Thank you for this video! This is the single best Klein video helping me to make a decision on what I should get, I was a little overwhelmed into which ratcheting set up I wanted to get. I have a lot of regular screwdrivers and this whole pack out ratcheting set up is EXACTLY what I want especially when I have to entirely dismantle pieces for recycling or repurposing parts.

We need just one innovation from Klein. Klein, please invent metric bits and sockets!

The boxes remind me of Systainers. Having the ability to access the box in the middle of a stack is so useful.

More proof Snap-on does not walk on water...

Very impressed by Klein with these ModBoxes, I already have a bunch of tools but I’m jonesing to get my hands on this…

Klein may be going to a proprietary setup, but their modbox and inter-kit compatibility may drive me that direction for future drivers. They already have most of my electrical tool real estate in my toolbox, but besides that I only have 2 screwdrivers and a few utility knives.

Really cool backdrage setup up you created. May not be the super scientific way of doing it But genius it still shows levels of bsck drag . As always Doc great video.

I just left Lowes and Home Depot and I bought my $21.00 11&1 Klein Screw driver and I'm happy. I love the Klein mod boxes, I also looked @The Rigid tool box system and the Klein tool box systems. Klein has really did it. A great video brother.

Doc, I'm just blown away with all the tools you have! You've got to show us your tool storage areas!😊

That is a great system Doc looking forward to seeing all of those sets

Doc, your tool review/discussions are top notch!!

That's a cool ratchet driver, I wasn't too crazy about some of their earlier ones, same thing--just kind of big and clunky--but this one looks different. Thanks for showing it to us Doc!

I've been using that 1/4 inch passthrough set for a while now. I reach for it all the time.

Great video! Thank you for the reviews!

I decided to go Toughbilt for my stacking toolboxes but I also have a lot of Klein tools. I love these boxes for keeping my tools organized.

After i lubed mine and worn it in a bit, the back drag was lowered by about half to my untrained hand. Similar to my LTT screwdriver.

I love these mini sets. I just wish Klein would move into the metric space. I understand why they don't, but it would be more helpful for me in the stuff I work on around the house and shed if these small socket kits were metric. I've been wanting a ratcheting screwdriver, and this new 11-in-1 has been at the top of my list. I'll probably still go with them, but it would be nice if there was a small metric socket kit for a be-all, end-all. I'm waiting to see what the new Icon mini kit looks like. I'll likely go with that unless it's more than a Wera Tool Check Plus.

Picked up that pass thru socket set on sale a few months ago, big fan. I’ve got it stored in my truck EDC for now until I find a better use for it

"Intense" compatibility? Here's an example for you. I strongly support metricfication. I chose metric fasteners as often as I can. But don't change my 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", etc. square drive socket wrenches. Likewise, 4mm is the standard precision bit size. There is no excuse for Klein to make 3.5mm bits other than to screw up the market. Just say know.

I’ve started building up a whole Klein tool collection not just because the tools are great but the mod box design is excellent.

I'm pretty excited for that passthrough socket set. I've always thought they were interesting, but this is the first one I've seen that doesn't look incredibly bulky

I was told from my electrical supply house (local) that all Klein tools are and will be made in the USA (besides all of the already made tools in the USA) told by Klein to my local electrical supply house and passed on to me so I will share to all concerned (that is every single tool) for your information. Hopes this helps.

Been really interested in all of these MOD Box sets KT is coming out with. The boxes themselves look interesting and I get your point about the tools pulling you into the packaging system. But for those who are into other "packout" systems, I'm wondering if the Etsy community will be able to 3D print adapters to attach these to other systems? Is it even feasible or too dissimilar?

Its a tool Erector set! Remember those!

Been a mechanic for 45 years and have never been a fan of Snap-On products. Just recently bought a few new Klein tools and like them.

Doc any chance you can put the links to all of the stuff you show in the description? I use your channel to find all of my shopping needs haha

Pass thru is funny. Works in few occasions. Get them nuts there by hand then wrench finishes it up.

How hard is it to coax the inside trays out of those boxes? I could see cutting/printing custom liners for application-specific kits. You kind of stumbled into demonstrating the problem with such a modular system: it's easy to misplace the part you're after. A kit with a bright open space for each item makes it harder to just leave one in the dirt or the engine bay.

Snap on is definitely going to knock off this entire setup! KLEIN KNOCKED IT OUT THE PARK WITH THESE SETS!

Where did you buy these? I am having trouble finding the ratchet wrench sets, also did the Klein 32500HDRT come in a mod box? I found the driver but doesn’t come in any type of case.

Klein makes some nice screwdrivers and I have many. I just picked up the new 11-piece screwdriver (32500-HDRT) and 1/4" socket set (65300) for a general everyday use set. I'm passing on the 3/8" socket set because... I think they really missed the mark and opportunity to make the 1/4" and 3/8" sets compatible with other manufacture's pass thru sets (GearWrench, Crescent, etc.). It would have been great that they could accept those others to expand use and ability to add metric sizes. They are very similar but are sized slightly different. Klein needs to make a holders for the MODBox that permits you to snap on and carry the 11-piece screwdriver, so the set stays together. Many people, myself included, buy them to use together.

I love these through hole sockets but I've found that they're a lot easier to break than regular square drive sockets. I've broken a few of them on things I was surprised by

Do you know if is coming out with a complete metric socket set ?

Very cool system. The sockets might be due to chrome coating but I am not totally sure.

I checked Home Depot and Lowe's, neither have these sets listed. Amazon only has one type. Links?

Can you post links as to where to get these mini modbox kits?

sold me. ordered the screwdriver and the ratchet set is in cart. lol.

Interesting system. Besides pass through is there any other advantage over going with the Klein 7 in 1 impact flip bits instead? Can also be driven multiple ways and hex isn’t proprietary. Only disadvantage I’m seeing so far is that you loose pass through.

Am I missing it? I can’t find that bigger ratchet set anywhere online.

So innovative & the price is right !

The Phillips #2 broke on my 3200hd 11-in- 1 after only 2 months. I couldn't find the exact replacement on their website. They only had the non impact rated 11-in-1 bits which have different bits types paired together. Any advice on where to find them?

Umm… what’s the part number for that compatible ratchet set. I can’t find it.

I'll throw those in my pack out thank you very much.

Now I need Klein to make a bacho like crescent wrench(with pipe wrench teeth on the other side with the klein proprietary pass- thru socket on the other end. Crescent has something similar and with a 1/2, 3/8 adapter it has been a game changer for me as a backup ratchet when I am at work.

Where did you get the Klein pass through ratchet kit?! I can't find it anywhere!

What set(s) are at 4:18? Looks like a 32934 and ?

Typing this on a Saturday, I'm glad I have time to re-visit their 11-in-1 (32500 HD non-ratchet version) bought 4 months ago and tossed into the drawer after one use. Perhaps I did not spend enough time as a child with my Lego set, but there's a learning curve. I did not appreciate the factory grease (without it, will this thing corrode?? ) and how long it took to assemble whatever bit I was trying to assemble at the time. I clicked on this older video because of a recent MODBox video. I'm interested in the kits and desperately need to get away from large toolboxes filled with sockets and wrenches I can never locate no matter what divider system I buy into. This system might be my ticket off the merry-go-round, but I'm not thrilled with the prospect having everything together but taking a long time to put together.

>that ratcheting screwdriver handle *neuron activation meme* Is this what its like to be stuck in the snapon truck...

Snap on sockets are regular flank drive and flank drive plus.

In Canada Home Depot is only offering an old selection of klein tools no mod box stuff no new tool offerings. We used to have lowes in Canada but all the stores turned into Rona+ and have only old lowes tool offerings so they new got any klein tools only ideal tools. Unfortunately the only way to get the good klein stuff in Canada is to drive to the states and go to Lowes or to order from electrical suppliers or online tool suppliers. I really would like to see klein have great offerings at stores in Canada that you can go see all the tools

The only problem I have is that all these tools seem to be too heavy for what they are. I understand the impact aspect, but weight is important to me

Love it. 👍👍

I feel like Klein is always a step behind as far as quality,

I was an electrician for over 40 years. Klein Tools were the go-to tools for us electricians. I'm retired now, but I wish I had these Klein Tools when I was still working!! They are fantastic!!

Doc I think it's fair to say that the klein adapter male-to-female you're referencing here is comparable enough to some bicycle cranks to call it a spline drive. It may be proprietary but it should NOT be patentable in my opinion.

🙏❤️ Love from Scotland ❤️🙏

I don’t see these boxes for sale anywhere?

But do they make mini mod boxes that are empty for storage?

Are these passthrough sockets compatible with the gear wrench/crescent ones? No reason this couldn’t be a standard like square drive. I have soooo many since they are only sold in a complete set. Hopefully Klein will sell single sockets as the whole plan goes to shit if you lose one & have everything except what you actually need.

Forgive my ignorance, my question is about that KT-P2 bit from that original modbox. That bit being tapered, couldn't one simply grind the tip down until you hit the proper size? I only ask because it seems a simple solution, although i do understand that wasn't the purpose of this video.

If you drill a 1/2 hole in the bottom, you make a pass thru nut driver!

Can you provide a retail link and Klein part numbers please?

So I watched this video having recently purchased the pass through ratchet set and thought the 11 in 1 impact matched drive would be a great addition. Followed the link from the video and ordered one off Amazon. Just received it and they are not compatible? The extension shaft is too big to fit into the driver handle. What am I missing?

Crescents been making pass through sockets like this for about 10 yrs.

I have that screwdriver, by far the best one I've ever owned.

If only you can find these. Having a hard time finding them at lowe s or any other place

I’m positive my beloved snap on 1/4” soft grip ratchet can walk on water. I know because the salesman told me so😉

I would like to see a drop test on these plastic ModBoxes.............

Where are they made? Taiwan?

Why all the small sets of sockets? Why not just full sets ?

That looks very interesting, but I have a lot of Wiha 4mm bits. That 3.5mm decision by Klein is giving me huge negative stimulus. So not interested in another bit standard 0.5mm off what I already have.

The ratchet for the passthrough is trash after a month. Keeps locking up and have to bang it on something to free it up. Wish I could use it more because It works great in panels.

Klein must be forever missing them pesky 10mm sockets

Klien needs to make metric 😭

Funny thing, no homeowner will ever need a pass thru driver. I’ve worked on cars, houses and forklifts. I’ve only ever come across a need for a pass thru drive twice in 40 years.

Klein just needs to make a square handle so it does not roll away, off your bench or whatever. However, I love their quality.

I like it 😀

A solution without a problem.

on the snap-on SDDD101. instead of the torx bits use 4 different straight screwdriver bits and 4 different phillips bits. 8 screwdrivers in 1. out it in your back pocket have a good day

Appears like you will spend more time rummaging through the plethora of boxes just to find the "right" combination NTY I don't have that much time to waste!!!

the design is brilliant but i hate fumbling around with so many different parts to get going

Wonder stuff

Why do they have to be made over seas though

Need to use iso stamped tools, think only wiha is

I can't believe you're just getting that replacement from klein. I feel like you first mentioned that like 18 months ago.

that bolt is not a 14mm, its a grade 8 bolt, and you can tell by the hashes on the top. Metric fasteners are not graded with that type of identification. that is probably a 9/16 bolt. Otherwise great video!

👍

Crescent tools did it 8yrs ago

Why is this system any different than a bit holding screwdriver and 1/4" dr. to 1/4" hex drive adapter? Pick any bit you like, slap it in the adapter.... Put any socket you like on the 1/4" dr. Sure you can connect this system a bunch of different ways but in the end you are left a screwdriver or a ratchet, no? I don't see the advantage of having to connect 4 different adapters to end up with a regular P2 screwdriver.

My Klein multi nut driver would be OK if the rubber on the handle did not spin around the yellow plastic. It is worthless for anything more than hand tightened.

The problem occurred in December of 2021? It took Klein over 2 YEARS to replace the bit?

The klein stuff is neat. But realistically all the boxes would get thrown out, the bits organized into holders, and the tools in a drawer or roll up bag. Space is a huge factor and as much as I have liked the cases tools have come with, it is not viable to take up so much area. Open one drawer and be done with it instead of locking and closing 5 tabs.

9/16 = 14.2mm...The snap on socket obviously has loose tolerances.A 14 should not fit the 9/16...but also your 9/16 is probably not exact either. .563 is the decimal for 9/16....No socket is exact but it should be like 14.1...or 14.15mm.Nobody wants loose fitting sockets..Strange because snap-on is known for tight tolerances.I think the klein can afford to be tighter since in general it would not be seeing rusty fasteners like the snap-on would.

Sir, I don't have the money to buy more tools right now.

Klein ignored my request to replace a JS2 which was actually a PH2. I’m done with them.

I love Klein tools but their warranty sucks.

Too bad in Europe the klein tools are expensive

It’s nice until you lose half of those bits…

Metric metric metric already

im a tool junkie, but don't get the usefulness of these. are these tools for computer nerds or electronics?
