Universal Replacement Bit Sets for Popular EDC Multi-Tools like Milwaukee Fastback.

A person in a discussion about a plumber's EDC items vented their frustration, saying, "Ugh, is your Fastback also missing the bit? I've been trying to find a replacement everywhere." This points to a real and urgent need for easily accessible replacement parts for this specific and popular multi-tool.

A product opportunity here is 'Dedicated Replacement Bit Sets for Milwaukee Fastback Utility Knives.'

These would be small, affordable kits containing the exact double-sided Phillips/flathead bit (or other specific bits for different Fastback models like the 6-in-1) that often go missing. The kits could be sold individually or in small packs (e.g., 2-pack, 3-pack) and marketed directly to Fastback users, potentially through hardware stores, online tool retailers, and EDC-focused shops.

The expected benefit is to provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for Milwaukee Fastback users to quickly restore their tool's full functionality when the original bit is lost. This extends the usable life of a popular tool, saves users the cost and inconvenience of replacing the entire knife, and directly addresses a frequently encountered problem.
