The fastback boasts a smooth, one-handed opening mechanism that lets me cut open boxes with ease, keeping my other hand free for the important stuff.Built to Endure: Menards isn't exactly a gentle environment. Between heavy boxes, dropped tools, and occasional bumps, a knife needs to be tough. This one takes it all in stride. The sturdy construction and comfortable grip ensure it can handle anything my stocking adventures throw its way.Safety First: No review would be complete without mentioning safety. The Milwaukee comes with a secure blade lock that keeps it closed when not in use, preventing accidental cuts.

The Milwaukee fastback has multiple blade options, letting me tackle zip ties, plastic wrap, and even the occasional rogue cable tie with ease. It's become my go-to tool for all sorts of stocking tasks.More Than Just a Knife: It might seem silly, but a good tool can make your job more enjoyable. The fastback has made my stocking shifts smoother, faster, and even a little less stressful. It's a reliable companion, a time-saver, and a true stocking essential. So if you're looking for a utility knife that won't let you down, take it from a Menards veteran: the Milwaukee is the real deal.P.S. Did I mention the price? Let's just say it's another reason to smile.

I quit carrying expensive folding. Knifes and almost exclusively carry Milwaukee folding utility knives. These knives are cheap enough that I avoid tears when I remember I still have a knife in the TSA line that I can throw it in the trash but made with enough quality that they still last years. Blade stays in place extremely well as compared to other brands of folding utility knives. It makes it so convenient to be able to have a second sharp side to a blade as well as being able to just swap out the blade when it starts to get dull. Will continue to buy these and stash them around the house, garage and barn.

Small, light, comfortable to hold, well-built, durable.

Great knife. Easy to use. I just ordered a second one. It is very to easy to open and close. I wish I got one earlier. I highly recommend in d this knife.

This is by far the best box cutter I’ve had, and I’ve tried several different ones. It fits in my pocket, is quick and easy to use, and has held up to my job well. I’ve used it just about every day since getting it and it hasn’t shown any signs of falling apart or loosening.

Great price for a great knife

There really isn't much to say. It does what it needs to do (holds the box cutting blade in an easy fold away package). It is compact and lightweight so it is a compromise on other fronts. If you have to use a box cutter frequently there are more comfortable options.

I have owned several of the Fastback knives over the last couple years and continue to buy more, not because they are failing, but because if I lose one or forget to grab one when I leave for work or a project I refuse to go more than a day without it. Simple, well built, not rattly like many other knives. Easy to draw, easy to open and close, and easy to change blades. It is a tool that I regret not buying years ago, and with the price as low as it is I make sure I always have one at the ready!
