They don’t seem to make a standard 6 in 1 at all, not sure they even made one non-glow in the dark.
Enderes has a nice one with cushion grip!

Enderes back up and running? I’m kind of a sucker for a standard Klein 5 in 1. Just wish they made a standard 6 in 1. I have the stubby and the extra long 6 in 1.

Do you have a source for the Enderes? A quick search turned up nothing.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Enderes has been up and running for 5-6 years. Give Steve at the factory a call.

See pic for part number

 

[KnurledNut]

The 32559 extended reach is a 6 in 1.

hung the screwdriver in my NOS/commemorative section, ala the Lugzsonian

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Nice commemorative section... and zipped tied in to prevent a weak moment and a quick press into service...

Anyone here like the Klein leather tool bags?

 

[javyLSU]

Very cool Jeff!

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Mb4, are you thinking of the canvas / leather tool bags or ?

I needed laser thermometer (son "requsitioned" mine) so I went to HD and got the LR5; overkill for sure, but needed....

 

[jeffmoss26]

buddy had these masks made and gave me one...goes great with my Klein hat and jacket!
I ordered some replacement bits for my magnetic 11 in 1, and a Klein USB-C cable from Klein Connection.

 

[KnurledNut]

^^^^^
The mask is nice, but im loving the old logo on that beanie!

 

[KnurledNut]

Been needing a new work coffee cup.
Probably gonna throw the magnetic lanyard in with my DMM accessories.

 

[Ton ton]

Nice.

Here's my Klein collection. There are some duplicates of the stuff I use every day. Once it gets some wear on it I will get new and send the old stuff to the backup toolbox or garage. Picked up the new linesman pliers and strippers on a clearance deal at the parts house just good stuff to have for backups.

Nice collection!

They don't. That is a custom made chuck key out of an old Phillips screwdriver. The shaft fit the chuck key perfectly and I just welded a nut to the end to keep it on there. Before I got my M18 hole hawg with the quick chuck it was all regular chucks on hole hawg drills and it is nice to get a good tight grip on the bit when you are drilling out a house or apartments. Klein should come out with one. I know electricians have been making custom high leverage chuck keys for years.

 

[redwrench60]

You fooled me on the Chuck key too! I was gonna hit the net and track one down lol.

They're not that hard to make. You could even cut threads on the end and use a acorn nut for a more finished look. Klein makes all sorts of gimmicky stuff they should make one of these. I know they would sell especially to electricians.

 

[redwrench60]

I know what I’m doing with my next worn out phillips

 

[Dennis Leigh Henry]

Yep.. next flea market "bin of shame" I'll be getting a handle or two to make a couple for around the shop..

I didn't see a thread for Vaco tools. But since Vaco became Klein, I figured I'd post this here just in case any of you Klein fans would enjoy some Vaco **** too. I put a Klein Lineman plier in the picture just so it wouldn't be entirely off-topic, lol. There's not a lot of pictures of Vaco tools that AREN'T screwdrivers and nut drivers. Here's what I have:

New grips for old linesmans

My most relied on tool in my Klein tool collection. I’ve had these 9” linesman pliers for so many years, using them all day long. Somehow I managed not to blow them up! Recently found that I wore holes in the grips but luckily they make replacements. Love these pliers!

When I was an apprentice I had a journeyman that would take all of his brand new Klein pliers or cutters and strip off the handles and put the replacement ones on He liked them better. I always thought it was weird but when you use them every day you need to be comfortable.
