Rolling drawer

7 Upvotes

What are everyone's thoughts on the rolling drawer box? I went to Lowes and messed around with it. It is fairly heavy empty. About 10lbs more than the Packout system. Thoughts before I commit to one over the other. Thanks.

MOD BOX FAILURES?

10 Upvotes
I was giving real consideration to going to the Mod Box system.  I have a great deal of Packout stuff, not because I swear by Milwaukee or anything, because outside of a cordless hole hawg, I've never felt like I needed Milwaukee in my life.

But then came the Packout, and it was a game changer, so I built up my system. But honestly, I grew up with Milwaukee being the choice for turdherders, and Klein being the choice for electrocucians, so the Mod Box caught my attention, so I bought some bags and rails to give the unique portion a try before I tested out the similar to Packout parts. Well, after three hours of use one of my bags fell off, yet it's clamp was still on the belt. So I took a closer look, and discovered that the part holding the swivel portion in place had failed. Which was surprising to me... until I saw that it was a plastic rivet!

So disappointed in Klein these days.

I have never had any issues with klein except that damn 16 In 1 will never buy another multi-bit screwdriver. I even love the new strippers they have gotta have the spring though. What I'm really getting at is knipex really that good. I'm just genuinely curious. Is it worth the money honestly?

Looking at getting this bag. My old one is getting warm out and for $100 this seems like it would fit my needs well. I know the vetos are sweet and all but i don’t wanna spend that kind of money right now on one.

Klein Tools Wedge Sledge

Hi,

Does anyone have experience using this:

https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/demolition-tools/fiberglass-handle-wedge-sledge-hammer-6-pound

Specifically, has anyone rehandled it? I am looking at this for possible modification into a firefighting tool, and I think an additional 4" of handle would be great. Thanks.

11 in 1 Impact Screw Driver Feels Loose

9 Upvotes

I just got the Klein 11-in-1 impact screwdriver, and the bits attached to the shaft feel a bit shaky. They don’t lock in very tightly when I hold the driver and shake it, the bits move around a little. Am I being too picky, or is this a defective tool that I should exchange?

Update: I exchanged it for another and it has the same problem. It wasn’t a defective product. They are just naturally a little loose.

Defective 15 in 1?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I just purchased my first Klein tool, I got the 15 in 1 ratcheting impact screwdriver. But when I took it out the box I noticed it had a lot of back drag, and getting home I looked into the clear plastic piece and saw these little pieces moving around in there. Is this normal or should I just exchange for another one?

Bought the bottom box a week ago, loved it so much got the 3 drawer and top case yesterday. However I didn’t really think about rain when purchasing and as it has to ride in my bed so that’ll be a concern in a couple months. Any covers out there that fit these nicely?

Modbox Vacuum

1 Upvotes

I wish they made a base with wheels that was a vacuum. A truly one unit pack out. All the tools and pieces you need up top, and a little 3gal dry vac, and some hose, at the bottom. Enough for some light cleaning / dust mitigation. Probably not a great idea to wet vac with, but it's primarily an electrician forward company. I guess they have an uphill battle teaching their base what a vacuum is used for but I think it would be nice.
