@@Floam7 thanks man! I am thinking about an update soon. Have used this setup on quite a bit of work and have made some changes. I will probably go the rough and electrical setup and a plumbing setup soonish as well. I have some other content recorded. It need to edit into videos. I recently moved and am renovating. Content will resume once I have my shop space set up.

If they switch back the design, I would definitely go back to Milwaukee

@@jimboneutron8399 thanks for weighing in! That is definitely a good argument for the Klein. I regret that I didn’t include that locking feature in my original post. I just didn’t know about it at that time. I pinned it in the top comment but more should have been said. Personally I don’t get the bit holder thing. I think the whole setup is a bit too fidgety. And anytime I have my driver I always have all my bits in the same case as the driver so I’m never at a place where I need a little bit holder. That said, a feature is a feature and if it is useful to someone then that settles it. Personally don’t think the trade off with the mechanical slop is worth it. I use my knife as a hand driver mostly and the slop made it a worse experience than the well designed driver in the fast back. I’m thinking about another video to compliment this one on full sized razors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@ i don’t remember the brand but in the flooring section of home depot they have one with a fat roundish handle and a curved design. For what i do thats the best option for full size. Your argument about the bit is completely valid. I just like it because i have an extra screw gun bit on me at all times and i use a screw gun all day long and they do get lost. If im actually driving a screw with my knife i take the driver bit off and put it in the short driver. I do it for outlet covers and stuff like that. Edit: its called Big Fatso Multipurpose Utility Knife at Home Depot. Literally the most comfortable knife to use for a job that has heavy razor use like drywall. Its in the flooring section so no one thinks of it.

Siding off?!? That seems excessive! I think I’m just going to cut it. I’m much more lazy than you 😅

This is basically where my head is at. Cheers!

Best answer here. 👍🏾

Am I wrong...only being doing it for 20 years

@@michaeldart5646 I’m not sure I understand. Explain it to me like I’m 5 😅

That sounds about right. Mmm hmm

Ah I'd pass on vinyl. All that j channel for a 18" area. I'd do concrete siding if you haven't installed anything. Lasts forever and that little area would prob be like 2-3 boards 😂

@@OldManLuffy good eyes! But that is where the batten boards go. I removed the old ones and will replace new ones after the new roof portion is installed and flashing is on.

@@NickDoesThings- there ya go good carpenters solve their own questions most of the tjme

Just seen your comment after posting mine 👌🏼 exactly what I’d do.

Ahh, bummer, we disagree. No big deal! You can have my Klein lol.

you said it! 😂

What do you mean? You can just pop any old quarter inch bit in the fastback. I have done it many times. Sometimes I keep a T or R bit in there if I am doing a certain job. The only thing is it would be difficult to replace the Milwaukee double sided bit. But if you loose it you can keep any bit in there, but will be limited to one type of bit. So it would downgrade the Fastback to being a little closer to the Klein, as the Klein starts out with the limitation of just one bit. However, I know there have been different iterations of the fastback bit holder. Maybe the other versions take a special size bit? I haven't heard of it but its possible. All the FBs I have had use a ball detent. Maybe you had a different experience with a different iteration of this tool from years ago? Thanks for the comment!

@@NickDoesThings- yes you can but nothing to retain it and the bits are loose in it. And if you leave the bit in then it can come out just enough to keep the bit holder from opening. Milwaukee really needs to make replacement bits available. The Klein doesn’t have the issue. Any bit stays in it. With kids who borrow tools without asking, the Klein is a better choice.

@@fortwoods I understand where you are coming from. That would be super annoying. I guess I lucked out, my fastback holds normal bits with no issues. I currently am running a T8 bit because of something i'm working on at my job. It's been in my fastback for 3 weeks, no issues. I COMPLETELY agree that M needs to sell replacement bits. I think they are missing a market. They could even sell other configurations. I'm sure electricians would love to see a fastback with a square drive.

True bro, there is a knack to it. But it is a comparison video, gotta compare something! cheers!

I'm still loving the Toughbuilt I showed in this video. Been on 15 job sites and still works like brand new. With a little less paint though! And yes, I'm really not much of a Milwaukee fan, so it pains me to carry that red knife every day...haha! But it's a great stinking edc.

I um...yeah...I probably use that feature more than I should. 😅

Right on man!

I purchased it at lowes, but unfortunately they no longer seem to cary it. It tought to find right now, my guess is toughbuilt are sort of in between contracts for retail stores. Google the following key words and you should be able to find it somewhere online: toughbuilt, 5-in-1, electricians knife, multitool, pry bar

Same and same. Yeah, you would think that the flathead would have been the first choice for Klein. To be honest, I far prefer the Klein brand over Milwaukee. This knife is one of only two Milwaukee tools I cary. But I have a bunch of Klein stuff that I love. Its hard for me to admit how well M did with their fastback line! 😅 If I had never used the fastback, I probably would not have been so hard on the Klein in the video. But because it was such a similar product, the shortcomings were just more obvious when using both. PS I definitely use that bottle opener a little more often than I probably should!

Do you think the bit holder on the Milwaukee is the weak point because of the fact that the bits are proprietary? Or is there another reason you don't like the bit holder? I used to have a fastback that did not have a ball detent. But the one I cary now does have a ball. Therefore it has no problem accepting different bits. Although, I haven't tried any other double sided bits because I don't have any. But I suspect it would work just fine for them.

@@NickDoesThings- I've had the screw that keeps the bit holder there come out, I've had the old-style internal band fall out and lost the bit, and the new-style external band came off on the first day with my newest one. It just isn't a good design and the fact that no ordinary bits fit it is a hassle too.

@@NathanBake Dang bro, you have had some bad luck with these things! Or maybe I have just had good luck! I have not experienced failure. I have had multiple, not because they have malfunctioned, but because I lost them, then found them again after I purchased a replacement. There is definitely room for improvement thought. I personally would like to see the pivot point be bulked up, I am always nervous I am going to break it.

nnnnnot really. @ProjectFarm did a comparison from which I believe Milwaukee came out on top (If I remember correctly). But my take away from the comparison is that the Stanley blades perform really well for the money. So that's what I use. TBH I change blades constantly. I'm not one of those guys who uses a blade until its no longer a blade but rather a sliver of metal...lol. As soon as I sense some dulling I swap. So I can't speak with much authority on how long a given blade will retain its edge.

You are a lot like me! haha! I have tons of these things. If you are considering the Lenox, you might check out their other offering in this category. The Lenox LX250. I was not able to get a hold of one for the making of this video but they look awesome. They actually have a bit driver with storage in the handle to hold two bits. The Lenox stuff is super well made. Cheers!

Hart is Wallmart. They are owned by TTI, the same company that owns Milwaukee, Ryobi, Rigid, etc. The handtool lines art Harbor Freight are mostly Icon, Pittsburgh, and Doyle. And I have to say, I freaking love the Doyle stuff. All my Doyle stuff is holding up really really well and is decently comfortable to use.

Welcome to the club! You are in great company my friend!

I prefer to simply yell "headache!" a little too late for someone to actually move...😅

As I understand it TTI acquired Hart to sort of beef up their selection of hand tools. I am a shareholder and that was what they said back when they made the acquisition. But it seems like they pivoted from that to simply offer an entire line of tools for homeowners. I'm not sure about the production. I know Milwaukee does some manufacturing in Germany, and Mexico as well as China and Vietnam. But I am pretty sure Hart is only produced in China. Not sure if that means anything. I personally could care less about where a tool is made if it is good. And the fastback is good. Thanks for the comment!

I purchased mine from Lowes. But the last time I looked for this knife, it was no longer there. I have not looked into the specifics but I noticed that Lowes pulled way way back on their Toughbuilt offerings in 2024. I haver even seen Toughbuilt oddly show up in Harbor Freight...wild! I don't know what is happening there. You can still find it online id different places under different names. Google "Toughbuilt Electricians 5 in 1." Maybe tag "pry bar" and "folding knife" in the search. You should find it that way.
