A couple more... Second picture is a flea market find.. other than the rust, they were in perfect shape. For $2, not bad at all.

For the last picture, not sure if that speed screwdriver is bent or ?? Another flea market find.. cheap, but will need to see if its not exactly like new.....

I did not even know that Klein made the key fobs and now I have one. Thank you very much Jeff. I would post a picture of it next to my new coffee mug, (thank you Dennis) but when we posted that picture the other day, it took 45 minutes to figure out how to do it. I will go through some boxes of tools that I have and see what I have to return the favors. Thanks again guys.

I find Klein A LOT at the local flea market. I'm pretty well set on tools, but can't pass up a Klein pair of pliers for a buck or two.

I'll buy all the Klein you got for $1 each.

Picked this up at my local HD today. Klein 98002BT "beverage tool" I bought my boss as a bday gift. The store doesn't stock them but it was only $7.20 from HD online, free shipping to my local store. I'm surprised the lettering is actually stamped, not laser etched into the tool.

I think if HD actually stocked these they would sell a lot of them. Seems well made.

Posted these in the Garage Sale thread, re-posting them here as well. Found this set of three M. Klein & Sons pliers from a local seller. Really good condition!

I really wish I would have have taken some pictures when I had all of my electrical tools (mostly Klein) consolidated into a couple of tool bags, rather than spread across two shops.

Had a chance to take a photo today. You can just barely see the handles of the Journeyman needle nose & dikes, and the Cman Pro/Klein made strippers.

I really like the Klein driver handles in case you can't tell.

I wanna know wtf is up with all these people finding tools in pawn shops.. no pawn shops I've walked into in NYC have ANYTHING for sale.. it's a guy behind a counter buying gold or whatever else they buy.. absolutely nothing is for sale anywhere. The look at me like im a ***** if I ask if they sell anything.

Yeah.. not sure .. the shops around us in Indy all sell the collateral when the loan isn't kept up.. Some is absolute junk, others gems. Need to plow through a bunch to find them. Went to a pawn shop on the NE side of Indy with my son.. a whole room (40x60) full of tools. Lots of Klein meters and fish tapes. Sockets and wrenches by the # Tons of power tools.. My head hurt just walking around looking at it all. Out in the main pawn shop store, there was a cabinet full of pole climber hooks... maybe 10 pairs very unusual to see those. A lot of the shops also do a fair business on eBay.. so...

Not sure what the rules are around your neck of the woods, but here if the loan goes into default the collateral is sold.... to cover costs.

I helped a buddy do some work in his house 15 years ago or so,
he was using a set of Chromed Klein 9" Linesmans,
with white handles!

He was in a wedding for one of the "Klein" kids,
and they were the wedding gift for the grooms-men :bounce:

No joke, I should have grabbed a pic of them.



Personally, that was right about when I stopped buying Klein,
the HD200-9NE's I always bought started wearing out in under a year, instead of getting 2-3 years out of them.

I thought it might be a Home Depot-spec thing,
but the Supply House & Sears bought ones were the same.

Final straw was when the last new pair broke in half :mad:

and Sears to deKlein me returning them.

For $5 more I bought Snap-On's :thumbup:

A lot of places around here will not warranty Klein anymore, so I mail mine in now .
I agree years ago they seem like they were made better. I have a pair going over 20 years still going strong along with some older screwdrivers !
I still like Klein a lot better than Channellock.
