Milwaukee vs Klein Utility Knife — Only One Stays in My Pocket

One of these is staying in my pocket. The other one's done. Fresh blade change. No excuses. Just slide in and it locks right in. Fresh blade. that client's only cutting through two. Milwaukee is cutting through three layers of cardboard effortlessly. Beautiful cut the clin. Oh, that blade is starting to get thin and it's leaving this. It's not cutting through three layers cleanly. Not cutting through three layers. [snorts] Three stacks of cardboard. Milwaukee. [snorts] Let's throw the Klein in 135 degree angle and see how it does this. It's got the nurling on there. See if it rips through. Beautiful and comfortable. Put the grip up there. Get that thumb up off Get those fingers up off the table and just freaking let it eat. That's comfortable. Blade seems to be doing well for both of them. Don't have an issue on either one of them. Zip ties. Milwaukee first. Beautiful. Klein next. Little struggle with the clin. This is starting to give a little bit. That's freaking barely anything. That's rock solid. This one's got a lot of play. Rock solid rubber hose. Let's see how the Milwaukee does. I got to put a lot more pressure on that to cut through there. This blade is just wanting to feels good in the hands. I think it's time for a blade change. Change the blade out. How about Klein? Oh, no extra blade. You're stuck with what you got. All right, that's enough cutting. Let's screw some in. Bit driver on the back. We got a couple screws here. Let's see how they take them out. Super comfortable. Milwaukee centered above the knife, giving you a full screwdriver-l like feel. And you can just pull them screws right out of there. No issues. If you had to, you switch the bit over to a flat tip. We'll see the client screwdriver. Now, we'll go up here on this one. You can tell that the client is offset. I got nothing to grab as I'm turning. Like, doesn't feel as natural in the hands. I'm wanting to wander a little bit. and no flippable bit. All you got is your Phillips in there, so you can't even flip it and do straight. This is a little This is a little wobbly. Klein does, however, have a removable impact bit. So you just throw the bit right in your impact, put it on there, and you're ready to go. Take it out, throw it back in your knife, go on your way. Your Milwaukee, however, can lock in a 90° position. So you unlock it, it's got this little detent here, which makes it perfect. Makes it perfect for throwing on a 3/8 and driving those leg bolts in with that 90° angle. Same with pulling them out. Just get some nice leverage on there. the clin. You can put this bit in as well. This comes out and just throw this in there as well. But oh locks it right in at 90. Let's move on. Both of these knives have ability to strip wire on them right in the blade. So, let's install an outlet. Grab your wire. stripped. The cool thing about the Milwaukee is you can actually take the belt clip here, throw your wire in that belt clip, like so. Take out your flat tip that Milwaukee provides. Throw that loop right on there like so. Take your flat tip. You're good to go. Client's got the same thing. Wire stripper. Strip that wire back on there. >> [snorts] >> There's really no good way to bend this wire. I mean, you could throw it in the belt clip like the last one. It's not going to. It's not going to create that loop like the last one did, like Milwaukee did. Anyway, go ahead and throw that on there and you're good to go. There's the Milwaukee in the pocket. Slides in there perfectly. Can't even tell. Nice and small. Fits super well. Go ahead and sit down. doesn't really lock right in. Kind of scrunches kind of scrunches the pants a little bit. It is a little bit bulkier in the pants. Doesn't look as natural as the Milwaukee does. sit down. This one's tipped down as well. One cool feature about the Milwaukee that the Klein doesn't have, if you see this indent right here, your tape measure actually hooks right into that indent, which if you guys carpet guys or dry drywall guys, mainly drywall guys, drywall guys, hook that right on your drywall. Hook your tape measure right into your knife. Score it all the way down. Milwaukee wins on that one for sure. I think there's only one clear winner here. Milwaukee 6 in1 is staying in my pocket. Whether it's the fit of the belt clip, the bottle opener after a long day. Being able to have the flathead on the other side and a flip reversible bit, that's a game changer. or whether I'm up on a ladder and I break a blade and Milwaukeee's got extra blade storage on board, it's a no-brainer. It's the Milwaukee for me. The client does shine in some places. That 135 degree angle is amazing. Being able to pull this off and use it at impact is another great addition. Don't get me wrong, it's a great knife, but I think I'm going to keep the Milwaukee in my pocket for now. There's links to both these in the description below along with the gloves that I use. And pick yourself up some blades cuz you're going to need them. I'm going to enjoy this beer. I got to do, people to see, things to clean up. I'll catch you guys on the next one. Drop a comment down below what you guys want to see. Cheers.
