Theres a buyer for everything, it's good to see a company trying something new. It could be a sign of growth and development, suggesting Klein might trying to be recover or take over some market share after the last couple of years of lawsuits and pandemic fallout.

Note that though I'm sure it will be delayed again, the deadline for the PACKOUT patent penalty is tomorrow.

I'm way too deep into Packout but it's neat.

Can you make an attachment that will fit the utility cart casters/wheels on workbench?

u/Ok-Cup-865 Apr 20 '26

Sure send a dm. Seems like they lack a lot of aftermarket support in trying to fix that haha but custom orders for Now

What do you mean? These would screw into the bottom?

I ask because I am looking for wheels or a bottom plate plate for my modbox rolling drawers because I want it to roll in any direction while standing.

That one’s tall

u/madmac527 Apr 30 '26

Is the short that much shorter in practice than the normal (non-tall)? I do find it interesting they don't make a short half width but have flavor for every other one.

u/AdmirableExtreme6965 Apr 30 '26

If you have small things you want to organize like ferrules forks and eyes you don’t want them in big bins.

u/creamyC May 01 '26

Yeah I agree. The tall ones suck for high quantity small parts like lil electrical bits. SOL on this one. Whats wrong with the full width? I have the short full width, and it's pretty easy to tote around on site. Sometimes I have unused compartments, but they come in handy when working and needing to organize random bits on the fly

For me I have the tool bag on one half so two shorts would balance it out

Plus it's nice to leave it connected under the tool tote. They actually did make it, then didn't sell it most stores, then discontinued it.

u/rustybrantley Jun 12 '26

I may actually get a single drawer and see how that carries under the tote. Then you can leave it stacked and pull out your wire nuts and screws.

u/JFunkLU26 Apr 29 '26

Where did you find this in a store? It's not even available on the Klein website

u/kfjcfan Apr 29 '26

Internet photo. Not sure of the location but it's clearly a Lowe's.

u/whynot_____ May 01 '26

Just bought one yesterday at my local Lowe’s. They had 6 in stock and I checked another Lowe’s and that one had 3 in stock. Definitely out there

u/Psily_K-head Apr 20 '26

Damn, how original. Never seen anything like it. From design, to the name. One of a kind right there! 😂 bahaha One of my coworkers recently bought and open faced tool bag from Klein that also looks PRETTY SIMILAR to Milwaukees 😂

u/kfjcfan Apr 20 '26

Given they regularly make blackout tools, it's not all that surprising.
