Great sets and boxes, I like the pass through sockets and ratchet. The nice part is that all of them are impact rated. 👍👍👍👍

The more you show the Kline systems the more I like them. I've never been a fan of those plastic cases but those actually look robust. Thanks Doc

I have the 1/4 pass through. Pretty stout. I wouldn’t throw them on the ground but it has survived a couple of couple feet drops

Tool makers have always introduced innovations, but is it possible to consider this a Golden Age of tool manufacturing? Might be an interesting conversation.

I feel like Klein was sitting on a lot of new and innovative tools till they exited Home Depot. I’m talking a year or two of built up innovative products.

man, i'm really loving how far my tools have come in the past 10-20 yrs. this kit is awesome, i know my next kit out

I love Klein, they're killing it with these new systems! I bought the 3/8 pass through socket set and the 11 in 1 ratcheting screwdriver. Totally lightened up my tool kit and replaced my nut drivers, socket set, and screw drivers.

Klein has always been a professional grade tool manufacturer and this is an example of smart invocations that are well worth the money. I’m sure they’re not cheap. Not for the handyman.

i have owned a set of passthrough sockets since around 2007-2008 branded Kobalt made by gear wrench and they have never let me down.

Everything Klein makes is top notch materials, top notch design, due to a top notch engineering and quality delivery model that has been their focus from the beginning. The stuff just has to work.

I especially like that you have Klein tool strategically placed in your video. If I were Klein I would absolutely compensate you for your hard work.

Yikes! The way you were just throwing them willy nilly all over instead of back into their carefully considered place really made me want a set so I could put them back properly, lol…

Klein tools are also about 20% cheaper than comparable Milwaukee packout stuff. Great tools, well thought out, at reasonable prices. I've been using Klein at my outdoor job for years now and they just work.

That’s wild how handy just a few boxes can be, love it!

I’ve been buying more and more Klein tools lately. Really love them. These boxes and the monster pass through hole are really nice!

most definitely will be picking up the pass through set! Hopefully they release a metric set too. Thanks for the review

Grab an extra pass thru extension, then find a handle from an old tool. Drill out the handle to fit the extension and epoxy it in place. Now you have a pass through nut driver that fits all your pass through sockets. Been using one of these since gear wrench brought them out 20 years ago.

Thanks for the informative video once again doc. I’ve been on the fence about getting the pass through 1/4”after my last 1/4 set went rogue and broke outta its bin. Caught myself digging for too long in my pouch for a socket only to slap it on a ratchet that spun to infinity and beyond 😅.

Hey Doc. Love your vids.. Keep’em coming. Thank you!

At first I really didn't like the idea of a proprietary ratchet connection but as soon as I saw the passthrough my position changed. Now you don't need to have a whole other set of deep sockets, just use the extension, or get a longer one if needed.

Got the 11-in-1 Ratchetting Driver, and small ModBOX set because of your reviews. Thanks!

Perfect timing! Glad I caught this video! Our neighborhood yard sale is this coming Saturday. Think I just may sell my 30-year old Craftsman socket set and buy this.

Fantastic looking tools! I've been noticing more Klein tool products and liking them. Much better pricing then Milwaukee. Very well thought out kits

I really like these Impressive Impact Rated Klein kits! Well done, Sir!

Great review. Thanks for showcasing

Nice tools 👍

Clever, very clever! Those boxes are so well-designed Klein should offer _generic boxes_ for storing items other than tools-nuts, bolts and washers for instance.

These are awesome, I just need them to make a metric set of the same lineup and it would be the perfect addition to my small kit i keep in my car.

Yeah until they make metric (which would handle most non-American cars and motorcycles) then I have to stay on the sidelines for these. Otherwise they look great, I just have no use for them.

I'll have to reconsider the mod box line up now

Nice! One of my favorite channels! 👊

Klein ftw. I’m recently a new buyer and not going back.

As much as i might prefer SAE for the availability of cheap, strong hardware, most of my cars use metric stuff. I hope klein comes out with a metric kit soon

This is amazing... If they made and aviation 12 point system they would rule.. I would buy it if it was catered to Aircraft maintenance. If Klein wants to reach out to me it would be great and I can make them a ton of money.... 100 of thousand aviation mechanics out there.

Just ordered all four you have in the video!!!

Subscribed. Went to Lowes last weekend saw these, now need to justify yet another set of tools. These could be perfect for my travel trailer kit.

Great tools!Thank you!

looks like a well thought out tool set

I have had a set similar to this. Craftsman. And I have used the hell out of these things. Time for.an upgrade

I love these things! They look insanely good. What do I do though-buy a whole new set of tools just because they’re better than my old ones,and then stop using my old,perfectly good tools?!?!

Yes.

Those look like they are very handy. Even just to throw in a tool bag or bucket.

Gearwrench had the first pass through ratchets and sockets that I know of. I inherited them from my dad.

I use the Klein screw driver set as well as the handheld Carbon monoxide meter. They work great!

Thirty years ago I bought some pass through socket kit don’t remember the brand but was either German or US made . It was of high quality but never used very much as the low profile of the tool made my knuckles connect with the work much of the time . My wish list would include s handle to be a locking flex design . Sadly someone borrowed it years ago and I cant remember who .

These tools are great.

...still waiting for the metric versions! As for SAE....just one 13-piece set in my Lowe's. Nothing else. Empty shelf.

Yeah lowes never fails to disappoint

Hey that Dewalt yellow box looks just like mine! OPEN & LOCK written on it. haha

GearWrench has some nice little sets as well. I bought a set of 1/4" screwdriver + T handle, Metric/Imperial sockets going up to 13mm and 1/2" as well as 24 driver bits, has the bit driver that fits both handles, a long and short extension for the sockets and a flex-shaft all for ~$25 back around 2008-ish. I've never had a single set of tools that I could do so much work under the hood of a car with. we have a pair of old mid 80's Mercedes and I pull that set out every time! i can pull off the whole valve assembly to adjust valve timings(and airbox to get to it). didn't get a lot of use early on when i bought it but it looked like a nice set lol now it's the "go to" out of the 2 large toolboxes we have packed with generations of wrenches and sockets! unless we need to do wheel and brake work!

They need a handle, thanks for showing them. They are cool, one day I’ll buy some.

As a ASE master technician for home use I love craftsman tools, great value when their on sale. as a professional Snap on and a mix of other tools. A roll around cart and small tool, box is great for home use and convenience, you can get a good cheap cart at Harbor freight tool store.

Those are nice! I'd be buying those if I didn't already have all the sockets and drivers I need. I have klein screwdrivers and some nut driver sets. Great quality.

the mod box, set ups for fishing, would be sick lol

I like that. The Milwaukee bit driver kit is kind of cumbersome. The bits are too contained. Like hard to get out. With Klein. I like the clear tops, I like the spring loaded latch. I wonder if they will come out with empty containers that allow the consumer to customize their own kit? Like those who are well invested in another brand who don’t want to buy another set can just swap the boxes around.

OK these look very nice

Nice Box

well thanks.. there went my dang paycheck this week.. hope you're happy.. but seriously, these are pretty sweet.

Metal boxes are what’s needed

I bought the pass thru set in the old blow mold case so mad. Not to mention lowes removed themselves from Canada and we have no klein retailer who carries mod box in stores. Only custom order through online tool retailers

I have an original set of Made in USA Armstrong Eliminator pass-through sockets.... These Kleins look like a exact copy other than the 1/4 drive adapter.

Need this in metric

These look very nice, the only thing I can see not thought out is my Bahco pass through set has dual size per bit as it holds the bits from the outside, where as this one with dual size gets blocked as you have to insert the extension, other than that they look good.

I’m buying those

I tried the crescent pass through wrench many moons ago. It worked pretty well. The only downside is that it didn’t even last that long. The gears in the wrench were worn out and broke. Hopefully the Klein option is better made

Just buy it on the internet and have it shipped to house.

Would be nice to see the 3/8" socket set (#65400) have a metric option or include a 3/8" pass through ratchet in the SAE/Metric socket set (#65239). Otherwise you're buying duplicate size (although not identical) SAE sockets in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4 and part of the appeal of these is having a very compact package. It also doesn't appear that Klein sells the 3/8" pass through socket separately to add to the #65239 kit. Kind of silly the SAE/Metric set comes with the adaptor for a pass through ratchet, but doesn't include the actual ratchet - you must also purchase another whole kit with duplicate sizes to get that.

0:32 Im interested in that 2 piece ratcheting quadwrench set

What's up Doc ? I bought the 64 piece micro set off Amazon, and the 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter would not stick to the magnet in the 1/4" shaft. All the other bit would though. I was hesitant to order a replacement due to concerns of getting another of the same defective batch, but I sent it back and got another with the same problem. So heads up to everyone. I'm not sure what to do, contact Amazon or Kline directly..........

Some of these do not show up on Amazon when I looked. The links do not access all of the items. Your Lowe's must have a wonderful inventory because the one's where I shop do not have all of these items.

My question is how good is the low pro ratchet?

Can I use the big sockets for automotive use? As in an impact wrench?

Shame that these and the Milwaukee insider rachet are doing the same idea but in different ways when cross compatibility would have been awesome.

This video is about to cause some damage to my paycheck 😂

The pass-thru socket/ratchet. I bought the Craftsmen years ago (like 10 +). Did the patent run out or Klein purchase the rights to sell these. It looks identical.

These look pretty awesome, but when working on a car, space is usually a major problem and these look like they take up a lot of space to try to loosen a bolt or nut in a cramped space. That would be my only concern with them.

Do these small boxes attach to the big boxes ?

Curious if the pass through sockets would be compatible the the new milwaukee pass through ratchet?

For when a metric system ones for europe?

Nice tools & nice review ...Thx

Looks like Sata, Gearwrench and Craftsman have the same pass through drive.

What for is 9mm? I got it always with set of tools and have never use it while working on European cars and motorbikes. Not once. Same with 6.5mm

Great design by Klein on the Mod Box. DeWalt boxes are so hit and miss. I like the Tough System 2.0, and the more recent T-Stak, but everything else is usually junk and they’re completely incompatible with other DeWalt systems. Milwaukee or Festool though… 🤤🤤🤤

It's nice, but I'm looking for a metric set and they don't have any.

this looks awesome...a lil pricey i was still gonna get if they was made in usa....but theyre made in taiwan...so im gonna wait on price to come down...i still appreciate that theyre made in taiwan instead of china...if it was china i def wouldnt get...my tools dont have to be made in usa but ive made the decision to not support china...i rlly do appreciate its made in taiwan and not china...but i wouldve bought today if it was made in usa

There's better pass through sets in the same price bracket for sure.

Klein, if you read these comments (I don’t believe they do, but in the off chance…) PLEASE sell empties. I need empty boxes of these (small, small long, medium). Please I can cut foam to form factor and place it inside and make use of these boxes for other tools I have. They are PERFECT for organizing people with ADHD. You’ve struck on a gold mine accidentally… Also, empties could make a great Bento box for food.

I'm sure Home Depot was insisting on some proprietary inclusion on their tools, to keep their contract going. Klein figured we're not going to give you more than just paid space in your store. We're not partners like that.
