WTB Stanley FatMax utility knife

I think the move is to have the squeegee 3d printed.

Then the knife you have can live forever.

He answered it. It has a blade squeegee. Which he likes even though they eventually wear out.

"Eventually" was 20 years. Though it mostly lived a life of luxury. The wipers were fine until I used the knife to dig grout out of my shower. The 1st gen version is also thinner and lighter than the newer one.

I don't own that knife, never even seen one. But I am curious as to why Gen1 is so much better than Gen2 (in your opinion).

Thread Jacking again - has anyone ever found a thread compound like they use on those fittings. I've looked - I remember asking Tim Firpo about it once and he said if I ever found it let him know - he's tried for years.

I tried getting that specified on a machine several years back. Quantities were prohibitive - I think they started at 100k pcs.

one of my old employees did own that Gen 1 fat max. it was pretty trashed though. As a daily user and lover of a good utility knife I can't imagine that squeegee worked that well.
this is my Jam. love this Design

Thanks for Intel guys. Bad news. And yeah camozzi fittings looked like that first and sucked because the retaining collar was hard to use.

Do they make a non swivel in the new style? Does it have the same collar as the original style?

I don't use macro a lot but it's still a bummer.

Let's get this guy a fatmax gen one utility knife!

The second photo is a camozzi fitting. Order norgrens from air soldier or another reputable shop.
Edited to provide link. Asp is still active order with confidence https://airsoldier.com/product/norgr...line-fittings/ he hasn't given up on paintball yet.
And yeah the camozzi are inferior tho they are marginally lighter weight when comparing both of the swivel variety.

Nope, the second photo is right off IMI Norgrens site.

I ordered from ASP a year ago and got this new style, in a sealed norgren bag.

Soooo anyone have a Gen 1 fatmax tho

I attempted to order a few norgrens from ASP not too long ago but he sent me the new style without any prior communication so returned it. I get he's a one man operation, but it took a month just to get the wrongly picturered fitting so that was disappointing. He did mentioned he was meaning to update the listing which doesn't seem so 😕

And we are keeping this thread on top!

Get em 3d printed for real.

Did norgen fittings change?

yes, the fitting in that pic is the older generation - if you order them now you'll almost certainly get this - which works but has a very different form


I'll stop hijacking rawbutter's text now. Free bump at least?

If there is ever a first and second gen of anything and the first one is better in some way, MCB is interested.

Design a product that people like and then simplify manufacturing to take away the little things they bought your product because of. Perfect business plan. What could go wrong?

What is it about 'the good one' that we like so much.

3d print wipers is probably what you gotta do since they are bound to wear.
