    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

      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.

      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
