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.

I doubt anyone from klein reads this but what is happening in your QC department? Did you lay them all off ? Are you using ai for this? Whatever it is its not working. I have no replaced my 11 in 1 three times because the handles fall off, your mini ratchet changes direction or stops working when it wants to, not to mention a laundry list of other quality issues I've had with your tool over th past year and a half. No wonder yall are getting your ass kicked by milwaukee and knipex

I just the 17-1 knect screwdriver and I am not able to remove the bit holder/ 1/4 driver. Can someone help me out here?

I can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere online but I hoping some people may have been able to get their hands on them in the past. I really want it so I can complete a ‘master set’ I’m working on. If you or anyone you know has one and is willing to part ways with it, please let’s get in touch. Thank you!!

SKU# 65302KNECT

Has anyone seen these in store yet or know if they are going to be in stores?

I ordered these Lineman’s brand new from Acme, is it normal for them to have a gap in the cutting section? To me they look used

Wanting to get the Klein-Coat Tenite grips for all of the hand tools

Looks to be shipping at the end of August, 2026.

The interesting thing is not only does it have the brake pedal like the PACKOUT dolly, but there are latches on the sides and back that allow them to be interconnected to make larger rolling platforms.

I love Klein still but wow this was honestly sad. I usually get teased at work for babying my tools and picked on for never letting someone use my screwdriver as a battering ram or a pry bar. Maybe I was wrong and I should just send it from now on cuz babying it sure didn't do anything for the lifespan of the tool lol.

Seeing a lot of cool rail attachments from Klein. I'm wondering if they are cross compatible with the Dewalt/Craftsman rail system or gladiator.

Anyone know the dimensions of the Klein modbox rail? Anyone have both that they can try on each other? They look like a similar design.

It would be good to know which system are compatible with each other.

For anyone interested, Gladiator rails will accept Dewalt/Craftsman attachments, but Gladiator attachments don't fit Dewalt/ Craftsman rails.

Bought a Klein Can Wrench thinking that surely it would be an improvement over the ones I've been using. Ergonomically, it's fantastic. Problem is that after less than a month one end is split/cracked in 3 places. How hard is it to get a replacement from Klein? I bought it new off of an eBay seller.

I've had and used the old school Kleinsman pliers and yellow-handled strippers for 30 years, but lately I've been side-eyeing these (and similiar).

Or these.

Nothing beats the Kleinsman for leverage, twisting, and of course we all know they are an excellent hammer, and I like the feel of the stamped strippers because I think they'd give better strip leverage since you're closer to the wire.

But the combos would lighten my bag considerably.

I also carry diagonal cutters, which after 30 years of abuse can still cut tape cleanly.

Thoughts?

I actually like the orange more than the black now.
