I have the Klein 27-in-1 and like it. I just wish someone made a 3.5mm bit holder with a 1/4" shaft, so the bits could also be used in an electric screwdriver when needed. There is a bit holder for 4mm but so far I've had no luck finding one for 3.5mm.

Hey dude, I got a recommendation for you. Might not be something you'd wanna review but either way you should try a pair of the Duluth Fire Hose cargo pants. They REALLY upped my EDC game for work. Nice to keep a few extra things in the sturdy pockets so when I'm scoping a place out I may not need my whole tool pouch. Plus they're super tough. Also, I'd love to see a harbor freight tool haul video from you. Those are always fun

I actually have bought a bunch of Duluth pants in the last little bit. I’m not sure if they are Fire Hose or not, but I like them. I’ve been getting them of eBay. I found one pair at Goodwill and really liked them.. they made me search for them on Ebay

I picked one of the Toughbuilt 16 foot tape measures recently from Lowe’s on clearance as well. So far I like it quite a bit, especially for what they’re selling it for. I like the blade control feature, and this is my only tape with the magnetic hook. I like the clip that comes with it, slips on and off my belt or tool pouch easily and has good retention. I haven’t used it a ton yet but so far, so good. Thought about the 27 in 1 Klein screwdriver, but didn’t pull the trigger on it. The handle size and storage is compelling. I have had the other Klein (the one in the case) for several months. Not really worth what I paid for it (at full retail) but $9 is a smokin deal for this. Lot’s of good bits and the case isn’t terrible especially for a drawer, tool box or work bench.

Nice additions; I think I'll get a Chalkshot myself; actually a pair because my wife will likely want one too (she does more carpentry than I do; I said in an earlier post that she is also a tool-user. Your reply to that was that we are lucky, and I certainly agree). I visited a Lowe's yesterday for the first time in months (we usually go to HD), and picked up several Klein tools, although I didn't see anything remarkable on their clearance wall. I've completed initial loadouts of my MP1X that I really like, and of my TP-LC. I also realized the tablet panel was a poor choice for my Tech MCT Blackout/Buildout; I'm not likely to need to carry a tablet in it, and its capacity for tools is otherwise too limited on just one side. I'm not sure when, but I WILL email you my loadouts when they are done. I may send the MP1X one on its own because I really like that one.
