Milwaukee introduces Fastback II Utility Knife

Words: Katherine O'tooleMilwaukee Tool Corporation continues to expand their Hand Tool offering with the new Fastback II. A direct reflection of jobsite research and requests to include blade storage for added convenience, the Fastback II™ has all the award winning features of the Original Fastback™ Utility Knife, with the addition of magnetic blade storage that folds into the handle for maximum accessibility.

Designed to activate the blade 3X faster than a 2-handed opening, the Fastback II™ Utility Knife features a Press & Flip-one handed blade opening for easy activation. In addition, a tool free blade change allows for fast and efficient adjustments, while a thin body design makes it easy for a user to store the knife in their pocket. The new magnetic blade storage will hold one spare blade at a time to keep the profile of the blade as slim as possible.

An integrated gut hook and wire stripper also increase utility by allowing the user to make cuts without exposing the blade and eliminates the need to look for another tool to accomplish the task at hand. When the Fastback II™ is not in use, a wire form belt clip effortlessly attaches to pockets without tearing up material.

The Fastback II™ is the first addition to the Fastback™ line of utility knives and will be available through Milwaukee distributors. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the new tool confirms Milwaukee’s commitment to best-in-class durability and their relentless commitment to provide innovative solutions to the end user that will increase productivity.
