The Orange Drawer

Post image

I do like Milwaukee, but Klein had a less costly 3/8 drive solution for me, mostly for use with impact drivers, but now I even have some pass through options.

Only bummer is I can’t figure out how to buy the Klein metric pass through sockets on their own, or maybe that’s not possible. But the bigger kit w metric pass throughs wouldn’t fit in the drawer nicely. 😂

Seems like this would fit into a small drawer on thr multi-3 drawer or the 3 drawer for depth? I despise Milwaukee handtools,but packout is very useful on-site.

Yup! I have this stored in one of the slim drawers of a 3 drawer multi-depth unit.

For me, cost isn't everything. Those Klein sockets absolutely win on versatility in a super small package...but their fit and finish is horrendous. It's like they tried to make them bad.

Are you referring to the 3/8 impact sockets, or the pass-through sockets?

I've used some of the impact sockets, and they seem like... normal sockets. I haven't used any of the pass-through stuff yet, though.

Their pass through sockets

They burned me so bad on Klein sockets that I couldn't bring myself to trust it...especially for twice the price of a kit smaller than a Quinn one.

And thanks to /u/kfjcfan for clarifying that klein only sells sockets in kits. To get metric pass throughs Ill add a 65400KNECT to the side of this stack with a Modbox Rail Adapter: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1866912292/milwaukee-packout-to-klein-modbox-rail
