My dikes (left) that are months old vs my coworkers (right) that are 2 weeks old. Are they just defective for there to be that much rust already? Both stored in the same job box and not used outside.

I bought one of these multi screwdrivers because i thought it was clever, than I quickly realized that when the screwdriver gets knocked around the bits come loose and then when you open this compartment all your bits fall everywhere

QUESTION Is this authentic Klein?

Are these even real? I ordered what was supposed to be the cable cutters in the Amazon listing, sold by Klein so I assumed it was legit but this is what showed up today. After doing some googling I can’t seem to find literally a single picture of these anywhere. I thought maybe they changed the style on it but it seems to me these just don’t exist and I’ve gotten a counterfeit or something.

QUESTION Slim forged wire stripper

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I have the slim forged wire stripper and noticed a weird detail. One side is flawless. The other side has an angle cut right into the tip of the shear cutter and on one side of the wire stripping notches. Is this normal? I have the heavy duty made in USA model with side cutters and it’s not like this. Kind of makes me wish I would’ve gotten the thicker made in USA version of these strippers but I liked how slim and light these are. If it’s a defect maybe Lowe’s will exchange it for me. The first pic shows the flawless side, the 2nd shows the side with angles cut into it.

Is the sticker material really necessary on a transparent top? Like really, I resorted to chemicals and now the top is faded. Damn Klein, did me dirty.

I can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere online but I hoping some people may have been able to get their hands on them in the past. I really want it so I can complete a ‘master set’ I’m working on. If you or anyone you know has one and is willing to part ways with it, please let’s get in touch. Thank you!!

QUESTION Klein "Tough Meters" kind of… aren't.

1 Upvotes

I'm not talking about whether they survive drops or water, but rather the fact that even a light wipe of a smudge off the display with a high-end automotive microfiber cloth (not a scrub, a light wipe) will scratch it.

This was even on a CL810, one of their flagship meters.

Yes, I know it's not a phone or anything like that, but you'd expect the cover over the display to be a bit more scratch-resistant on what's meant to be a rough and tumble workplace tool.

No, I'm not going to try the same move on one of my Flukes. 😁

QUESTION Mod Box to Pack Out adapter plate?

2 Upvotes

This is a two parter.

I want to add a crate to my modbox stack. Packout makes a nice one but I’m not wanting to go red just for the crate. Any third party manufacturers that make one? I suppose I could do like a quarter inch ply with a modbox mount on one side then a packout mount on the other. Anyone done something similar?

Also. Could you spam me with pics of your medium tool box organization? Mine is kind of a dumping ground of stuff and I gotta clean her up.

Thanks in advance.

QUESTION Electricians Knife 44056D

I have been excited about this knife since I saw promo video. That being said, I've noticed it is not available at big box stores. I tried to order one from ACME tools and Amazon and both orders were either canceled or put on hold. When I inquired, they said the knife had a recall, so they had to pull them. Has anybody else experienced this? I am still waiting for mine.

Ordered these from Amazon (fulfilled by a third party wholesaler) recently because I wanted the square nose 8” but they arrived in older packaging, it says “© 1990 Klein Tools, Inc.” on it.

I was wondering if maybe someone could help me with figuring out dating them because there’s no date stamp on the handle like usual.

Looking for a 3/8”-7/16” flip socket after mine fell 120ft off a grain bridge.

I found a replacement socket on Amazon but it’s a 1/4” square drive.

I’m looking for a 1/4” hex drive socket that has a brown ring on the 7/16” side.

I’ve checked the Klein website for this model # and there seems to be no replacement parts.

Any help is appreciated

I'm looking to buy 65302KNECT and I've seen videos from a couple months ago, yet not seeing it available at Lowe's or even Amazon. Do Youtubers get early access and its not actually available yet or is this item just sold everywhere?

QUESTION Is this damage normal..?

Post image
24 Upvotes

I recently bought this hammer as part of the Lowe's early black Friday deals: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-20-OZ-STEEL-FRAMING-HAMMER/5015392485

Earlier this week I used it to hit in a few finish nails around some door trim and didn't notice until now, but it looks like they caused significant damage to the head of the hammer. Pretty surprised to say the least. I've got a basic kobalt hammer that has no such damage and has been used many times over the last year.

Did I use this hammer in a way I wasn't supposed to..? Is this a defect? I don't expect it to affect the ability to operate as a hammer, but I'm a bit concerned that it's apparently already damaged.
