The fastback has gotten so much work done for me. As a maintenance guy, always doing 5 different jobs in one day, the driver with changeable bit is so clutch, and the action on the blade is impeccable

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the comment and feedback Sam!!!

[@chadh.2517]

My guess is that if you were removing the blade from storage to replace the old blade, you could remove the used blade first to address the safety concerns.

[@Fuzionjay2]

True

[@LaCatHTF]

Exactly what I thought. I mean you’re removing the blade anyways. Just goes to show you, gotta move smart. 👍🏽

[@tminsch]

For he, it's about changing from hook blade to straight, and back again, rather than carrying a dedicated knife for each blade shape

[@daniello-g5593]

@@tminsch what? Still doesn't change anything. It's so easy to pull the other blade out first. I'm sure if you get used to removing the stored blade you can do it pretty quickly

[@ericwhite3526]

They both can lift caps. Just need more practice when using the cobalt. A bic lighter works well. For me it's if you want the seatbelt cutter or screwdriver. The blade storage is a moot point as you'd pull the blade first before going for the new one .

[@NShooky]

The Compact Milwaukee Fastback is by far the best utility knife. Its slim and without all the extra gadgets.

[@jeffreycoon9634]

I agree. I hate having a pocket full of things and I don't even know the compact fastback is in my pocket

[@markiefufu]

I agree. The Milwaukee compact Fastback is the best! I bought a second, just in case I lose the first. I don't like the bulky ones for an all day carry.

[@EduardoDoctor]

Agree been using it since its released. I've bought many utility knifes to switch it up and I always go back to the compact miluwakee fastback!!

[@wolfknight2238]

agreed, I use mine as a key chain. keeps the keys from bunching up in my pocket, and insures i always have it on me. Ill not go back to a regular key chain.

[@markiefufu]

@@wolfknight2238 that's a great idea! I'm gonna try that tomorrow.

[@tshadow6]

I love my Milwaukee Fast Back so much, I gave it to my nephew and bought another one. I can cut with it, tighten two types of screws with it, carry a spare blade AND when the work is done, open a cold beer.

[@B.Dizzler93]

I've been using and abusing the Kobalt for about 2 years. I used it every single day, never leave home without it. However, after seeing the video about the Milwaukee about 2 weeks ago I went out and bought it just because of the screw driver. It may seem silly but it has already come in handy a hand full of times. I will say the opening action doesn't feel different to me, I can pull either one out of my pocket and open it in one smooth action. I actually prefer the clip on the Milwaukee though, it feels stronger. My Kobalt clip is stretched pretty bad and doesn't grip my pocket anymore, I believe the Milwaukee will hold up a little better over time.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Great feedback 👊

[@Reno420alex]

I did the same thing. Iv had my kobalt for years and then when the milwaukee knife came out with a screw driver bit built in i bought one. Unfortunately mine does not feel the same when opening or closing the button is alot stiffer and harder to fully release. The belt clip is to hard and stiff to quickly put it in my pocket i usually had to use 2 hands which is not cool.. Also it doesn't fully open and lock properly about 3 out of 10 times. I don't know if I got a faulty one who knows but iv never had any issues with my kobalt I have been using for almost 5 years now Nothing is wrong with it except for the fact the handle is made out of nylon which hasn't been a problem really at all except the end of it is a little chewed up from opening 5 years worth of beers 🤣

[@B.Dizzler93]

@@Reno420alex I'm still daily using the Milwaukee I bought. No issues for me so far. The clip is still tight and it works flawlessly for me. I use the absolute hell out of it.

[@jonathanbetenbender307]

Thanks for the heads up. I plan on getting one. Btw the clip on the Milwaukee works great. I don't like the guard for the blade release though. So I guess I'll grind down the guard on the Milwaukee and replace the clip on the Kobalt.

[@gmsunshine]

@@Reno420alex wd-40, all tools need maintenance

[@neogen20]

I like all the features in the milwaukee, the bottle opener is cool. I use the fastback around the house all the time. Mainly for tightening things with the screwdrivers, opening boxes from the mail (mainly from the wife), and once in a while I open a beer or two just for the hell of it. I tell you what, it comes in handy around christmas time, for sure.

[@AlexRicketson]

The Kershaw Select Fire (1920) is basically the pocket knife version of this tool and I love it. It's nice having the screwdriver/nut driver built in so you don't have to use your blade as a screwdriver, and it holds 4 standard size bits while the Milwaukee has the extra long double ended bit that would be harder to replace. The Milwaukee looks like a great option for a utility knife though.

[@fern9234]

The standard bits is a nice touch. Thanks for the recommendation

[@twistednomadic6452]

I buy my wife kolbalt so she leaves my tools alone lol

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha

[@garyhorton6652]

I appreciate you up date. I see what you mean about the blade being in the way when you are removing the spare blade. I simply take the old blade out first. Happy Holidays

[@g3nius694]

As a construction worker I like the newest kobalt speed release the best. It doesn't have wire cutters but I don't ever need to cut wires so that's fine for me, the release action is smooth as butter, it has the 3 blade storage in the back and feels great in hand. And the knife and 10 blades come with it for only $15. However for an electrician I think Milwaukee is better. It all just depends on what you need it to do.

[@matsudakodo]

You can now get a set of 3 for $15, crazy

[@joshposter9751]

I really like how he rounded off this video. I saw the first review and still have not bought one but I plan on buying both now.ive been using cheap huskys for to many years

[@truthserum9157]

The bottle opener is the most important feature, who needs knifes, screw drivers, or anything else, if you can’t drink beer on the job how’s it going to get done.

[@guyincognito210]

Having used them all on a daily basis for years(plumber), I now consistently buy the red tool shop version.(menards).Main reason is the price and size. Its cheap and small. It works just fine and Menards replaces it free, I take it in when the screws start loosening. Price is a major consideration for me because this is the tool I lose the most! It also opens smooth after about a week or so, out of the box it wont though.

[@jms460]

I like the fact that you left the “BEST” up to the end user. Great job bro. Just Subbed.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome, and welcome to the channel JMS!!!!!!!

[@spaceman1999]

It usually comes down to personal preference. I’ve used the kobalt for about 3 years, works great,only issue is the pivot bolt getting a little loose, easy fix. As long as it cuts without the blade coming out and getting stuck in card board or whatever your cutting without one noticing !! Safety first ! All we need now is an automatic ! Thanks for reviewing both for us. Cheers🍻

[@weeklyone]

I have both but haven't but the Kobalt in circulation! The design of the Kobalt is very similar to the Milwaukee and that's one of the main reason I purchased it!

[@athomehack7789]

Update: Milwaukee ($20) vs Kolbalt ($12) / let’s do the math. I have both. Milwaukee: - better ergonomics on handle - screwdriver & bit included - 1 extra blade storage - jimping for thumb placement for hard downward cuts (very important) - of course, bottle opener / paint lid remover. I think you get the idea. Kolbalt is a decent cutter & I let my teen son use this for projects, if you get what I mean.... ; )

[@5shotsr611]

Definitely need a bottle cap opener after a long hard day working in the sun. Cold beers is necessity

[@Dodger1Nation]

I love the Milwaukee fast back because of the added screw driver feature and bottle opener. Hope they add a little storage for more blades.

[@ABD4VIDS]

I have carried the kobalt one for almost 10 years. Got the Milwaukee for Christmas and it’s been in my pocket since

[@Wolfpack0512]

I used to have the fastback 2 Milwaukee but because of the wire belt clip I lost it near some construction that was being done, so I bought the Kobalt to see if it was as nice as my old fastback 2, and all though I am disappointed that the Kobalt doesn't come with the blade storage it is definitely still a really good kinfe.

[@jeffodabear]

I just bought the new Milwaukee after watching your other video, and I live in Canada and it definitely opens the same way yours does. Thanks for mentioning the extra blade storage, I hadn't realized that it had that.

[@timsimmons9042]

I saw your review on the Milwaukee. Loved the comparison. Seen this one, again a nice comparison. I haven’t needed one as two years ago, I bought several of the Husky (2 for me and 4 as gifts). They have easy blade change, safe storage for 4-5 blades, comfortable, sturdy, light, and lock tight in straight out, 45 and 90 degree angles. Best of all they came 100 blades and cost 9.98. Still work like new so you’re right. They are just right for me and us who use them. All are very good and it’s just preference as all would fit on my bench, in my pocket or pack out. Side note: thanks to the derecho we had in august, needed a new roof and had to ask for my husky back from a roofer who tried it and likes it better than his kobalt, lol. Preferences and options, thank goodness we have them and don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. Appreciate everything you do. Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe all.

[@joefunsmith]

Working in grocery, opening cardboard boxes a LOT, I love my new milwaukee fastback just bought 2 days ago. The Kobalt has very similar features and sure I'd like it too. I've had about 6 different models over the last year and I'm very impressed with the Milwaukee. 2nd best I've tried was an Irwin. I bought a 2-pak of the fastback for about $20 and gifted the 2nd one.

[@MysteryScienceGaming]

I just bought both to try them out. I'll give one to my pops for Christmas. I scored a set of 4 husky knives almost a decade ago now. Amazingly I still have 1 that I didn't manage to lose and I know my pops is so old school he is still using the stanley utility knives.

[@thecreeperboy77]

Yeah I use to deliver appliances at lowes ironically and bought that same knife one Black Friday in a combo pack with another kobalt pocket knife. That knife was my number 1 tool delivering appliances because of the amount of cardboard we cut in a day, and it never let me down once. Still have the knife to this day and use it on occasion being a lineman now. Only 2 complaints I have is once in a while the button will get really weird feeling when pressing it, like a spring of metal wires behind it are getting tangled, but spinning the button fixes it. Other complaint is the clip would often get bent catching on random things though the day, but my channel locks quickly bent it back into shape.

[@svideodotorg]

I'm not sure why everyone thinks you need to make a decision here. God gave me two hands, and there are two nice looking knives here. This can't be a coincidence.

[@dannyparrish724]

I’m retired and take a Milwaukee fast back as well as a good quality folder with me for my honey-lists. The added screwdriver saves me heading back to the tool box. I vote hands down for the Milwaukee...from experience. Great review, thanks!

[@donkeninitz4590]

The screwdriver feature alone makes the Milwaukee my choice.

[@matsudakodo]

I just picked up a set of 3 Kobalt knives. It comes with one of these and two compact versions. I agree that they are pretty nice, however the QC is inconsistent. Some are oiled up and operate smoothly, some not. Some have a pretty tight blade, while some have some wobble. I think I'll need to open them up and rectify that.

[@lougallardo3636]

FastBack wins for me. Was working landscaping in Vancouver, Canada! Slushy rain and salt From ocean will deteriorate most anything. I was lucky enough to find a 1st Gen fastback while planting (IN THE GRUND, cornered in soil.) washed off it instantly worked like new. I still have that fastback. And many more. 10YRS later. Although I would like to see a comparison with the BOSCH lookalike!!

[@aaronrepper7649]

I like the Milwaukee . And the red is nice because I'm always setting it down and losing it and it's easier to find if it's red versus black

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah Aaron, I never even thought about that👊

[@marvelfanr]

I wouldn't mind having either one, but I have the original fastback and I really love it, especially the blade storage.

[@clange50]

Just picked up a Milwaukee 6+1. On mine, the spare blade is loose, held in place by the metal tab. So, if tab down and you push the tab in, the blade just falls partially out. Super easy. Love this thing.

[@leeb.7188]

The thing that sucks about Milwaukee is they don’t sell a replacement bit. They know the bit holder will loosen up over time and it will fall out. So why don’t they either use a detent ball on the bit, or sell a 5-pack of replacement bits? Either it’s shabby engineering, or Milwaukee is hoping we’ll lose the bit and have to replace the whole knife. I hope some other manufacturer copies their knife, but with a better clip and bit!

[@J_Irvine]

This is funny because I just bought the Milwaukee one with screwdriver 2 days ago I have been using the kobalt for years and the minute I put the Milwaukee in my hand I knew I was going to return it!! 😂

[@CaseyA.]

The wire clip on the Milwaukee is for bigger seams such as a tool belt witch I can say works fantastic, the clip on the kobalt looks like it will work better in a regular pants pocket where the Milwaukee tends to slip from my experience.

[@txbill7334]

Just got the FB Gen II (100% 'cause of ur video, thank you, very happy). Don't have the Kobalt, but from what I hear you say, I prefer: Kobalt Pros: * Blade Eject * Blade Stripper & Hand Stripper (sound like the back rooms @ a Detroit titty bar) * Flush Butt Clip (this one too) * $10 Price Tag (last time, lol, this one too) FB GII Pros: * "Blade Storage" * ¼" Hex Driver (Deal Maker for me) * Thinner Body * Rounder, More Ergonomic Body * Lanyard Sounds like both have a 4¾⭐ quick release & as far as the bottle opener, if you can't open a bottle w/ ANY flat hard object, you probably shouldn't be using a knife unsupervised. For me tho, the ¼ Hex seals the deal: FB Gen II for me. Keep up the great content. RNL!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Awesome and thanks for the awesome feedback and comment brother 👊👊👊

[@cameronchicken8439]

i ordered the milwaukee with the screwdriver should be here any day but my longtime favorite utility knife is the “shark knife” it’s basically a non folding utility knife which stores a lot of blades and has a sheath and really great ergonomics and you can extend the blade out pretty far. can’t wait to try the fast back

[@markcraig3702]

I ended up purchasing both the new fast back as well as the previous model , Very happy with both.

[@tileslay6543]

I was part of the 5% on the last video. I appreciate this video. It always depends on what you do. I buy 20-30 kolbolt knives at a time when I can get the price at $8. Let’s be far I will break both of them. I buy commercial blades already in a plastic pack that are in my pocket. I usually have 3 knives each with a different blade in my pocket. Size matters. The slot on the kolbolt when the knife is open is fantastic at accepting lvt or lvp to use as a leverage for a snap. I do flooring, meaning I live or die with a knife. I don’t just cut boxes open and drink. Now for the most part brands matter to me. It’s the evolution of who has the best patients on the tool. You can’t beat the Milwaukee hole saw nor saw zaw. The fien, dominants the vibrators. Every brand has their flagships. But now every brand is also making cheap knock offs. Model numbers are key. Box store are making it almost impossible to buy tools.

[@tileslay6543]

And you made a fantastic point on the way the blade is held in! This is the true deciding factor on longevity. Cover both knives in mortar and glues. Easiest to clean and remove the blade from multiple times it’s the lever. If you are really pushing and using these knives the button will fail allowing the blades to come out. This happens on the kolbolt but about twice as long the life. Dewalt knives had the same push button and that’s what failed before the knive failed. This is only for those who really need knifes.

[@seemoney0314]

Love the Milwaukee fastback, I have 4 different versions of it. I recently picked up a “fiskers pro” and I’m telling you that thing is really nice.. try it out I got it at Lowe’s lol $12.98

[@geoffstrickler]

The older Milwaukee you’re comparing to is not the previous generation, it’s two generations old. The previous generation Milwaukee are the 1500, 1501, & 1502. The Kobalt appears to be a clone of the Milwaukee 1501 except for the blade release.

I use the simpler Milwaukee 1501 - no screwdriver no extra blade. It is more compact and comparing them in the tool shop I went for the thinner model because it fits just right in my pocket. I also like it because it screams tool as opposed to weapon which tends to keep the pantywaists from wetting themselves. The Kobalt is interesting, but the Milwaukee is superb. Just used it to install vinyl plank flooring and it worked well.just the best utility knife I’ve ever owned. .

1. Couldn't care less about a bottle opener. 2. I love my Milwaukee Fastback!

But, I have no need for it since my old one is still just fine. Now, you got me all thinking about this Kobalt one (because I haven't gotten a life since the other day). I must get one. That said, I like the red color of the Milwaukee so I can find it easier. Everything else is always freaking black. I do not need the bottle opener (the hooks for it are kinda sharp anyway). The Kobalt does look pretty good, especially for the price. Damn. I'm gonna be a tool and go get this tool. I'll also check if Lowes is selling lives.
