I like the drywall saw, but not enough to compensate for the off-center driver, so I’d still choose the Milwaukee. If the knife were a staple puller (like rack-a-tiers’ staple shark) instead, I’d be more interested. Might see if I can Frankenstein something!

[@WhiteVaille]

Agree

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

Stank n fryeunk

[@GenghisDom]

Ehh.. I had a foldable drywall saw for a while. It was more of a pain than anything. It liked to fold while I was using it

[@codygooch510]

Nothing more useless than an off centered screwdriver. Absolutely useless.

[@mrarivv0007]

​@@codygooch510 I think you're over complicating what a screwdriver does for the sake of consumerism.

The Milwaukee has a dedicated beer opener. That’s all you need to know in deciding which to buy

[@johnossendorf9979]

I can't stand beer and have no use for the bottle opener, still staying with my 6 in 1 Fastback.

[@wayward-saint]

Everything is a bottle opener. Just like everything is a hammer. Some are just better than others.

[@itsgandolf5763]

Best part is that it can be used to open paint cans

[@danielorozco1728]

Nonlocking bitdriver is a deal breaker

[@ScottyJ8705]

Centered bit driver is a game changer. It's a necessity on any multi tool I get from now on. So I'd choose the Milwaukee.

[@Funhog29]

Milwaukee. I carry it because of the locking bit driver and I use that feature every time I carry it.

[@sadfur8728]

Do you have to be careful not to apply too much torque on the bit driver to avoid breaking it? Is it metal construction for the mechanism?

[@Funhog29]

@@sadfur8728 I’ve never had a problem applying all the torque I need. It’s all metal construction except for the plastic scales on the outside of the handle.

[@sadfur8728]

@@Funhog29 have you used it in right angle configuration as well as inline? If it can withstand that, sounds like I'll have to get one-

​@@sadfur8728 I use it all the time. I also carry the Klein 2 in 1 5/16" and 1/4" magnetic bit driver that has a 1/4 inch drive shaft. Any 1/4 inch bit will fit in, and it makes doing quick diagnostics without lugging my toolbag around simple. It has saved me a lot of time if I realize I need to open a panel or unscrew something without my tools.

[@gaiaswarrior6158]

Gonna get it too for my bug out bag

[@Grooveworthy]

Ive owned one for 2 years now and its basically my most used edc tool.

[@GooGz]

Found my fastback in the woods next to a job site, cleaned it up and been using it for over a year, best little thing ever.

[@Lil.Yahmeaner]

The fastback can’t be beat, use it everyday, simple and reliable

[@TacticalThib]

I can send my fastback if anything messes up a lot of people don't realize but all Milwaukee hand tools have a lifetime warranty!!

[@maxbabich20]

Milwaukee. Carry it everyday and that bottle opener gets a workout! Can’t live without it

[@FranksShitBoxCollection]

The Milwaukee also has a bottle opener and strips wires easily.

[@theblogofsingh]

and carry an extra blade

[@patrickglaser1560]

Fast back, perfect work knife for IT work.

[@Ersk88]

I’d still pick the fastback..they have a special place in my pocket..been using them for years…if I need to cut through drywall or any material like that..I’ll carry a serrated blade in the spare blade holder

[@ryanduff1228]

That’s actually exactly what I do with my 6-in-1. I have one serrated and one standard blade onboard as my standard EDC set-up. I select the blade based on the task

[@krarambitm4nn538]

Plus a Milwaukee lifetime tool warranty

[@jellyfish1433]

Been carrying a fastback at work and I’ve been loving it! Don’t use the screwdriver often, but it has been super nice when I had it (had to fix a few loose cart wheels) but my biggest complaint is that it’s tip down carry. Everything else from the action, to the screwdriver, and the simplicity of changing out the blades is amazing, but the tip down carry will always mess with me being a big knife guy 😂

[@ryanduff1228]

Fastback 6-in-1. I carry it now and I love the in-line driver. I also like how slim and light weight the Fastback is and I’m sure you have to sacrifice a bit on both those metrics to get all-metal and additional tools in there on the other one.

[@bradenhood6620]

The Milwaukee been using the fastback with extra blade storage and seatbelt cutter for about a year and a half best box cutter I’ve ever used for it’s price. Also you can use the pocket clip to as a key for paint cans.

[@randysmith9636]

Milwaukee, not even close. That Milwaukee will still be working when that cheap knock off has fallen apart.

[@joewatts2940]

I'm sticking with my Milwaukee

[@RovingRoninEDC]

I’m not a big multi user, more an EDC knife collector. That locking system looks nearly identical to the Shark Lock on a Demko AD 20.5! It’s a great system… that’s actually impressive

[@jonahdavis9206]

Lol yoo I was going to say that too lol cheap copy cat shark lock

[@gregoryrichardson3236]

Ok so I recently bought the EDC utility knife for this new job that involves opening and breaking down many boxes through out the day. So far it has been good to me. I will say, the saw it’s self is pretty underwhelming. Now I have not tried cutting drywall with it. The blade is pretty good. Very sharp and is firm when deployed. The bit driver I’ve used a couple times but it sucks that it doesn’t not keep locked. It cammed out and I hit my knuckle. But utility knife gets the job done

[@martinmadsen4162]

the milwaukee one. the non locking bit driver off to the side is just a no go

[@drfailbucket]

Absolutely the edc fans bc i work almost everyday with drywall and the fact it has this little saw is nice for cutting small holes etc, the bitdriver for "pushing" some screws that tiny little amount more into an the "knife" for making a very delicious sandwich 👌😋

[@Gygesdcom]

Milwaukee all the way. I grabbed one a few years back and knew nothing about it. I just needed a box knife at the time. Everyone who uses it likes it. There is noted difference compared to all the others I have used

[@azdeh1894]

I had my doubts about the fastback but finally tried it and it really comes in handy as a general contractor. Would buy again once needed.

[@anthonyzawislak4390]

I carry the Milwaukee everyday. Do quite a bit of electrical on a daily basis along with drywall. Can say personally this knife has changed my game. Being able to take outlet covers off without searching for a flathead is a game changer. Coworkers kinda hated on it at first…. Now they all ask me when they need a knife or a screwdriver

[@JAERepair]

The fast back with the screw driver i use everyday at work. Once, in a pinch, i took a dashboard apart with the phillips bit. The blade is great for cutting, stripping wire and even scraping. The disposable blade makes it so i can easily misuse it and just pop a new blade in. Didn't even notice the bottle opener till it was run over on a gravel road and went through a washing machine cycle 😅

[@michaelhmfic8346]

The locking bit driver is the winner. I find my self often pushing really hard on screws and don't want it to fold up on my hand. Now if I was a electrician the dry wall saw and regular knife blade would be pretty slick

[@phil4208]

I have the Milwaukee tool and it's my edc and it has a 5yr warranty since I purchased it from home depot, the other tool looks interesting but I'm happy with just the one

[@DingleFlop]

MORE UTILITY KNIFE MULTITOOLS YESSSSS

[@oakesclassic6294]

The Milwaukee is just incredibly smooth all around. The button mechanism to open and close is solid and easy. The clip on the back is solid and this tool rarely ever falls off my belt. The screwdriver works well and is reversible and sturdy. It’s lightweight and compact. I honestly don’t want anything extra on it. If I feel like having more I’ll carry an additional multi tool, but the Milwaukee fast back 6 in 1 is hands down my favorite tool ever. Im not sponsored by Milwaukee btw, I just really love the fast back

[@Klperformance68]

I’d take the Milwaukee. Had a little over a year & it’s been a beast! That other looks like it would break under any stress..

[@hossbarker3523]

Unlocking helps a whole lot keep holding up on you and stuff while you're trying to use it

[@Munkendrunky]

I carry the 6in1 fastback. Love it. I do wish it had a metal body and a thumb stud, but I love the bit driver, which, because it's centered, is just as useful and even more comfortable in the hand than a full size screwdriver.

[@matthewirizarry8467]

I have used both of these. My Milwaukees kept disappearing at work, and since everyone uses them, you can never tell who swiped it unless you really fucked yours up to make it distinguishable. So i bought the EDCFans one to have something different and give it a shot. It's not as ergnomic. The utility blade (which is in constant use at my job) doesn't flip open and closed as easily. The driver doesn't lock open. And i found that i didnt need the knife blade or drywall saw at all really. Ended up giving it to a coworker and just getting another 6 in 1.

[@rniejx4219]

The milwaukee hands down. If I need to spend any more time than a instant flick, i use real tools. the fastback just works soo smoothly in the hand both ways that its unbeatable.

[@xxXCharlesXxx]

Milwaukee all the way. Keep it simple. I carry that knife everyday. Its slim and comfortable. The more gadgets you add the thicker it gets.

[@joemcnamara5618]

Carry Milwaukee every day at work feels nice in hand

[@buttertoast117]

I have a first gen fastback(no driver) and I love it. Goes with me to work everyday day.

[@solarflare1008]

I will take both

[@jw8901]

I still pick the Milwaukee because I have a few years of use on mine and it still works great. Best pocket knife I've ever owned.

[@soulman4292]

I used the Milwaukee daily at work, especially since the driver has caused me to carry one less tool more often than not. It’s also saved my ass on some emergency calls already. You would be shocked at what being able to tighten or loosen a Philips screw can solve on those 3 am runs.

[@oakesclassic6294]

Did maintenance for a while. At all times I would have my leatherman on my belt, then in my cargo pockets a set of tiny channel lock pliers, slip-joint pliers, crescent wrench, and electrical tester. Then to complete my load out was my fastback. I could solve 75% of my issues without even having to get more tools and I could easily carry all these in my cargo pants. The fastback is so smooth and well made, that’s been my favorite tool ever since I got it.

[@209chevymon]

milwaukee handz down i freakin use that thing all the time and love it i hope they never stop makin that model

[@Caveira138]

I'd like to thank you. I picked up the Milwaukee in a 2 pack for like $10. Good tool and I'm not afraid to lose it like my Kershaw 😂

[@the_patriot7]

Obviously it's not the same because everything Milwaukee produces is the best in the world . They are a very competitive company and that's why they are successful !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@KingNuma.k82]

Fastback all the way! Been using them for years and have NEVER found a good replacement for the price. I fell it even trumps some of the higher utility blades

[@twistedenjoiskater]

I have that exact Milwaukee knife, Nothing beats it

Milwaukee all day! …. And I run dewalt tools. The fastback is my edc knife I love this thing

[@billymolina6675]

I have been searching for utility knife folder with a jigsaw blade like the leatherman

[@luv-lost]

The reason the Milwaukee has become a staple is because the balance and availability. They are great tools you can get anywhere with just as much functionality as ya need without trying to do to much. I still have my 1st gen without the driver. Carry it every day

[@LucklessGun]

now this, is pretty freaking cool.

I love the iso saw in that Amazon knife for laying iso board it's awesome

[@norzoloco1]

As a painter and sometimes carpenter, my fastback 6 in 1 stays clipped to my right pocket, and I have a Hyde flip out 5 in 1 clipped to my left pocket which I can use as a scraper or chisel or to open paint cans.

[@Adamabe1221]

i used to use the kershaw one alllll the time when i was a stage manager

[@demonicmachina]

That locking center bit driver is the game changer between these 2

[@devontrent6986]

I carry the Fastback and use it daily. Also carry a Leatherman Wave for pliers and real knife if I need it, and it has a saw blade too.

[@Mr_Everyman]

I personally carry that fastback AND one other fastback knife daily and will continue to.

[@Moldugas]

I have carried this Milwaukee fastback for a year now and love it. Other one looks like garbage.

[@drdozer]

I'd still go with the Milwaukee. My 6in1 is now lost somewhere in a dark corner of the warehouse. I just went with the normal fastback this time. I found the bit would get stuck and rusted in the holder and the last time I got it out the circlip just fell out and I inevitably lost the bit. The locking part of it would unlock if I put too much force on her and even though I only had it for like 6 or 7 months it looked like I had it for 6 or 7 years. I also found that the notch for the button lock had worn down pretty significantly and the blade had a lot of play in it and the blade holder would get a little tight when changing out blades so I took it all apart cleaned it up and lubed her nicely.

[@maxlvledc]

I wish they had one with same toolset but tougher..

[@randellt]

I carry a Leatherman Surge and the Milwaukee... Great combo.. Oh and a small flashlight that attaches to the leather man case along with a 4" Knipex that fits behind the leatherman.

[@brandonelieff1158]

Honestly the second one. Looks like a good tool. You can always stick a little magnet in it.

[@scottbarrett3191]

Milwaukee all day… I’ve had one for years even came with a back up/spare but without the screwdriver.

[@makowshark]

The red swiss army knives i used to have as a kid are all grown up

[@timothykappel198]

Most definitely worth it if u like it and u use often. Personally I use a Lennox gold fixed bade as my razor blade holder. It has the perfect handle/hand feel for heavy duty and every day use plus the end where the blade goes is curved down so your hand is in a better position. I see they also have a gold flip bade one also. I know Lowe's carries them and Lennox has awesome tools. They are more expensive than your other brands but man u get what u pay for.

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Definitely the second one

[@3.eyes.open.]

Fastback for sure because it's a fookin button lock like my beloved pocket jewelry Spyderco smock

[@kirivanyam5969]

I like the placement of the driver as I can actually use it at 180 turns verse the center for those screws that are sided. I added KPL oil but it'll needs to be broken in more. Just realized mines not branded😅

[@The..Dark..Knight]

That center line locking bit driver is the dealmaker for me. Trying to use a bit driver that just wants to fold up while using it on tighter screws you need to apply more pressure to is BEYOND aggrevating.

[@aurelioriveirococina]

Out of stock last time on home depot. I hope next time on US I can buy it.

[@brain4154]

definitely not enough to make me switch lol

[@ViresEtDecus]

Milwaukee all day. Since I got that fastback I haven’t needed anything else out of a knife. Only other thing I’ve needed since is a decent pair of edc pliers.

[@ojmcbaggins]

Both at the same time!

[@jerimiahake]

I own both of these. The Milwaukee stays in my tool belt and the other is in my BOB. The Milwaukee has a smaller profile and is a little easier to carry.

[@kevinbritt8427]

I had this for a good few months at work until it got stolen. Used the saw once to cut a pvc cap off. Wasn't bad but didn't need everything so I've stuck with the milwaukee ever since. The screws also started coming loose somewhat regularly

[@MitchChubey]

I love how a knife has an extra knife as a feature..😂

[@johnjohnblazin]

I use the Milwaukee, the one in this video and it came with another one without the screwdrivers which is my go to daily , (the one without the screwdriver is better because it doesn't get caught up on shrink wrap and other things when trying to cut through

[@kempokiai]

Wow! A knife with a saw and another knife with a subpar bit driver and a sticky folding mechanism for the same price as a drywall knife with smooth action and a proper bit driver! I take the Milwaukee 10 times out of 10.

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

I like the glass reinforced nylon Milwaukee. Its lighter and doesnt scratch stuff up.

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

Also I have no need for a razor and a knife in the same pocket tool. I have the Milwaukee in my pocket and a Leatherman Wave in my bag.

[@chrisjones6002]

I might have to get one for work. The drywall saw is more important to me than the bit driver so its an easy choice for me.
