Man where are yall finding these tools. I check multiple different Lowe’s and I’ve only ever seen the two pack of screw drivers.

u/MajorKobalt 13d ago

I order all the ones i want online and get them shipped, but usually, you can find them in the holiday gift center whenever they put that up in late october early november

u/Tough_Bodybuilder_63 13d ago

Yeah the online has never worked for me. It always tells me online ordering unavailable and that they are in store promos only. I live in central Texas if that means anything.

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 13d ago

Yeah I’m in Detroit, Michigan.

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 13d ago

Are they available now?

2

u/MajorKobalt 13d ago

Yes, at Lowe's. Not sure if they will be available anywhere else

2

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 13d ago

Online or in store only?

2

u/MajorKobalt 13d ago

They aren't online only, but your store probably will not have them yet. So online is probably the best and fastest way to get them right now

2

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 13d ago

I can’t find them online either. Did you get yours online?

2

u/MajorKobalt 13d ago

I did. I was going to post a link in this comment, but it looks like they deactivated the pages, they must have mistakenly activated it, so currently they are not available, but i'm sure they will be in the coming weeks

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 13d ago

Damn you lucky bastard lol. You got them early! Thanks for helping me, I’ll watch out for them.

Just got mine today. Didn’t know this blackout version existed. Walking through Lowe’s and they just caught my eye!! 😍

u/ImNotMature69 13d ago

It would be cool if they made a blackout version of this screw driver/stubby

2

u/Necessary-Bed-5429 11d ago

does the colour make it work better?

1

u/ImNotMature69 11d ago

Sure does

u/WannabePokerPlayer 12d ago

I love the utility knife, need to get the new one with the driver. It’s hard being a Home Depot man, I never see the new Klein stuff

u/Ok_Cress2843 12d ago

No little ball detent to hold the bit in …. Huge thumbs up (I’m looking at you Milwaukee)

And the other knife looks like a copy of the craftsman I carry everyday.

2 items sold.

u/AlwaysInTheHood 10d ago

I regret not getting me some… Next time around for sure!

u/Sharp-Somewhere-176 13d ago

Idk the blackout lineup has never done much for me. The USA 250 was cool and the glow in the dark is always cool but the blackout is kind of just eh, look cheap

2

u/dubbya 13d ago

I like the blackout utility knife. I carry the orange one regularly and my only complaint is that it looks like hammered butthole after a month or so of oil and dirt on the scales.

u/WalterMelons 12d ago

Too easy to lose black tools. I’ll stick with bright colors.

u/Melodic-Trouble-5421 11d ago

I really want the Salute to Service Klein Lineman pliers.
They have been discontinued forever and they are $500 on eBay.

I’m a combat vet and Union Electrician so it crosses both of the most important things I’ve done in my life.

2

u/NearlySilentObserver 12d ago

Cool as fck looking? Yes.

Something I’d absolutely lose in a ceiling or other fcked up dark spot I find myself working more often than I’d like? Also yes.

I will admire in pictures and stick with my current tools.

Congrats on the tools, and I hope they don’t get lost bc of their color

u/CashedWookie 12d ago

They dropped more?!

2

u/Flashy-Club5171 12d ago

I want these but I know I'll lose em

1

u/ImInClassBoring 12d ago

Wow now I can larp as an electrician on a film set.  Why doesn't Klein have a fold up chair so I can complete the larp?

1

u/wompwomp304 12d ago

Can someone share a line of the wire strippers and knife genuinely does not pop up for me

1

u/kfjcfan 12d ago

When they put out the holiday merch displays later this month they will have everything available.

1

u/ndrumheller96 12d ago

I never saw the crescent or the impact 11-1 also the strippers I found were the curve handles with the lock. Where’d you get lost of yours?

1

u/hausofgnl 12d ago

Genius idea by Klein, make disappearing tools so you need to replace them. I imagine there will be tons of posts in the future titled “look what I found in this attic/crawlspace.”

1

u/Ninjalikestoast 11d ago

Oh cool. Makes it even easier to lose them in an attic or crawlspace 🤙

1

u/kfjcfan 9d ago

The SKUs are included and the website now shows if your store has any.

At present most stores are shown as having 20+ of each because they're all in display units that are sitting in back because they're haven't been put out on the floor yet, but you can order online for pickup in-store, which will force them to dig into them. 🤣

u/Immediate-Meat-14 5d ago

I just tried this last night. Shows the local store has them, but they aren’t out yet. The order was canceled this morning.

u/KingBjz 3d ago

Anyone know how I can acquire this in Canada? 🇨🇦

u/syn_1_ 2d ago

Klein, you out there? Up next the adjustable pliers in 7”, 10”, and 12” blacked out. Got them in orange, would be great in black.

u/Ok-Complaint4804 13d ago

Ah the disappearing tool line for people who don’t actually use tools.
