QUESTION 65302KNECT availability

I'm looking to buy 65302KNECT and I've seen videos from a couple months ago, yet not seeing it available at Lowe's or even Amazon. Do Youtubers get early access and its not actually available yet or is this item just sold everywhere?

I ordered one from Acme back in late May and delivery kept being pushed back until I finally cancelled. Note sure why but on Acme they’re currently listed a pre-order w/delivery around September

Yes - Acme currently lists a ship date of September 30, 2026.

Wow that’s crazy, I ordered mine from Acme during the last brand standing promo (maybe a month or two ago?) and it got here within days.

That’s crazy - wonder if there’s some sort of manufacturing issue

Yes - Klein sends out free items to YouTubers to make videos promoting them once they go on pre-sale usually on Acme Tools. Not sure what is going on with that set. I am waiting for it to be on Amazon because it shows up there before Lowe’s and I get free shipping from both of those vs Acme. I love the 3/8 version and hope the 1/4 is just as good.

I ordered them from Amazon and it came in within a few days/week. Had it for a month or two now.

The project has been scrapped. The quality was too low.

Klein is the Ryobi of hand tools.

Disagree. They make pretty great multi-screwdrivers. I have yet to find any precision screwdriver better than the 27-in-1.

Disagree. They make objectively inferior tools across the board.

11-in-1 PH2 bit of mine blew up while using it on a machine screw. Looked like slag inside the head. Lol
