When I worked as a plumber we put our tools through some serious abuse and some are even treated as disposable because they get beat so badly but those fastbacks could take one hell of a beating to the point where most of our other plumbers carried them just for the durability and convenience, I don't do that anymore but I still keep a fastback around for really demanding work

Absolutely love that Opinel. I didn't even know they make one like this.

I had a husky one about a year ago. Didn’t have the magnet and kept poking myself when taking it out of my tool belt. Loved it because no one else had one so I never “lost it”. Then I got some dirt between the 2 blades and was never able to open it again lol.

I'v been carrying the 48-22-1505 for while now and love it ! The first thing I did when I got it was take off the pocket clip.

I have the Husky one as a daily edc carry and I love it. It's a very strange shape but it's durable and very practical. If so else fails you can use it as a strike tool is that tough 😂

I love these Milwaukee knives. I have been carrying one as my everyday carry for several years now. I really like the adaptation of the fold-out driver but it only comes with a serrated blade. I prefer the cutting edge to run the full length of the blade. I have never found any use for the serrated edge.

A master bladesmith convinced me that serrated blades are made for folks who don’t know how to sharpen properly. A well-made and properly sharpened straight blade will cut through a 1” hemp rope like butter. I have found this to be true, and only buy straight blades for everything.

I have two of the box cutter and bottle opener style. I love it. The hex driver and replacement blade setup make it the best work knife ever. I do buds fleet maintenance, grounds keeping, and small engine all for one company. This knife covers down in all the areas. Plus it actually stays in my pocket.

I bought the kit and they're the best utility knives I've ever had i love being able to use one hand to open my knife when working.

They improved the bit socket. It’s got a bearing on the one I just bought and it’s a massive improvement on the old one. It’s really snug and safe and smooth. Makes it a useful tool now

I would really like them to come out with a fastback that has a part of needle nose on the other side vs the screwdriver. I feel like I'd use them more (although I've already used the screw driver several times and haven't had it long).

Definitely want the hardline. Didn't realize it was a frame lock.

Wish it had a dedicated looping hole for looping wire. Itd be so helpful changing outlets and switches.

I think there is a wave feature on knife 2. The thought is that is grips the edge of your pocket and deploys the blade on the draw

Just bought a milwaukee hawkbill knife, I love it so far, however they really need to make the release larger. Too hard to close the knife with the small release, especially when wearing gloves

I made an attempt to watch the whole video was very informative I love the fact that you also introduce different brands of knife which is totally awesome I love the French one quick question for the time sake which life of the Milwaukee’s would you say is the best of the best I know they all can be used for different things but if you could only own one which one would it be?….

I’ve been gravitating towards the compact utility one a lot lately. It’s definitely a good size!

Best tool I've ever carried was the 48-22-1906 knife and its predecessor from when I worked in automotive. Used it as a knife, pry tool, smasher, self defense (don't ask), and EDC before I ever knew what EDC was. Carried about ten of them over five years. Two of which were stolen from idiots that couldn't be trusted with a knife, one I purchased myself and it was stolen by a temp, got one purchased for me by as an apology. Solid, solid tool. Used Stanley blades in them exclusively.

the model 48-22-1502 appears to have 2 wire cutters. I use the external wire cutter as a bottle cap opener. It can mar the aluminum a little, but in a pinch (not pun intended).

I am guessing that for the 2nd one with the full knife blade, if they made the blade free moving and can be opened with a flick of the wrist, it would be illegal to carry or own in certain areas, depending on local laws. So they deliberately make the blade stiff. They get away with the free moving box cutter blade since the blade is so short. The black one at 8:40 may be legal in more areas since your finger is pushing on the blade to open it, unlike one that relies on centrifugal force of a wrist movement.

love these - paint them your fav color

I love that 2nd one 😁

Wow. I can’t believe that worked! Just wanted to mention your tip worked so that you can see it went to good use. I’ll tell you I’ve had several flip knives, different fast backs, a few cheaper ones, then I bought the Milwaukee hardline 3.5” -48-22-1999 and in its defense, in a lot of the multitude of awesome reviews it said it’s going to be a tough knife to open for anyone. I have strong hands and have flipped them open so many thousands of times but always with a flip of the wrist outwards. I’ve lubed this one and opened it well over 1000 times now and the damn thing has barely worn to open easier if at all, but no b.s. I just read your tip to flip it with a down wrist flip first and it came open at least twice as easy! Tried it several more times and while it seems counterintuitive it really helps to flip it down first like you said then flip it up/outward! Thanks for the tip👍

Your review is “The Cuts”. Slicing and dicing the details.

I bought it, kinda like it but the really concern about it is the safety, it can slide your finger tip with skin out so easy if we are not becareful enough when try to flip close. it is not convenience if it is has to be always caution before closing the knife.

The lighting is fine

I have 4 of their lock back knifes,had to resharpen the edge on all of them to get them to razor edge

I'd pull the blade and hit it with lithium grease and for the hex drives for the bit I'd get a small 8mmx2mm earth magnet and glue it to the bottom of the hex drivers to help retain the bits

5:11 it may be that the button isn't being pushed in fully when trying to flip it open. The height of the button is different on the different models, and if you have large squishy thumbs, it may not be fully releasing. Push it in all the way and see if gravity makes it swing freely on its pivot. If it does, lubing isn't needed, just use the tip of your finger to push in all the way.

Wait a minute you missing the first and best fastback The one with the solid steel body didn't have a hook through it but was amazing I so miss mine had I think it was three blade slots on the inside for extra blades

You sound normal on 1.5 speed xD Nice video!

Sure would be nice if you could get replacement screwdriver bits. Everybody seems to lose them but stores I’ve seen don’t carry them.

One thing that I don’t see with these newer knives is that they don’t lock on a 45 degree angle but the original fast back does. That’s the only reason I won’t upgrade

On my first knife I used the ¼ to unscrew the little bolt 🔩 and it mess it up that little wire that holds the bit and it's stops holding it up so I tried to fix it but it didn't work and then I went to store and they replaced it for new one because it have life time warranty. The bit is fully corroded.

The Tajima ( 25mm ) you show in this video, in Germany it's called Tajima DFC671 25 mm DORA FIN. 👍 Find on Amazon Germay. The color in Gernany ist black / white, and not black / red. here i use the Tajima 25mm, CB65RB blades. And i love my Milwaukee Fastback 48-22-1502.

Nice video!

If you use a higher quality blade, Like the Irwin, which is thicker, you probably won't be able to squeeze two into the slot, but as those are hardier blades to begin with, one spare should be fine to get you through a day or two of heavy use.

My compact one has serious blade play that won’t come out. The larger one has been fine.

The size of the Tajima 25mm knife makes it inconvenient to carry in a pocket and will take up a lot of space in the toolbox or the tool belt.
