7 Reasons This Milwaukee EDC Folding Utility Knife Makes Sense

Meh, I'll hold out for the festool version made of solid plastic, with a proprietary ceramic blade, and which I can easily hook up to dust collection.

Milwaukee's Best? The 48-22-1505 Utility Knife with Bit Driver. EDC meets Shop Tool for the win.

Ive got one like it without the screwdriver and bottle opener, its just a flip knife with the replacement blade holder. I love it.

I have no brand loyalties, majority of my power tools are dewalt, but I’ll say the milwaukee gravity style utility knives are my favorite. Easy one hand opening, and they haven’t gone completely loosey goosey in several years now.

The bit holder is good for me. Any other brands have a bit holder?

Been rocking the inexpensive Fastback for years. Love the ability to just swap in a new razor blade.

Love these. One of the only Milwaukee tools head and shoulders above the rest. Klein has a similar one but it falls short.

Downside for this guy is there are two versions of the bit holder. Integral spring detent is most excellent. Captured ball and spring under the external sleeve is garbage- the sleeves come off so easy; avoid at all cost.

I hate the button type utility knifes.

I bought a few thinking they would be great, in reality what happens is you try flip it open, forget to let go of the button, and it just flops back closed.

Kobalt still makes the best compact utility knife.

Utter crap, blades slip out, god forbid the bit holder in the middle falls out  because then you'll accidentally slip a finger into the blade

Just regular utility knife blades. I usually use Stanley because their 100 packs come with a good dispenser.

You're supposed to but it in your pocket.

I may give one a shot, but the beauty of these folding, pocket utility knives is that they should be small enough to put anywhere and even carried with your regular EDC knife or multitool where you can abuse the cheap replaceable razor blades.

Duratech and Workpro are good designs:




I much prefer the button lock to liner locks for this type of utility knife. Simpler to execute safely and they also lock the knife when folded. The deep pocket clip is a great feature to slip the thin utility folder in the back pocket.

Better and cheaper. I have both. Use this one for grafting.

Ive used the husky ones.  Lifetime warranty.
Swap at home depot.
Older models had a shitty blade lock and blade would slip out.
Later types have been rock solid.
When you drywall, you swap blades a lot.  
I use them all the time.

#3 in two years. They tend to disappear sometimes.

I don't like folders. I also like having the ability to adjust blade depth depending on what I'm cutting.

It's one of my most used tools.

I like Milwaukee, just not that style utility knife.

I like mine. Use it almost everyday. It is a little bulky though

They're cheap ass utility blades, does it matter? You can buy more expensive blades, but this is exactly the purpose for such a blade....abuse the shit out of it and replace...

If abused as in for self defense, would the blades tend to break off?

I got a package that had 2 different milwaukee folding razor blades in it.  I'd have to look closer to see which one is which.
