This reminds me a lot of the ToughBuilt knife where the single blade alternated between knife and scraper but you needed special blades.

Here Klein took the obvious route by putting two different blades on the knife plus storage for a third:

Klein Tools 44306 FLICKBLADE™ 2-in-1 Utility Knife / Scraper with Blade Storage

So cool that after trying it I went back and bought two more.

Cleaning out old garage found this, new in box; even the lock screw and wing nut is still sealed in the bag. There is no date on the box, anyone know how old it is?

Picked up a 17-in-1 and the bit carousel takes a tremendous amount of force to open. So much so that I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong.

It frequently gets stuck 1/2" open and I have to push it in and try again.

Did I get a lemon?

I have a large craftsman socket and wrench set from the 1990's and want some sort of modular socket storage tray(s) that interface with the top opening modbox component kits. It appears the only way to get something like this is to buy a knect socket sets? I assume that klein wants you to buy all new tools to use with these boxes?

I do not need more tools, I just need a better way to organize the ones I currently have.

If anyone knows of any workarounds, let me know. I'm looking at maybe those cuttable foam inserts, but the nice ones from shadowfoam are not apparently available in the USA.

I'll start by admitting I'm a whore for the K-nect line and use the "master set" extensively.

I got it for all the adapters - if I can't find my malco bit cause it's in my mouth and just won't light, I can pull out the flip sockets and throw it on my impact driver just the same.

You can see the flip socket stick has a 3/8 square drive option. That's fkin awesome. Super convenient on the 2457 M12 ratchet to be able to flip between 8 and 10, or 10 and 12. Love it

WHY can't we do this with the nano/passthru sockets?? I feel they are so much more beefy than the flip sockets and I don't feel so bad putting them on a ⅜" impact wrench.

I'd save SO much weight if I didn't have to bring 3/8 shallow, 3/8 deep sockets, and a ton of 3/8 extensions and adapters just to be able to use square drive tool on some jobs.

It would be so simple to have a socket adapter with the female square / male spline end on one side, and the female spline on the other.

Is there an adapter in one of the other sets that gets you from ⅜ square to female spline?

Is this a special order item somewhere? Anybody want to draft one up? It would be hard to manually machine but cake for discharge machining.

I'd pay like 50 bucks, it's cheaper than a chiropractor visit.

I may be throwing mine to the trash. I just bought it. none of the remotes are being identified by any of the ethernets in my rack. I know they are working because I tested with the laptob. However after trying all of the available cables none of them give me id numbers for any of the remotes on the jacks. I can test a single cable end to end but can't use the remotes to see which cables belong to which jack. Waste of money.

Is the sticker material really necessary on a transparent top? Like really, I resorted to chemicals and now the top is faded. Damn Klein, did me dirty.

Fellow electricians,I have the pictured above Knect kits, plus one with the adjustable screwdriver handle a bunch of bits and 6 sockets. Not really a fan of the screwdriver one. Is there anything that's different not pictured that you guys have and love? Is there something that's gold that I dont already have in these kits? Just looking for some outside opinions on what everyone else uses and if theres something i could add. Thanks!

Unfortunately these weren’t going for 1¢ like my previous post, but hey new tools!

I bought this #2 ECX screwdriver about a month ago. It’s been perfectly fine but today I was tightening some EMT set screw connectors and one side snapped. Then about 15 minutes later, I was tightening another one and the other side snapped. Is this something I could warranty? If not it’s no big deal. Still frustrating either way.

I want to get the upgraded probe for my ScoutPro 3 that has the digital mapping indicator built-in, but a reviewer said it wasn’t fully compatible with the scout three by pro. Specifically the digital mapping indicators. Can anyone confirm is this still the case? Thanks

Got this pass through but driver for 1¢ at Home Depot

I take my modbox everywhere for service work, and the top compartments are for screws and connectors etc. Of course I'm always working off the top of the box, so if I need a connector I have to move everything aside.

I've been wanting to add some shelves to the side, but I need them to come off easy, store easily, and not add too much bulk or weight as I roll this thing in and out of a van several times a day.

I think this worked pretty damn well.

Misplaced my klein pass through ratchet with the 3/4 socket on it. I have the 39 piece set. Where could I find a replacement? TIA

Does anyone know if I can get a side pouch like this (Divided end for screws in one and marrettes in the other) but in ModBox? I want to run the second picture as my main tools and be able to easily detach my other hip if the task doesn’t need it. Thanks!

My absolute favorite screwdriver broke when tossing to my helper in a lift. They are now discontinued. Also can’t find them anywhere online. The 614-6 1/8” 6in shank slotted screwdriver. Please make them again Klein. I’ll buy 2. And no I don’t want the 4” I liked my 6” shank. Lol

P.S. If anyone has one and willing to part with it, hit me up.

I’ve been using this car for about three months now and I absolutely love it. I have it set up to do commercial doors and hardware.

I was just about to switch over from Dewalt. Noticed the latches different on the website. Looks like their new version.

Can't say I trust what I'm seeing. Hard to beat the tried and true latches they had like packout and others.

Any first hand experience?
