It's great to hear some not so positive feedback on these tools. Because in the end they are not bad tools, but they didn't fit into your individual workstyle. And that's what people should always ask themselves. Does this tool fit into my workflow and does it improve it? I have dedicated toolkits for a few different tasks so it's great to have the wera driver set in some of them. Low space requirement and very versatile. However, if you always use the same two or three screwdrives the normal ones are faster, cheaper and easier to use. Just buy tools that you could actually use for your kind of work, not tools that are "just" useful and fancy.

I had that Klein nut driver for less than a week. Gave it to my father to use at home. I consider it more viable as a weapon than a tool.

I love these kinds of videos because they say a lot more about a tool with use vs “initial impression” videos which are always glowingly positive

i do hvac on boilers and chillers. i have that nut driver and i do use it. it is great for me because the size gives me the torque to open stuff up

A tax write off you don’t use is still a partial waste of money. Basically the cost of the tool minus your tax rate = waste.

Strippers always need to be TOP CLASS! Nice and thin but not too thin 🤣

I got the Milwaukee's as a gift, and thought I'd hate it, and because I had an expensive version of it's individual features, I'd use it as a beater tool. It ended up being my favorite tool that I always reach for first, but yeah the cutting edges don't stay sharp too long. I now actually wish they made a premium version of it, I also really like the grips when wearing insulated gloves to the point I got the linesman version just for it, even though I like the Klein's head more.

Ended up going with the 7/16 and 9/16 pass through but drivers from Klein to simplify things in my bag. For 1/4 and 3/8 rod

A lot of your comments were spot-on. I also purchased the same combination nut driver, which looked like a great idea. But as you stated, it's bulky and very heavy. We had an HVAC Tech visit the house for annual service one time, and I just gave it to him. Another disappointment was the Ideal 45-112 Forged Heavy-Duty Dual NM Wire Stripper. They too looked like a great idea and were pretty expensive ($40 or so). The bend in the handles is OK, but what I found was that when the jaws close, there's too much distance between the handles still, and therefore, the clamping force generated is significantly reduced. As you had stated, "I just don't like them", which is s shame. Great video.

kleins new 7-1 nut driver is awesome.

Great video. You should do another video showing what you replaced these tools with

Ratcheting screwdrivers are really only handy to have when you cant get a full turn from a normal screwdriver and a longer screwdriver also wont fit.

The Klein needle nose / strippers are my go to. I also ripped the spring right out. I can see if mine caught when closing i would replace them but thats only your pair dawg

Wera insulated vde kit is actually lit af. Used it as my main screwdrivers. Slim profile, cheap, insulated and don't waste tons of space. Carried like 6 different bits with me with one handle to swap. They take less space than a pen.

bro "I took the spring outta these pliers for some reason" 10 seconds later "These pliers need a spring. I want them to open up naturally" Come on man

I swapped my klein nut driver for the klein flip socket driver on a milwaukee 14 in 1 handle, and it is probably the best combination driver I have had to date. As far as wire strippers go, I enjoy my milwaukee ones, but the terminal crimper leaves alot to be desired.

Thanks for the video. Finally someone that has the same observations about those Klein strippers. I always thought I was the one with the problem for not liking them. Wrote it down to different job environments and requirements since I don't do construction work and am not based in the US so electrical wiring norms are slightly different. Most reviewers seem to speak highly of them and when I did live in the US, I'd see them in the bags of handymen, electricians, etc.

Last year around Christmas I saw that cheap Husky brand needle nose pliers and wire stripper combo on sale at Home Depot for about 8 bucks and got them just for a backup when I don't have my Klein wire strippers. I don't know how long they will last but so far they have been great. They strip wire about as well as my American made Klein wire strippers. I do general home improvements so I don't do electrical work every day but these Husky wire strippers have done probably 100+ outlets and lights and they still seem fine. The needle nose pliers actually work as pliers as well. I basically just wanted to test out this type of wire stripper and will probably upgrade to a name brand.

Since I tend to stuff all my tools into the pockets of my work clothes, I love the wera kit. But I don't use the pouch it's coming with either. I just put the handle with the mainly used blade in it, then some additional blades into the folding rule pocket, a bunch of pliers into the jacket and I'm good to go for 90% of upcoming work

I love all my holstery stuff

I used to love Klein screwdrivers, but they’ve gone way down hill. Also I’ve got 3-4 Klein tools that had the grips rip straight off in less than a couple months of use. Strippers, glow in the dark linesman’s, 11-1 mag screwdriver, all junk. And to top it all off, you can’t even swap them out for new at electric supply shop.. now it has to be sent in to be warranted. The only klein I will buy anymore are the tape measures(when they are new, I love them), they hardly last a month either but I bought a second pair so I can keep one in rotation while the other gets warranted..

The klien spin tight with attachments was a must go on my list also. I prefer there impact version, as i can utilize it also on the drill need be.

Nut driver I'd regularly used in my kit. Dead handy and easy carried about, but It's metric not Ancient measurements

I’m a corrosion tech. I use that nut driver everyday. I had to modify tf out of it. Any hex end smaller than 7/16 i had to drill out because it wouldn’t allow the stud to pass through and on the 7/16 hex i had to take the dumb detent ball out. Other than that i absolutely love it My co-worker has those Milwaukee strippers. I can’t stand them. I’d rather strip with with my cable cutters

I like the nut driver but I used it heavily when I was an industrial maintenance tech on disassembly of pumps.

Interesting. I have both the Vessel and Wera ratcheting screwdrivers, and I use the Vessel all the time, and the Wera not so much. I am annoyed about the way the Vessel switch gets bumped accidentally, but I like it so much I bought one for my home office. Excellent tool reviews, even when I disagree with your preference, since you're very clear about what you like and dislike about the tool. Thanks.

I have one of those Milwaukee but boxes I put every torx head but I’ll use in it, I put a 1/2” and 3/8” impact adapter, the smallest unibit(goes on a impact), I have a hex head but that is 5/16 and 3/8, a 9/16 5/8 and 1/2” impact nut driver, square tip, Philips and that purple tacky bits flat/square Has everything I’ll ever use in it

The Wera VDE set? I use it all the time. Not sure why you’d buy that and not use it.

Nice tools 👍

My tool junk draw looks exactly like that pile in this video I kid you not the first tool the nut driver I could not agree more, bought it messed around with it for 30 seconds and realized I didn’t like it. But holding screw drivers I also never use.

My favorite multitool pliers is the Southwire S7N1HD, specially for demolition and when im working with MC, it cuts MC very easy, and works better than cutters like the (CCP9) 9"" HIGH-LEVERAGE CABLE CUTTERS, also only strips the most common wires; 14,12 and 10

Show us a vid of what replaced those. Love the honesty

I love my vessel ratcheting ball grip. Insulated, nice low backdrag, good steel for the tip. And the subby comes in handy. But i will say I've accidentally switched it many times. I have a similar Anex that is easier to hold without hitting the switch.

I bought the Milwaukee strippers to replace my strippers and needle nose and I was pretty surprised as how well they worked with both.

You need to do some deadlifts buddy. You will be able to tear steel with your bare hands. Anyway, I like that first one but I was born with a big bulky tool so that's just what I am used to.

2:40 I need to do that to ALL my 1/4 hex screwdrivers

i just ordered my vessel ratchet driver specifically for that little stubby when i install cabin lights on trucks at the shop i need a nice little stubby and i chose that because it looks cool and seems to be useful GUESS WE'LL SEE.

How much do you want for the Klein nut driver? I have a Klein 11 in 1 screwdriver but that nut driver looks great. On the one bag that doesn't have a clip you could adopt one if you drill it out and use Chicago screws to mount it. Maybe take the clip off of the little pouch at the end of the video and use that.

The KLEIN 'All Purpose' Pliers are pretty good for HVAC, but you gotta get the version with crimpers on them in place of the spring - didn't like them at first, but after a few weeks I started to like them and now I use them daily. Probably wouldn't use them for Electrical install - but for HVAC Service they're great.

As for the nut driver, one key use is fan bar boxes, the bulk helps in driving the bolt there other than that kinda useless can’t even drive ground screws in 1900’s

The Vessel ball drivers are great for motorcycle carb work but I don't carry mine to wire anything.

Good list for sure.. I’d just add if you are tearing down computers, or inventorying ram in 2000 laptops, or even better server jobs that ball handle is nice imo

The Klein multi nut driver is much better if you take it out of the hand grip and use it like that.

Yeah I hate that Klein nutdriver and hybrid needle nose stripper. Worst tools I ever bought. The needle nose stripper just doesn't do a good job at anything and I only used the nutdriver once. I've gotten rid of all my nutdrivers and just carry a bag/case of nut driving bits then use them on my 11 in 1 klein multibit driver or impact. Nice part of the Klein 11 in 1 is that the extension and bits are impact rated, so I'm always carrying around a set of bits for my impact. The other thing I like is my Klein hybrid linesman and stripper. It's different than the one you showed in the video. Mine doesn't have the curved comfort grip. It has a linesman plier grip like your milwaukee and that thing is solid. I can easily pigtail 4 #12s with them. Anything more than that or bigger than that I will grab my linesmans, but I've really cut down my use of linesmans with them.

The wera vde set is great, but the case is so bulky. I chucked the bag out, left the ph2 in the handle and stored the spare blades in a little bag meant for sunglasses

I want to get some of the Wera clip in screwdriver sets. My boss has some and I end up using them all the time. I’m a commercial catering engineer in the UK and these work perfectly for my day to day job. Just a lot to spend on them but well worth it.

I hated my Milwaukee’s from the moment I took it out of the packaging

I love that multi nutdriver as an industrial electrician but its definitely not worth it unless youre using that 9/16 all of the time. I started using the wera zyclop and sockets instead just for the versatility anyways.

2:18 not for girls 3:38 didn’t actually have a problem with 4:52 cheap but not on list 5:20 doesn’t have a problem with this one either 5:55 I got bored.

Question, that first tool, you said it has 7 sizes. But the handles also seems to have more tools

Yeah, that first tool the Klein Multi driver, I bought one of those and never used it! It's too heavy and bulky.

I have that ratcheting wera too and maybe have used it once in the past few years lol interested in trying the pb Swiss but it would be more a collection piece than something I’d really use daily

The Vessels are great for trim-out, but now I got their Japanese USB-C auto-screwdriver

No doubt, separate screw drivers are more comfortable than those Wera with replaceable blades, but they are the only choice if you're limited in luggage.

Huh, I've got a no brand name knock off of those Wera drivers, with the handle and the shafts seperated, but it has double headed shafts so you need less space for the same number of bit heads.

You took the spring out and then talk smack😂

Milwaukee pliers are only good new out of box. But they all go dull fast.

Maybe it's just me, but I use the most, tools that I hate the most. That is so I wear them instead on the nice ones. 😂

I was gifted that Klein nut driver off of a journeymen who said “if an apprentice asks twice they need it” first time somebody asked to borrow a nut driver it was given. It’s not kindness, it’s a shit tool

That's why union contractors should provide job specific tools

thats the old version of the Milwaukee strippers, the new ones have better handle and a crimper

Most Leatherman!

Kinda goofy is how I would describe a lot of klein tools. The rest are pretty fantastic.

I’ll buy that 9512 pouch from you. If you want to part with it

Lol those stripper needle nose pliers by Klein are awesome. I don’t know what this guy is on. I love carrying less shit. Hybrid tools are great. I don’t understand how you say this doesn’t fit in your tool belt. So now you’re carrying 4 nut drivers, a wire stripper and needle nose pliers?

waste of money? or tax write off

Use must know of a young apprentice that needs a few tools . . .

Funnily enough Those Milwaukee strippers are all I use, they re my all time favorite strippers, I use em as needlenose pliers, pop KOs, strip, cut MC, they re great, I guess I am lucky with the ones I got, I ve been using them every single day for the last 2.5 yeats and they still cut and strip like day 1, it's unbelievable.

Sale them🤷🏻‍♂️

Use it. Sub out something for a day or 2 and give them a try.

Do klein strippers travel in a kleinbus?

At least what you have is 7 in 1 nut driver, what i have is 6 in 1😂😂😂, waste of money 😢

Your right thumb looks like a big toe.

Its not ideal its klien.

90% of Klein tools suck
