Lowe's New Kobalt Brushless Impact Driver AIN'T What I EXPECTED! kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYh516edoNPcoZM.html

As an Electrician, Klein and Milwaukee is the Bred & Butter of my daily tools for over my 40 years

I like that Klein is producing new stuff

Love Klein . Home Depot was always 2 hours away in my area, leaving State Electric a limited selection. Lowes needs to roll hard on this

I like it! That metal bracket on it the inside for a light is a great idea

I recently acquired Klein insulated shaft screwdrivers. They are the best screwdrivers I have ever used. They have not slipped, even on Phillips head screws! I am planning a large purchase of them for Xmas this year.

oh yeah when it comes to their basic hand tools i rarely consider other brands. their side cutters and linemen pliers are amazing.

Packout still sets the standard for now, but it's nice to see some competition. I'm always happy to see new, useful innovation, like the upright slots in the handle as an example. They've got a long way to go before justifying those prices, though.

Klein sent out a survey about two years ago about the different modular storage systems and asked for input. I’m happy to see that several of the suggested features made it into the production models. (The survey may have been through a Reddit channel or discord server) I recall having conversation about the different mods that people have done to their other systems that they would like to see from the factory, the upright organizer for conduit benders and levels was one, as well as the removable handle.

Pack out is nice and lots of options. But it’s too expensive and they never run any sales. I just got a three piece set of dewalt for about $160 on sale. I’ve been watching packout for a sale and nope doesn’t happen. Maybe Klein won’t drop the ball here

Go to their site they are coming out this summer

After seeing your video on the Craftsman Tradestack boxes and all the abuse you threw at them, I bought them on clearance and have been very happy ever since. Especially how they connect to tstak/versa stack boxes with the adapter. I haven't ran mine over yet but I know it would survive if I did thanks to you! But the mod box looks pretty high quality too

Lowes rolling out Klein Tools (which HD previously had an exclusive on) is a big win for them! I agree with the previous comment that Lowes has to roll hard on this as I think the battle to win more Pro business always starts with product and the specific brands that are going to drive traffic. Pros buy for projects, and not always for specific products, but incrementally adding in Pro brands like Klein...like Sharkbite...like Dewalt are all moves in the right direction. LOW stock is up 12.1% YTD vs HD's 2.2% so wall street agrees these moves are accretive and creating value! Great video, thanks VCG!

Only thing I’ve owners from Klein and it’s just these heavy canvas pouches but man those things are built tough!! Love it!

Very very cool, im definitely interested this is the best style I’ve seen other than pack out

A shame Klein Tools isn't going to have a big selection at The Home Depot anymore. Just wish Lowes had more stores to find the stuff at. I guess most of my Klein Tools shopping will be done on Amazon.

Picked on up and love it. I keep my levels in the back by pipe bender. I have a hard cap lid that closes on the back of my Tacoma, so it is tough for me to get large toolboxes in and leave it closed with the removal of the handle on the mod box. It is a solid solution. Pack out low profile box also fits in the back of my truck, but the handle is cumbersome and leaves a lot to be desired. Milwaukee is definitely no slouch in the game but Klein is definitely coming out swinging like Vince said

Excellent thanks Klein tools

I'm still using the DeWalt TSTAK and looking to upgrade, I like watching you're video's and I have been thinking of getting the pack out but also been looking at the Klein modbox ? I like the rubber wheels and the removable handles that's a plus

Bro, this system looks Hella better than PACKOUT. I've got 3 pc pack out and some storage bins. Lots of storage, but pain in ass to have to remove all boxes to get to another one Hopefully KLEIN thought that out and will be better priced than MILWAUKEE. Also, it blows that H D doing away with KLEIN. W T H are they gonna replace them with? Crappy line of SOUTHWIRE and GARDER BENDER products? WIHA, KNIPEX, GEARWRENCH, or something Hopefully really good comes in behind KLEIN. I mean damn, this pushes me over to LOWE'S to buy KLEIN, But still gotta go h d for MILWAUKEE lol

I'd like to see some drawers for it, I use the 3 drawer packout for my larger 18 and 20 volt drills/impact wrenches and I like that a lot more than just a box that I'd have to unstack to open up cause I need my right angle drill but grabbed my regular impact drill the first time. If they ever do that, it'd give packout a real run for its money- I love the slots on the handle for things like my level and fiber sticks, and that's the easiest slide out handle I've seen yet on a packout-like system.

klein is great tools.

The Lowes next to my house has the new Klein tool section way on the opposite side of the store from the tools and electrical supplies tucked next to the pro desk. Looks like they are setting up Klein for failure.

Dare I say the mod box is an upgraded pack out? Just the ability to carry benders on the handle is a game changer

So milwaukee is taking over kleain at Homedepot and klein is making its way to Lowe's if im getting it right?

The accessories are a nice touch because Packout doesn’t make any accessories for the boxes. I got Packout already.

It's funny. Home Depot drops Kline tools and lows picks them up. Guess I've become more of a lows shopper now.

I have about 600 dollars in lowes giftcards thanks to my credit card points. Just waiting for klein to drop the drawers and parts bins for the mod box then I'm gonna jump. But for right now its not worth it yet. I wanna replace my huskey bins but as a fire alarm contractor, there are too many small parts for me not to have parts bins.

I like these set ups, i just cant make the jump…. Not sure if i am the only one, but i work out of klien canvas bags, and just carry what i need in the moment on the job. I feel like with these systems they dont make it more convenient they just make it so people carry around way more than they need in the moment. I mean most places i can park within 50 feet of the building. Anyone else on the same page as me or am I off base?

Depends what you’re doing. My current job is maintenance technician work and I could probably get away with a canvas bag like you and be fine.

Imitation is the best form of flattery. When you (PackOut) have everyone in the game chasing after you and doing a pretty close copy of your tools and even the accessories, then you know you have something good going on.
