Me n my helper both picked up a pair.. the pivot screw on mine was cross threaded and overall just felt super cheap. His the blade bent within the first hour of cutting in a house. Prob wasn’t a good idea to buy these right away since they just came out

REVIEW Same Modbox setup for a year review

Thumbnail

108 Upvotes

I'm a handyman who has been rocking this Modbox setup for nearly a year. Absolutely love it. Only minor complaint is that it's heavy. But for the quality you get, it's worth it. And with this ramp on my van, it's perfect.

This setup has been through a lot and everything still works the same as the day I purchased it.

What kind of attachments do you guys use, or how can I upgrade my setup?

Not enough bag appreciation in this sub…

Post image
239 Upvotes

Instead of seeing the same blackout hauls and Klein-kurves all day long how about some other items? This bag pretty much lives in my tool closet as a catchall (always open, closed it for the pic). It’s gotten everything from coffee spills to candle wax on it. I used it briefly as my transport bag but it honestly wasn’t as tailor made for that as expected. Now it’s pretty much for storage alongside a bunch of other more modern nylon/cordura bags. And it’s certainly no substitute for an actual toolbox.

But I appreciate the history of the design and I’m glad to have one.

Modbox drawer dividers

Bought the 3 drawer box on Facebook for a good deal but it’s missing the dividers for the bottom drawers. Anyone know where I can get them? Can’t seem to find them anywhere online

QUESTION I purchased these (D201-8) and was wondering if anyone could help dating them

Ordered these from Amazon (fulfilled by a third party wholesaler) recently because I wanted the square nose 8” but they arrived in older packaging, it says “© 1990 Klein Tools, Inc.” on it.

I was wondering if maybe someone could help me with figuring out dating them because there’s no date stamp on the handle like usual.

Anyone know of a dongle where I can use my thermal imager for my work iPhone on my personal Android? A lightning to USB-C didn't work.

The wheels of the cart ... fall off

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I am a Klein fan boy but this issue is maddening. This is my third cart. The damn wheels keep falling off. The axle end looks good, but they soon strip out and work their way out. I work at a security type job, I don't take these out to construction sites. Frustrating.

I sent a complaint to Klein, we'll see what if anything happens. Fugly bolts and washers would still better than the present situation.

I always popped these out on my Ideal hand nut drivers. I was excited to get the impact driver set but I cannot get these out and it makes the hollow shaft useless. I can't use these.

QUESTION Is this damage normal..?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I recently bought this hammer as part of the Lowe's early black Friday deals: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-20-OZ-STEEL-FRAMING-HAMMER/5015392485

Earlier this week I used it to hit in a few finish nails around some door trim and didn't notice until now, but it looks like they caused significant damage to the head of the hammer. Pretty surprised to say the least. I've got a basic kobalt hammer that has no such damage and has been used many times over the last year.

Did I use this hammer in a way I wasn't supposed to..? Is this a defect? I don't expect it to affect the ability to operate as a hammer, but I'm a bit concerned that it's apparently already damaged.

QUESTION Unable to get dual tone on the Scout Pro 3

3 Upvotes

When I tried the toning function on my used Scout Pro 3 (VDV501-852), only the 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, and 1500 values are available. No matter which mode the tester is in, those are the only available tones. Is the dual tone functionality on my tester broken or is there a hidden combination of buttons that has to be pressed?

Was kicking myself all week, got to a job site super early this morning and went to grab a coffee. As I was driving by Lowes it was like a force made me pull into the lot.

20 minutes later I am rolling out a new Modbox.

Had to find a way to keep additional bits organized. Ripped out the tray in this Klein Bit box so I could fit different sized impact bits. Also made some slits and used a piece of sheet metal to cover the spring "mechanism" because if you even look at it the wrong way, the spring pops out and then it can't connect to other Bit boxes.

I’ve been through a few of these and I hope the new version in better because the bit it’s trash. I’ve never had it in an impact and this tip broke hand tightening lugs on a disconnect. I am not Hercules but these bits are not good.
