What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this utility knife for its magnetic screwdriver bit, compact pocket-friendly design, and sharp, easy-to-replace blade. The integrated magnetic impact bit holder is called a game-changer, eliminating the need for separate tools and saving trips to the tool bag. The superior belt clip stays secure, and the push-button blade release mechanism is appreciated for simplicity and safety. Most find it ideal for everyday carry and quick job-site fixes. A few mention wishing for a flathead bit option and note the plastic construction could feel more durable, but these minor concerns don't diminish overall satisfaction.

Would RecommendCompact and easy to use. The bit on the end is a nice touch.
Better options out there
Would Not RecommendI've been using the Milwaukee Fastback for years, but I'm a fan of Klein so I picked this up while I'm t was on sale. Waste of money. I liked the idea of a removeable bit holder, but it's very loose (and with a weak magnet) and I lost it the first day I had it.
You can change the bits
Would RecommendIt is a very helpful tool on the job

The bit driver isn't great
Would Not RecommendIt's a decent folding utility knife. The pivot is much smoother than I was expecting when opening and closing. The lock feels very sturdy as well. I plan on adding a tiny amount of blue loctite to the screws on the blade holding portion because I can see where the small screws could potentially come loose or pop out with an imact like dropping the knife while open, onto something hard like concrete. The problem I have is with the bit driver. The lower portion of the shaft is a composite material...

Good quality
Would Not RecommendVerified Purchaser
It works just fine.
Regardless of my opinions. It does its intended job! However, both the knife and driver have become a bit loose. The driver is a 2 piece setup. 1 small extension and 1 bit head (only Philips). This is Downgrade if comparing to the Milwaukee.

Love the tool minues 1 minor issue
Would RecommendAs the title says, I love this tool, its great tool to have on hand. I work in roadway construction and having this tool in my pocket saves me from having to dig through my truck to find a knife or screw driver. However, I have 2 minor issues or requested upgrades, Id love for a version with an aluminum casing. the plastic is night and light, but a version with aluminum would be great. Also, maybe a double sided bit, Flat and philips combo? As i said, great tool, just minor upgrade requests ...

Pretty Good as a Knife
Would RecommendThe knife portion of this tool is pretty good. I didn’t expect the locking mechanism to have a detent at ~45° but I’ve grown to like it. The nut driver/screwdriver arm is a neat touch but the locking mechanism should have been the same type as the mechanism for the knife. Plus, the bit holder isn’t magnetized so bits fall to the floor when working less than horizontal. I bought this because it was priced very near/below the Kobalt brand without the nut driver.
