🔧 Klein Tools JTH6M3 Journeyman T-Handle Review

I bought this tool for a compact circular saw. The T-handle is comfortable and fits my hand very well. Also, the T-handle helps me safely loosen/tighten the knot that holds the blade to the saw.

I don't need or want to pay for the whole set. But why such an inexplicable difference…
