Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Performance with Klein Tools 44219 Replacement Hawkbill Blade Trio for 44218 by Shane Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor fit and finish

Overall this knife was disappointing. This is the first Klein tool I have purchased that has had fit and finish issues. The figure is sloppy, the centering of the blade has gone astray. The knife shaft is unpolished and shot-blasted. Makes for a very gritty action. Also, the knife is too thick. The enormous distance between the blades allowed the thickness to be reduced by 3/8 inch. Also, I'm not happy with the weight. It's a little clunky. I will keep it for myself but I will disassemble it, assemble the parts and polish it so it can be used. Also, after less than a day of use, the belt clip came loose. I'm sure I can fix it with a drop of Loctite. Maybe I'm expecting too much from such a cheap knife. However, since the blades were a glorified razor blade, I was expecting more detail.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Functionality
