Milwaukee fastback was god sent hell of a utility knife

I know it looks like it should be fine for drywall, but any pivot knife will eventually fail or be come difficult to use because drywall dust gets into everything and holds oil and moisture, gumming up any part that moves. That's why you should use a fixed blade drywall knife (replaceable blade that doesn't retract) that lives in a leather sheath. But they are great for everything else, especially with the button lock and flip out bit holder.

Try the stainless steel Work Pro axis lock. Easy one hand open and close. You can flick it open and close. Super skinny and small when folded. Nice deep carry pocket clip. Quick blade change. Can get 3 for 15 bucks. They're amazing and the best EDC utility knife out there.

I like my Husky brand. It has a bend to fit the hand while cutting better, and can hold replacement blades inside the handle.

No matter how many knifes i buy i still always go back to the stanley 6 inch classic 😉 reliable sturdy works everytime and can hold a stack of spare blades inside. Perfection

Been using my fastback with the screwdriver for 2 years straight now. Use it everyday at work extensively. For the knife and the screwdriver, and many other things I shouldn't be doing with it (the best tool is the one you have on you). It's been a knife, a screwdriver, a nut driver, a pry bar, A hammer, a door stop. And mines starting to get quite a bit rough. Knife portion works fine, spare blade area is a little rusty, but my screwdriver shaft is getting loose and the retention clip for the bit is getting a little iffy. It's a miracle I haven't lost dual sized bit after all this te using it. All of the ones you've shown look brand new, looks like they've never seen work.

The fast back and the husky version were the only utility knives I kept in my apron .

Fiskars is a great company to do biz with imho. Lifetime warranty on all their products I believe. I had a 10yr old pair of 15” pruning snips that broke and was replaced with the latest and greatest model with no issue. It would be nice if they made their stuff in the USA as well

put the blade holder from the small fastback into the larger one... unless you cutting sold core cable all day the wire stripping slot is useless but specially as an ALT to an EDC knife it's nice to be able to choke up on the blade holder. While it's open you can kinda cheat the breaking in of the buttons a bit.

I use my Milwaukee fastback with hook blade razors for roofing and it's gotten tar all over it and all on the insides and it's still the best utility knife I've ever used I might just have to CLEAN it every once in a while but I've had it for about a year and no problems at all I've also used it for drywall but not enough to get it all clogged like yours just clean it and it will work alot better

When I used to do drywall I was tired of my utility knives getting so gummed up I ended up getting a Mora fixed blade, comes razor sharp, holds an edge pretty well and the sheath was perfect, easy to clip on my belt and with its scandi grind super easy to keep sharp, I kept a work sharp field sharpener in my tools and I could strip it or sharpen it quickly, scandis are super easy because there is no secondary edge, the whole shapened edge you just hold it on that wide edge and sharpen it up. I used that, along with the drywall saw it worked great, nothing to get gummed up and easy to use and put away, they start at like $12 and made in Sweden I believe.

I’ve used the shot outta the black cobalt razor knives, and have always been pleased with them

Check out the black button lock utility knives from kobalt! Switched from the fastback and I love it!

the previous gen fastback has much better build quality if you can find one. better ergos too

I use a fixed blade Stanley. No dust jamming the blade out struggling to open with gloves in winter.

Love the 1505 its the best edc for its price range.

I swear by that fiskers brand knife. Everyone gets too attached to the brand they like to try to new things and if you use the knife consistently the grip on fiskers is unmatched

If you take the craftsman knife apart and clean and lube it properly it’s amazing. If you know how to spydie flick, it’s even better. I love it the key is lube.

Love my fiskar

Klein makes the best button lock razor knife

If it's full of drywall you have 2 options 1 take it apart and clean it with water and a toothbrush or 2 throw it in a lil tub full of wd40 overnight maybe open and close it a few times and toss it back slosh it around then wipe it off and let it set in the sun til dry

Lenox knife is my daily

Plastic or powder coated, either way the mechanisms are the same. If you do want another plastic one, get an older one since it has close to 40% fiberglass reinforcement as compared to 30-35%. Another thing, take them apart occasionally, especially after doing some dusty work, like that. Maintain your tools, even if they don't cost too much.

The best one for drywall is the Dewalt one that doesn’t fold.

Hart has a knife that has out lasted all of them.

Have you tried the bigger fastback my wife has one and loves it for boxes basically because you don't have to open it to use it on box's

The spare blade in the 6 in 1 doesn't stay in mine super well, that's my only complaint

My every day, but looks brand new

I've bought enough utility knives to know just by looking at that Craftsman it's an ergonomic nightmare and would have stayed on the shelf

I swear by the Milwaukee fastback I work in a machine shop tho so I always have access to a air hose and lubricants to clean it

I use my 6in1 for drywall no issues whatsoever

Can they make one that’s big and clunky? Stabs into you leg every time you lean on something

Just stay some wd-40 all over the inside, soak it in it. And work it open and close and you are good, I love my fastbacks

Spray wd40 and it’ll work like new

Just a quick update on drywall dust,, it fucks everything up!!!

plastic fastbacks are junk, try one of the powder coated ones

So #3 is Awesome then why is #4 your everyday?

test out the hart

The OG Milwaukee fast back is the best because its slim. But the Milwaukee is the best out of your selection. The crapsmen name says it all. The fiskers sucks its horrible. Milwaukee all the way for a utility knife and use your fisker in drywall and see how it works

Husky

so the shittiest tool is the one you carry the most… wonder why? Carry all of them equal and then give them a review lol

Sounds like you just need to clean the Milwaukee one bro
