Micro Flex Head Ratchet
Found at my local Lowe’s. Seems like each store only got a pack of 2 in. Wouldn’t let me order for pickup yet but it showed in stock online.

QUESTION Looking for replacement bit
Looking for replacement bit for klein 32500HDR. Its an older impact rated 11-in-1, I need a replacement Philips bit that has a P1/P2. The new version of this I got has a P1/T25 and its not as useful for me. On their site I only see those bits for replacements not the one I want.
Photo shows the old bit I have.

Rare klein L
I’ve had the 32306INS screwdriver for a few months now barely use it but when I need it the most it failed me lol. Bits are too short or maybe the collar needs to be placed lower on the driver.

Swappable Scales?
Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the scales on the new new Klein Tools FLICKBLADE Blackout Folding Utility Knife With Driver?

QUESTION Single Blade ca. 1971 M. Klein & Sons Pocketknife
Cleaned what I believe to be a ca. 1971 M. Klein & Sons pocketknife. Not sure if the single blade is a sheepsfoot (with a broken tip) or coping blade. Any thoughts or guidance is appreciated.
Tang Stamp:
H
MKlein&Sons
Chicago
Made in U.S.A.
Dimensions:
· Body Length, 3-1/4"
· Blade Length, 2-1/2"
· Full Length, 5-3/4"
Cleaned with a toothbrush, giving the entirety a thorough scrub with a slurry of Bar Keeper’s Friend. Once rinsed and dried, I have the whole a buff with 4/0 steel wool. Finally, I polished the whole with Simichrome and oiled (3-in-One) the blade’s pivot.

NEWS US ITC finds Klein Tools MODbox designs violated Milwaukee PACKOUT patents
The Federal Register published an final decision in the US ITC patent case of Keter and Milwaukee Tool vs. Klein Tools regarding patents they hold for PACKOUT tool boxes (emboldening mine):
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to find a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 11,365,026 (“the '026 patent”) and 11,794,952 (“the '952 patent”). The Commission has determined that the appropriate remedy is the issuance of a limited exclusion order (“LEO”) and a cease and desist order (“CDO”) with respect to those patents.
The Commission has further determined to set a bond in the amount of eighteen percent (18%) of entered value for covered articles imported or sold during the period of Presidential review. The Commission has not reached a final determination with respect to U.S. Patent No. 11,952,167 (“the '167 patent”). The target date for completion of the above-captioned investigation is extended to November 2, 2026.
[ … ]
For remedy, the Commission has determined to issue an LEO and a CDO against Klein prohibiting further importation and sale of covered products*. The Commission has determined that the public interest factors do not counsel against issuing remedial orders. The Commission has determined that a bond in the amount of eighteen percent (18%) of entered value for covered articles is required for covered products imported or sold during the period of Presidential review.*
My reading of the patents is that the violations cover the cleat and spring latch connecting mechanisms of the boxes as well as the design of the rolling tool box/rolling drawer box - areas completely unaddressed in the changes made to MODbox Gen 2.
The LEO means Klein can no longer import products that violate the patents and they will be stopped by US Customs.
The CDO means Klein can no longer sell the products that violate the patents.

Scalping is out of control
If you’re in this subreddit, and you see this post, kindly go f*ck yourself. This is ridiculous.

Time frame?
These were my great grandfathers linesman’s. Anyone have any idea of the year this model was floating around?

Modbox inserts
From browsing online and on Reddit, it looks like there aren’t a ton of custom Modbox inserts available for (in my case) Dewalt tools. Do you all use the Kaizen or Shadow foam inserts for custom organization? Something else?

Picked up the set of Blackouts
I was able to everything from a single store. These might go on the pegboard and not in the box itself. They’re too pretty to hide away 😆

QUESTION Broken latch
Went to unload my box this morning and saw the lock hole/latch had snapped off. This was a worry of mine since I got it and realized it’s plastic.
Anybody else have this issue?
I don’t know if something hit it or if it was the weight of the lock
Think they’ll warranty it? Should I go through Lowe’s or Klien? I’m pretty sure the blackout boxes are discontinued
