milwaukee fastback with screw driver attachment. I'm no contractor and use this thing all day everyday. Primarily as a knife but the screwdriver has came in clutch countless times. You can get a two pack for under $20

Ok. I bought one of these three weeks ago based on this post.

Holy shit.

I've been a Leatherman or knife carrier most of my life. But I have reached for my new Fastback more than most multitools I've ever owned.

In these past weeks I have:

  • Taken a fence apart to back a truck into the yard of a friend who was moving.
  • Opened several boxes that I wouldn't have needlessly dulled my knife blade on.
  • Removed the blade to scrape residue off of a window more than once.
  • Used the flathead to pry whatever small retaining clip needed persuasion.
  • Cut the end of of zip ties totally flush.

I know not everyone will have this experience. But the disposable blade coupled with a 1/4" bit was an absolute game changer for me.

Thanks, OP

the tanto fastback with screwdriver is a pretty good looking design. I'm adding that one to my wishlist. Lol

Was coming here to post this. I cannot overstate how much I use this thing daily. Bought it to help with some diy projects, and ended up carrying it everywhere I go. This is one of those few items less than $20 that I honestly can't see being without anymore.
