which I like.

[@creekfinds]

As a painter/handyman, this particular model of Fastback comes up short for two reasons. It holds one extra blade that is difficult to remove and the arm on the bit holder is not strong enough to open multiple cans of paint without breaking. The king of Fastbacks is the one with 5 blade storage.

[@ryanthomas9685]

I wanted Klein to be better, but people who actually use the screwdriver know that it has to be centered inline to be worth using. Milwaukee still takes it there

[@hallowedbethygame2840]

Yeah 100% that’s a major flaw on the Klein

[@JC_1095]

the only thing I wish the milwaukee had from the klein one is that secondary locking position. The removable impact rated bit holding feature is kind of cool too. I’ll still go with the milwaukee 6 in 1 for now, but I like other companies finally trying to offer similar versions

[@CTRwannaB]

Only if it had blade storage, reversible bit and for after hours… the bottle opener 😂 Yours look new Mine after a few weeks looks like it was in ww3 I have 4 of them 😂

[@Joethetoolguy]

Interestingly they all have a bottle opener if you know how

[@nelsoninman3678]

The fastback does hold a few blades

[@boothbrave]

Title misleading. I was expecting the Klein to be better but the video proved Milwaukee is still the one to get! Milwaukee has over the Klein-Reversible bit, blade storage, easy flip, bottle opener, and 3 yrs going strong . Any questions!? 😂

[@hallowedbethygame2840]

I don’t need an extra impact bit in my knife, I need a combo screwdriver for small adjustments. How else am I gonna adjust faceplate screws? That and the offset screw driver make this one a hard pass.

[@Thattexaslife]

love the bottle opener on the milwaukee 1505

[@2121contreras]

Nobody beats Milwaukee fastback. everybody I know has one. It's gotta be Milwaukees number one selling tool I see them every where I go .... Hell even my wife has one.

[@KiltPatrick]

Does anybody have issues with the bit holder on the Milwaukee coming loose? And how to tighten it? Is it a screw or a rivet?

[@kobie4238]

Came for the knives stayed for the commentary 😂

[@Mrjackietreehorn]

If the Milwaukee driver were magnetic instead of the ball detent it would be perfect… mine broke. I use the Kershaw select fire now. It’s perfect and it holds any 4 - 1” bits you can find, uses a magnetic driver and it has a bottle opener. Love Kershaw blades too.

[@PFab]

I'm pretty sure my buddy had a Kobalt blade many years ago. Not the razor blade but knife that was similar to the fastback

[@tannerwest6823]

Yea I’ve had a Kobalt style “fastback” for about 4 years now. Still works perfect

[@dw734]

I remove the belt clips now. Had one break my phone screen once. And I also grind off the little nub on the fastback too.

[@CatchyColorLures]

Exceed tirant is my go to still. No screw driver but super light, ceramic bearing and the least amount of play in the blade ive seen. Expensive but it's lasted me.

[@RANDOMPEPSIBOTTLES]

*sees klein name* "I NEEEEEEEEED IT"!

[@cwatson42785]

No blade storage on the Klein is a deal breaker for me. In 2023 i refuse to use a blade that can't store spares.

[@geoffap0]

Unlike my ex, I like “small, short and slim” WorkPro stainless utility knives. My Fastbacks are toolbox queens now.

[@tRav285]

Idk why Milwaukee doesn't have the second lock position feature. They have had it on other fastbacks and it literally wouldn't cost them anything to have it on this model. It's just a little groove drilled into the little axle thing.

[@svgranger]

Would a reversible bit fit inside the Kein knife?

[@CarlosPlumbingNMoreToolReviews]

Couldn’t pay attention with that nice blue power tool in the background 🤣😂

[@arthurp3272]

hard to beat Milwaukee metal with 5 blade storage

[@xmiller7691]

The Klein looks like it might have the one handed opening and closing capability on the screwdriver end. Does it? If that's the case then the Klein is the winner in my book, except its lack of blade storage is a bummer.

[@johnossendorf9979]

I have the 6 in 1 Fastback that I carry everywhere and use on a daily basis, I'v researched the Kline, no blade storage, no Phillips/Flat bit which is a must have, half of the bit driver can be lost, has locking blade position the Fastback doesn't have which is nice but definitely not a must have. I will be staying with my Fastback. Ps. The bottle opener on the Fastback is completely useless for me as i also still EDC my Victorinox Swiss Champ that I bought in 1985.

[@lackofdubs5975]

Milwaukee wasnt the first to do a flip utility knife or one with a driver and bottle opener :) Alot of the other flip utility knives are even smoother... The one thing Milwaukee does do, is put them all together and make them work well

[@Castleknight]

You've got over 16K, subscribers, so maybe it's time you film with a tripod, so you can use 2 hands in your reviews, versus, trying to do this one handed. It would flow better.

[@1977bjhaas]

Ryobi has one now but no screwdriver.

[@xDoz4x]

Funny enough, I use the fast back more times to open beer bottles than to cut or screw things.

[@Darkcruzer23]

i have like 1-2 milwaukee tools, so im not a fanboy, but the klein having a longer bit driver does not make it better, or "eat the milwaukee's lunch"

[@ZackMeetsWorld]

Fiskers still makes the best one

[@craigwright6873]

I Really wanted the Klein to be good. I took it out out of the package and gave the POS to my wife. I think it’s in my kitchen junk drawer. MILWAUKEE!

[@privateassman8839]

Buy 2, use the Milwaukee body, the klein driver, and the Milwaukee bit

[@ATGbowling856]

I didn't take me long to lose my bit tho, so carry extras

[@MrNightpwner]

😂 Funny as always

[@scott84935]

Check out the new toughbuilt 5 in 1. It beats the kleenex and milwakee

[@ProToolsApproved]

Oh that's gonna get lost in the first 30 seconds.

[@bowtiedooley]

I’m gonna have to buy it just because the orange color is so nice! 😅🤣

[@jwctech]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@Dblunts]

Where can i get one?

[@PFab]

Look up the description. Lowes

[@ProToolsApproved]

At a store.

[@PeterTrimboli]

I thought the Klein one was made out of aluminum?

[@Joethetoolguy]

No, its some kind of composite

[@12345678927164]

Whoops he’s bigger.

[@westernochreoutdoors]

Both aren't perfect. There are definitely things I would improve about both, mainly the bit holders and pocket clips. I personally like the Milwaukee more, I hope other them or companies improve the design so we get a better, more efficient product.

[@solongandthanksforallthefish]

The uncentered Klein bit holder & extension is pointless and cheap feeling. The centered, double ended bit on the Milwaukee is a far better option for EDC

[@KeepitcleanOC]

No backup blade? No bottle opener? No backup blade??? No Klein thanks, milwaukee 100% great video tho thx

[@greatbay1961]

take a walk on the beach with your new klein in your pocket it will impress the girls

🏆 nevertheless!

[@loboindustrieslt9022]

I like Klein💘but not as much as before😢, now they make lower quality products. As for this comparison, Milwaukee's is definitely even better. And even though Klein took the time to not only design and copy something but he couldn't improve it, reverse engineering didn't work🥺.

[@C_Dzz]

Lmao 🤣 Respect 💪🏾🇺🇲

[@Joethetoolguy]

💪

[@GoldMineArcade]

I hope you realize the Milwaukee has a bigger package, the Klein is wearing a strap on extension

[@wolverinegnr]

I’ll stick with my old fastback with the blade storage. No need for a bit driver when I have plenty of screwdrivers.

[@boxerpig6109]

Klein came up short. Great idea but just isn’t it

[@miguelmendez4718]

No bottle opener 👎

[@saltysteel3996]

The Klein driver sucks. The removable driver will get lost and the single ended bit is a deal breaker. I have the Klein and do not like it.

[@lancasteredc7773]

Toughbuild came out with their own driver utility knife and it’s better than both! You can flick the driver out and smoother for the blade has two blade storage with easy access and retractable pry bar

[@Joethetoolguy]

I got bad news for you bro

[@toolnerd]

🛠️🛠️🛠️😎😎🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@DeadCelt]

Milwaukee for the win

[@chingonbass]

i still like the fiskars version the best.

[@Gooselip]

No flat head is poopy
