The newish Klein Tools limited edition Blackout tools at Lowe’s have started to sell out, at least at the stores in my area.
I still have yet to be able to find these at any Lowe’s stores, but luckily they’ve been available online.
This year’s collection of all-black tools features a Klein multi-bit screwdriver (32500BLK), wire stripper (K11095BLK), folding utility knife (44303BLK), and 2pc Phillips and slotted screwdriver set (85442BLK).

Lowe’s priced all of the tools inline with the regular non-limited edition tools, and in some cases you save a little money by going with the special dark colorway.
My stores didn’t have any in the tool deals and gifts sections, the electrical hand tool aisle, the pro specials section, or anywhere in between. I ordered the utility knife online, and Lowe’s delivered it quickly.
I noticed that online inventory is starting to dwindle. If you were meaning to get your hands on one or more of these Klein tools, hurry up.
Maybe next year they’ll have blacked-out versions of ModBox tool boxes.

Why would I buy tools that will be even harder to find when I set them down somewhere?

Explains a lot doesn’t it. But you know if it keeps them in business I guess it’s ok.
Question are any of the blackout items made in USA?

Yea I’ve said it before on posts about these and I’ll say it again. I don’t get the obsession with all blacked out tools. I get tool storage if you are trying to keep wandering eyes at bay a bit, but the actual tools themselves? I need to see those when I set them down or drop them!

I don’t know if the wire strippers are made in the U.S.A., but there is a flag etched on it. It’s subtle and looks good. Actually, the tools all look good, but I don’t think I’d buy any tool in solid black.
