Milwaukee Fastback
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Milwaukee fastback isnt bad
- I literally just came from an event that had metal detectors and I literally just tossed my razor blade in the trash and kept pushing, no issues after they saw it was blade less. I love it
- The fastback is the best bang for your buck utilitarian blade someone could get. If your hard using it and especially cutting carboard, is great.
- Completely agree, don't have to worry about blade scuffing and damage. Wish there were more options for the bit.
- Wanted to show some love to the most used and carried tool I own, the Milwaukee Fastback. ... Favorite tool I own by miles!
Cons
- Exceed designs Tirant razor v3. The best utility knife there is. No, the fastback doesn’t come close (sorry Milwaukee boys)
- Milwaukee fastback
- The only thing I didn't like about mine is that it's not tip up from the factory. Drilled and tapped mine, and now it's great.
- The ball detent is a significant downgrade from the previous version. Can be addressed with heat shrink tubing but shouldn't have to mod a tool right out of the box.
- I’m quitting the Milwaukee. The new ball detent mechanism is absolute trash. I had one(or three) of the old style and they were absolute tanks. ... Just got a new one last week and it’s toast after one day. Bit falls out.
