Klutch Tools: Northern Tool's Mysterious House Brand?
Have you ever been browsing Northern Tool and Equipment's vast selection of tools, only to stumble upon the unfamiliar brand, Klutch? You're not alone. Klutch seems to be Northern Tool's own in-house brand, but a closer look reveals some interesting inconsistencies that leave you wondering: just who exactly is making these Klutch tools?
Northern Tool's Klutch Kludge
Northern Tool doesn't exactly advertise Klutch as their house brand. There's no splashy "Klutch: Tools Built for You by Northern Tool" anywhere on their website. Instead, Klutch tools are scattered throughout the online store, often with minimal descriptions and specifications.
Mysterious Manufacturing
Another curiosity is the complete absence of information regarding who actually manufactures Klutch tools. Northern Tool's website offers no clues, and the Klutch brand itself seems to have no online presence whatsoever. This makes it impossible to research the company's reputation, quality control standards, or even where the tools are made.
Are Klutch Tools Up to Snuff?
Then there's the issue of quality. Customer reviews for Klutch tools are mixed. Some users report positive experiences, finding Klutch tools to be decent budget options. However, others mention encountering quality issues, with concerns ranging from flimsy construction to malfunctions.
Here's the crux of the matter: without knowing who manufactures Klutch tools, it's impossible to gauge their quality against established brands. Are you getting a hidden gem or a potential dud? It's a gamble.

The 1/2 inch impact 20v is the exact same as walmart 20v Hyper Tough 1/2 inch impact. Same charger, battery (except the klutch has a fuel meter) walmart specs 300ftlbs Northern specs 500ftlbs.

Exactly what the tool industry needs.... another brand of power tools... ... I really think the home owner would just pickup whatever is local to them at homedepot, lowes, menards, etc.

I'm glad you are reviewing them. Don't have a Northern what's it's name stores in NYC, stumbled across a commercial on KZfaq advertising about them, I wish I could get one mailed to me for free

These are made by the same company that makes the Hyper Tough brushless 1/2 inch impact wrench. I think its Chervon. Batteries are interchangeable with Hyper Tough.

Just from the 4 bar system in the battery, I’d say it’s not S/BD. With the font the “brushless” is in on the back and a very slight resemblance to the flex compact set, I’d say it was a Chervon tool. The mode buttons kinda resemble the ones on the Kobalt as well. But you’ve handled them and I haven’t, so I could be dead wrong lol. Either way, great review as always Bryan.

Oddly, they resemble so many different tools that it is hard to place them. You could be right.

If I had to guess could be a Skil replica sold by Chervon. Think Amazon sells under Denali brand, apparently their batteries are interchangeable. Could also be a Hart replica from Walmart sold by TTI? Not interested, I have my Dewalt and Milwaukee but somewhat curious now.

I would guess these maybe re-branded "Einhell" tools which sell as Ozito here in AUS

Interesting! A quick google search says Einhell is not sold in the USA, so if your guess is true, these would be new to the USA market.

Could you please do a review on Dewalt’s 3” cut off tool? Thank You 😊

definitely not SBD. it looks like KIMO which is Yongkang. It is a standard ali express tooling. The charger actually looks like a Masterforce base charger which is a Chervon product. I'd love to find out more. A tool breakdown comparison would prove it one way or another.
