I hope Kreg’s tool succeeds but that other tool manufacturers also jump into the Domino clone game. I’d be excited for a corded model at that price point.

I can’t speak to this guy’s specific motivation, but I always assume that internet influencers who get sent free tools or otherwise have access before they’re released to the public generally feel at least an implicit obligation to give positive reviews.

Looks like it’s only available as powered by Kreg batteries. Perhaps with the cost of batteries over time the Kreg might still be a better value (assuming it works well) but I still don’t love that it’s not corded.

I have and like 6” Bahco. The newer Milwaukee models actually seem to be really highly regarded. I prefer pliers wrenches (Knipex) for most situations where I would’ve previously used a traditional adjustable but sometimes I still feel ad adjustable is preferable particularly as a backer.

The new Klein is my first ball grip ratcheting screwdriver and I’m getting used to the different feel in hand and operation so with that background I’ll give my thoughts. The selector switch can be operated with one hand but I don’t find that to be easy. The bumps on the switch ring designed to...

I now have one of the new Klein ratcheting ball handle screwdrivers. Not as smoothly operating as my Snap On hard handle and Megapro (automotive version), but with the finger spinning function it operates just fine. I’ve never worried too much about the direction of selector switches but I do...

I grew up calling them saber saws but, like you, now generally refer to them as jigsaws because that seems to be the currently prevalent term.

Several new reviews have popped up by YouTubers who’ve been sent these new screwdrivers by Klein. A couple have said the tooth count is 24, noting that the action isn’t as smooth and the backdrag is higher than the Anex in particular.

I’ve seen some of the reviews on YouTube and I don’t recall anyone giving a number. However, Bzeug says it has “very low backdrag” and I think he was at that point comparing it to the Vessel. I’ve not used the Vessel so I don’t know how it is as one to judge others by.

Cool. Thanks.

I see that theycan be preordered from Acme Tools and now also Ohio Power Tools. I wonder how long it will be until they get to the shelves at Lowe’s.

I had been thinking about getting the Anex but will now wait for the Klein.

“Best Value” indeed. It’s tempting.

Thanks. I like acetate handled screwdrivers and will keep them in mind if I ever have the need for more screwdrivers.

Please let me know your thoughts on the quality of those blue Best Value screwdrivers. Thanks

I bought my Gorilla ladder at Home Depot a few years ago, heavily discounted during their BF sale that runs for a while during the holidays. If anyone is looking to buy, this is the time of year to do so.

I get the feeling that a lot of the people who have overhyped the ICON kit didn’t even know that bit ratchets existed before this kit was released. Add in the fact that small tools and anything in little boxes are super popular now, partly due to the growing EDC tool movement, and you can see...

Yes, sometimes together.

Thanks. I picked up some 3/8 ICONs on sale a couple of months ago and I like them, but subsequently had wondered whether the Quinns would have been just as good for less $.

Do you think the ICON sockets are much better, and better enough to justify the higher price, than Quinn?
