This is my favorite tool I've ever used and worth every penny. Paid 17 at home depot for it and it's great for getting underneath trigger guards to take out screws. And after using it for regular screw tightening, I don't want to use anything else. Add in the 1/4 inch adapter and this thing does a ton of stuff for an amazing amount of money. Not to mention klein will always take returns, no questions asked
Ben, how could you NOT test the leatherman bits and extension with this guy on camera?!?! For the love of God, please do a follow-up. You totally teased us when you were poking the extension around the magnet and left us hanging.
the leatherman bits are a standard 1/4 hex double ended bit with two faces cut down to 1/8 inch thickness. any 1/4 hex tool made to fit standard double ended bits will take the leatherman bits. single ended hex tools with a strong retention system will work with the bit driver. there's a universal answer for you, applies for everything from SOG multitools to mini ratchets.
My Lowe’s just started carrying Klein Tools again and as soon as I saw that tool, I put the Craftsman one back and bought the Klein. Thanks for showing me how it works!
This is a sweet little ratchet. The combo of the finger loop, thumb wheel, and the low profile make it a unique tool. I keep mine in a Leatherman sheath, which isn’t perfect but I had handy.
After several of your honest trials (hate reviews) you got my subscript, I've got one of these in a wishlist at both the "jungle" store and HD. And by the way, the jungle store has several of the empty plastic built holders some that hold a bunch. Picked up one pack of those a while back because they come packaged that way, 'cause like everyone else, you end up with stray bits everywhere, For this, I'll build my own bit kit! Thanks for "sealing the deal.
I only wish that there were someway to attach the bit set to the main tool? Because with the way that it is, I could totally see myself losing the set of bits or misplacing them and being left with just the main tool.
Great little ratchet, small enough to get in tight spots and big enough tooth count to work in those small spaces. That finger ring is a great idea for this application as well. Thanks for the look see.
You didn’t test out the 5/16” side of the ratchet but I’m about to test it out on mine now so no worries. I was watching your video because I couldn’t figure out how to get the bits in or which side because as yours had a plastic clip in the 1/4” side mine had a rubber type thing that wasn’t really visible so I figured that I’m had to pull it out so now it’s working fine but still a good video. 🙏
$14. 97 on Amazon 7/16/2022. Bought one 2 days ago at that price. It does seem like a handy little tool. I do have a few other bits that I keep with it.
I bought this recently, nice little tool. I even pulled it apart just to see the quality of the internals, and because I like a challenge, a bit fiddly putting things back toggether, but it was an adventure ;) alltogether it breaks down into 5 pieces, with the smallest of springs and pin I've ever seen, needed tweezers to put it back together.
You should take a look at the harbor freight bit kit it’s been very popular and selling out fast it has a little bit of everything i enjoy it a lot myself. It’s called the ICON Locking Flex Head Ratchet and Bit Set, 35 Pc. - Item 58074
I picked up one of these kits a few months back and adjusted the bit load to suit my needs a little better… Then added a small 1/4” Makita impact socket set… And my Wera BitCheck kit has been gathering dust ever since.
Should have had a snap ring of some sort or magnet attached to bottom of tip holder to keep wrench and bits together when not in use, storage. The bits and will easily get separated, lost in time, or I don't want to have to dig to bottom of tool bag, or tool box Personally, this tool is just another novelty "gift" item for that under $20 from China that might get used once or twice, then disappear into oblivion.

Thx for review. I have the Klein electrician scissors which r amazing. It looks legit, just wanted to know what people that actually used it.

I'm loving this...need to check it out!
Just bought this as a kit on clearance for 20 bucks at the depot. Ratchet, 8 in 1 stubby and a fine screwdriver. Worth $40.

Find someone with a 3d printer and get them to create a little clip, or an elastic band might work?
Find a small belt pouch to hold the ratchet and more bits, that's what I would do.
I keep mine in a Leatherman sheath. It’s not perfect but it works and keeps it all together.

Thank you for the video. I could not even get the damn thing open. I was about to take it back.
Looks well designed minus tabs to lock in the bit set when not in use.
I have one of these that I keep in my pocket for work to get into tight space. (Appliance repair)
It’s super handy for appliances.
Still looking for one that is only as thick as the bit seat is tall.

P.S. It does take leatherman bits no problem, so you can include it in the leatherman pouch with the leatherman flat bits.
I almost bought this several times. I have the mini wera set w ratchet that has been pretty good so far.
Love this tool. Carry it in my service bag with a 3/8” adapter on it
This looks great for those of us with finger joint and mobility issues.
Comparison video request:
Klein mini ratchet vs Wera Mini ratchet vs Petracycle Pro T-Handle vs Fix It Sticks 🙏🏼
Will your Leatherman extension fit?
Yes, perfectly. I apologize for not showing that.
@@txtoolcrib such a tease not showing it.
EDC screwdriver option?
Very tempted to get one of these
Thank you for the recommendation.
thanks Ben
Is there a certain # of teeth per degree of arc, i.e. 14 approximately?
It’s a 72 tooth ratchet with 5° swing
360 ( degrees ) divided by 72 ( ratchet teeth ) = 5 ( degrees ). 2/23
This think looks prime to swing off a carabiner on a belt loop. Sold!
$13 at Lowe’s rn !!
Some of the best money I’ve ever spent
Any stockists in the UK? I'd buy one.
The tooth count should have been on the package..
Great if electrician will come in handy use it all the time
The name Klein means small in Dutch.
And it's small.
I always liked Klein tools.
Ordered
I think you’ll like it

Correct it’s a bad ass little kit worth the purchase
This ICON set runs circles around this Klein tool. The T-handle option is so cool

@@pdillenburg I’ve been slowly upgrading the bits that came in the case with higher end bits and it never leaves my side works amazing
Nice
