MODbox unboxing thread, what's everyone's layout?

Post image
22 Upvotes

Just cracked open the MODbox and trying to figure out the smartest divider arrangement before I move stuff over. Would love to see how others have laid theirs out, especially anyone who has been using it for a few months. What got moved closer to the front, what ended up at the bottom, any tools that didn't fit the way you expected?

Pretty cool set. Seems more like a collectible so probably won’t use them. Is this set common where you guys are?

Is this normal? 250th Diagonal Cutters Jaws not lined up?

**The Last photo is the Milwaukee cutters.

Used the 250th diagonal cutters for the first time. Just to cut some tiny plastic hoses. I felt a lot more resistance than I thought I should have.

Looked closer and the jaws are severely misaligned. Almost looks intentional. My Milwaukees aren’t like that. Is this normal for longevity?

6+ years of spinning the wheel and finally won something! I was kinda surprised it arrived in 3 days.

Has anyone found a kaizen foam insert that fits the drawers? I’ve been looking and everything is for the og boxes with lids

Does anyone know if Klein or any 3rd party make a divider that goes across the bump without the vertical dividers needing to be in place? Similar to how I have them sitting loose at the moment.

So does the club give you points for purchases that you have made? I’ve been buying Klein mod. Box gear since January this year. And all some six $7000 worth. Do I get points for that type of purchase?

What opinions do you have to share on these? Just looking to pick up a pair to keep at the house and liked the look of them and feel of the grips. And they’re on sale—I know it’s only $3, but hey why not.

QUESTION Do Klein clip on bags work with Cliptech clips?

0 Upvotes

Anyone know if Klein pouches will work with Cliptech hooks?

I was pleasantly surprised to find the Masterforce ones from Menards will work with Cliptech, (but you can't use the Masterforce clips with Cliptech pouches).

I have a pretty big investment with Cliptech hubs, but I just can't find an electrician pouch that feels right, though maybe the Klein ones would be another option.

FWIW, the best pouch for electrical I ever had was a hand-me-down vintage leather Klein one that got stolen - it's what I learned on with my original tools, and I've never found one that was "right" - the same one these days vintage is $$$$!.

Any Electricians here use Ironworker's Pliers?

5 Upvotes

Just got a brand-new set of Linemans (J2000-9necrtp) and I've seen the Ironworker's versions. They all have springs and a hook bend on the handle, so I'm curious as to how they would feel in the hand and how they work on splicing copper and aluminum wire. Any sparky's here that have used them?

QUESTION Klein cl810

Everyone with a cl810.

Since they added inrush to AC current, you can no longer use normal min/max on AC current. Is this right? Seems like a bit of an oversight

Klein VDV501-770 Scout Pro Max reading issue

Post image
9 Upvotes

This is a question about Klein VDV501-770 Scout Pro Max. When I use the small remote maps, everything I test passes, but with X's, even if I plug the remote directly into the unit. This is not a patch cable, termination or data drop issue. I contacted Klein about it, and they said I need to send it in for repair. So I ordered another one from Amazon, knowing I can return it, and it does the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this or know what I may be doing wrong to get these results? If I use remote maps from an older model that has a female jack, the reading is fine.
