I have a Stanley fatmax, a gerber Prybrid and a Milwaukee fastback. The Stanley sucks, like the Prybrid and love the fastback.

I have a couple of the Fatmax ones and they’re straight. I had a fastback or two at work and the screwdriver is handy as hell, but the bit retention springs always fail after a little bit of use.

Fixed blade small Esee on the belt as a knoife/ mini pry bar and an 18mm Olfa in the pocket most days. I really like the snap blades because always a sharp blade.

Fastback is hard to beat. I also have the Klein one but I hate the 45 degree blade stop and it only has a phillips bit instead of the double-ended one the Fastback has.

On that note I'm really tempted by Klein's new regular blade knife, it looks like a good EDC design and does have a double-ended bit, but I wish the blade were better steel.

All you need.

Fastback with the driver bit. Fiskars is good too, but too bulky and no spare blade.

And if you're a REAL MAN you use a fixed carpet knife with no sheath

if you actually owned one youd know it sucks to have to take the screw out to change the blade and no retract is fucking gay

Sounds like a skill issue. Screws aren't that difficult to operate and the only reason to ever have to retract the blade is if you are a clumsy-ass bumblefuck and would cut yourself otherwise.

>>3001459
they all use the same blade so it does not matter.

>lets get this shit done asap because my blood alcohol levels are dangerously lo and im shaking like a dog shitting peach pits but i can still flip the blade with 1 hand tied behind my back
>>
>>3001459
You need more than this?
>>
Milwaukee is the best I've ever had but not the one in the OP. You don't need a tool to change the blade or to open the spare blades.
>>
>>3001459
I got a stanley swivel-lock, a couple of the old grey 99, and a piece of shit yellow thing where the slide is on the fucking side - biggest piece of shit there is.
