I discovered new Klein bit ratchet tool sets, and must admit that they look really good.
It seems that these launched out of nowhere, and I only learned about them because I decided to check Amazon for new Klein releases. I’m glad I did!
Shown above is the 64pc set, 32787, which features a Klein Tools bit ratchet, screwdriver handle with extending shaft, and an assortment of standard 1/4″ and precision hex screwdriver bits.

The tools are bundled inside a connectable ModBox case, which looks quite sturdy at least from the product images.
The price seems fair what you get – $50. If that’s too much, check out the smaller 20pc set below, which is the first one I saw.
This 20pc set, 32787S, gives you the same Klein bit ratchet, an extension bit holder, and an assortment of 1/4″ hex screwdriver bits. You also get a compact ModBox storage case.
Klein describes the bit ratchet as being a “low profile micro ratchet” – I think it looks like a good size. The set is priced at $25.
It took me a moment to realize that the 20pc set comes with impact-rated screwdriver bits, and so it’s not just a less expensive slimmed-down version of the larger 64pc set. I think they’re trying to make the case that you should buy both.

Another one there was a firestorm of coverage on youtube like the klein true grip. Everyone wanted this set and had to wait while people who got it directly from klein had it along with videos. I did get thoes other cases and they make decent parts containers for tool bags. The insert is removable as well.

Good to know. I haven’t seen any of it yet, these sets were new to me until last night.
Klein gave up on providing media support and so I only learn about their new tools from influencer hype or mostly Amazon and other retail listings.

It’s really just the Klein version of the Icon set that had also been a viral-new-release

But the Klein has impact rated bits, which definitely notches up the interest

Looks like they also have new bit cases. They look like they’re built more for organization and tool trays than packing as many bits in a case as possible. I feel like a person who already has bits but wants better organization would appreciate these cases with empty dividable trays

Did not find the info on Amazon so is it made overseas?
Stuart
It’s probably made overseas. I haven’t seen Klein launch any USA-made tools in a very long time, aside from limited editions for different holiday shopping seasons.

Part of the KNECT line, very nice little box sets
Stuart
These come in ModBox cases but the tools are NOT part of the Knect line.
CMF
You are correct…which is also why, when I put KNECT in the search box on websites, I don’t always see the set I was expecting.
Stuart
There are nearly 2 dozen Knect ModBox sets right now, and some are mixed with non-Knect components (such as impact screwdriver bits). It’s a mess to sort through.
The larger set here doesn’t seem to be anything, and the smaller one seems to be part of a ProFlex system that includes a whole lot of also non-Knect tool kits. Some look like they’re Knect, but don’t have any compatible handles or adapters.
It’s a bit of a confusing mess.

I like the larger kit.
If this goes on sale <$40, I’ll probably pick one up. Would be very giftable too.

This is more a small electronics setup vs a Toolcheck+ competitor.
John
Where can I buy just screwdriver itself and some bits ? It seems like I can not fond this type of screwdriver anywehre , only smaller or larger ones so sad
Stuart
It doesn’t look like you can. There are other brands that you can use with adapters.
