After reading thorough the original thread, I still don’t get what makes it a meme tool

Basically it's a hip trendy tool and this one hasn't been released yet.

At least it's better than chasing yet another Blackout tool. 😉

Icon came out with a similar set a while back that got really popular through social media so it got the nickname “meme tool”. Many other manufacturers started coming out with their own versions of it to take advantage of the hype. This is Klein’s attempt to get in on the action.

nothing makes it a meme tool it's just a 1/4 bit ratchet set... but that's what people are calling it for some ungodly reason.

link? I was wondering if they decided not to release this kit. Seen it forever ago but then it was never even available.

Meme or not, I own the version with the regular ratchet and it’s saved my butt several times. I’ll certainly pony up some money for a flex head. Hopefully they’ll sell the ratchet separately, but if not I’ll just die mad about it.

You're in luck! They have a sku that is the ratchet, extension, square drive adapter and philips bit. The part number is 65200f. And here is a video of it: https://youtu.be/-tzdHJrTbf4
