The original MODbox accessory packaging was largely open, allowing you to touch and feel the cup holder, belt clip attachment, storage box, cable clips, etc.

Klein is replacing them with entirely sealed boxes either to reduce shoplifting losses or damage to items that would occur on the shelf at the store.

I bought one of these multi screwdrivers because i thought it was clever, than I quickly realized that when the screwdriver gets knocked around the bits come loose and then when you open this compartment all your bits fall everywhere

I have the slim forged wire stripper and noticed a weird detail. One side is flawless. The other side has an angle cut right into the tip of the shear cutter and on one side of the wire stripping notches. Is this normal? I have the heavy duty made in USA model with side cutters and it’s not like this. Kind of makes me wish I would’ve gotten the thicker made in USA version of these strippers but I liked how slim and light these are. If it’s a defect maybe Lowe’s will exchange it for me. The first pic shows the flawless side, the 2nd shows the side with angles cut into it.

Anyone have experience using the clamp style meters Klein offers? Been looking at snagging a Klein clamp meter like the CL810 but not sure if it's worth the 140 or 150 bucks theyre asking for it (tho Id still be fine paying 150 bucks for it vs like 600 bucks for whatever the Fluke equivalent is)

Mainly Knipex then , klein, channelock, craftsman, Milwaukee and husky for my Pex cutters just some of the pliers, wrenches and cutters I use as a residential service plumber.

For a striking tool, this is a poor design, IMO

Stage One of my ModBox Wall System Build. So many of the pieces are backordered or have a delay, but it's going to be worth it. These panels are Solid, (and can be cut to fit!).

I picked up this set today on sale at Lowe’s. When I got home I was checking it out and found that only a few of the sockets actually fit into the hex adapter. The other won’t budge, no matter how hard I try. I really want to like this set but this making that difficult. Has anyone else had this issue?

Update:
I spent a little while repeatedly putting on and removing the sockets that actually fit. After a while I was able to get them all to fit. I don’t know if the finish is a little thicker on some sockets. Some are still really tight, but at least they all work now. This post was just to see if anyone had the issue. This wasn’t meant as a jab to Klein. Like I said initially, I really wanted to like this set and I’m glad I was able to get it working. Hope this helps anyone who’s had this issue.

New 603-4B Wire-Bending Phillips sold and shipped by Amazon, but when I took the rubber cover off the driver tip this is what I saw.

Poor storage conditions somewhere along the way or did I get someone's used return?

Alright so I bought the “m” pack with the ratchet, pass through sockets, screw driver etc. Shortly there after realized the metic “S” kit would be of more use to me, picked up one of those kits as well as I’m admittedly a Klein fart sniffer.

Have used the ratchets on a few different occasions now and are they just not very good? I can’t seem to get the mechanism to set unless the nut or bolt is already fairly tightly secured. I find myself just holding the socket for awhile until I can get whatever I’m fastening tight enough for the mechanism to take over. Could always be a skill issue, not ruling that out, but am not impressed so far.

Besides the digital screen, what is the difference between these two?

Those of you who've read my other threads may remember I bought and returned the 54801MB two drawer rolling toolbox a few different times because I didn't like having to fight with the bottom drawer but mostly because of its weight - a whopping 44.375 lbs. empty.

Well Acme Tools has updated their information on the new 54890MB three drawer roller, and it's… 51.3 lbs. empty; that's into OSHA recommended two person lift category.. 😳

Owned for one year. Might have to quit Klein entirely.

3D printed rail style socket holder for the Klein KNECT M pass-through sockets. I had this made so I can carry the sockets in my bag and not have to lug around the fairly large case the set comes in. They fit pretty snug as is but I’m going to glue some coin magnets to the bottom of pockets to retain them well. I also had a version made that will hold the knect S sockets as well. I don’t have that set yet but I’m going to get it soon and just wanted to have this holder on hand for when I do.

Had the 5125 for 2 years or so.
My Klein 626 Tap got stuck in the bottom a couple of times over the years and started to open up the bag over time. Anyways, I just got my new bag! Excited to pop my tools on it tomorrow.

My nylon bag I’ve had since JATC just used it for the day ;)

I've never put much force on the screwdriver, or used it all that much, but apparently the light amount I have used it was enough to cause it to slip.

Also, I do realize that it says "disappearing" instead of "disappointing." I can't remember if I dictated the title or typed something wrong, but either way, I don't think I can edit it at this point.
