That small workpro is absolutely wonderful and really cheap. Excellent for lighter usage. For more industrial applications I'd go with the milwaukee. I carried it for quite a while until I got my current OTF utility knife. Coolest thing ever.

Just a note, stainless that is magnetic does NOT automatically mean low quality steel, less rust resistant yes.

@@thingsmen Problem is with utility blade, you can cover it with oil but salty water works its way and blade rusts. I never seen stainless utility blades for sale haha.

Been carrying the original Workpro for a few years now. They are perfect. Got a 3 pack for under $20. They work well, feel good to hold, and are cheap, so you can lose them or give them away. If you are installing carpet or dry wall you will obviously want a bigger handle, but these are great for your pocket.

I carried a Gerber E.A.B (or lite) for about 10 years, never broken one, only ever lost them, no complaints. Ever since I saw the TiRant....

I think the Milwaukee fast back (1505), is probably the better value when it comes to pocket space. Having a cutting tool and a screw driver in one device is fantastic. Obviously, if you are using a screw driver or a bit set everyday, you should carry one. But to get you out of a pinch, the Fastback is king. I had a buddy who used to carry a scraper with built in tools, because for her job she was mostly cleaning carbon off metal (specifically carbon in a deep fryer), her scrapper had a screw driver and some other tools built in, so it made perfect sense for her.

Thank you for commenting. I agree the EDC space is populated by various lifestyles and trades so opinions will vary.

When I worked manufacturing,construction I used a Stanley fat max. Later in life tried small edc size for....edc to cut knarly stuff such as heater/radiator hoses, wires stripping, zip ties etc. And saves my premium knives from it, used budget knives for this for decades, grew tired of sharpening worn and dinged edges very often and switched to utility knife for that. Full circle from fat max to mini stuff such as giltek, screw pop (but to small)to folders and outdoor edge utilipro and gereber eab are great. But since I use a compact leather belt organizer, I carry a compact milwaukee now.

Milwaukee 6in1 for me. Carry it in waistband, don't even notice it. Screwdrivers essential for my tasks. Sometimes i edc a Spec ops utility knife, no screwdriver on it, much wider than the Milwaukee. Stores more blades. 2 step opening process. More suited for jacket pocket or bag carry. And then i have to edc an additional screwdriver or prytool.
