Milwaukee 48-22-1540 5-in-1 Folding Utility Knife

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-22-1540 is a 5-in-1 folding utility knife designed for tradespeople who need a compact, multi-function cutting tool on the job site. The FASTBACK folding design keeps the blade secured when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental cuts during transport or storage. Five integrated functions consolidate common cutting and scoring tasks into a single tool, reducing the need to carry multiple blades or instruments. At 2.25 pounds per packaged unit, the knife is built for daily trade use across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical work.

This utility knife suits residential and commercial trade applications where quick, repeated cuts are part of routine work. Electricians use folding utility knives for stripping cable sheathing and scoring conduit markings. HVAC technicians reach for them when cutting insulation, duct liner, or flexible duct wrap. Plumbers and general contractors carry folding knives for scoring, notching, and trim work. The FASTBACK design is intended for one-hand opening, which supports workflow efficiency in tight spaces or when one hand is occupied.
