The HVAC specialist's best friend.

HVAC MUST HAVE! Klein has shown HVAC professionals some serious love for it! Locking Screwdrivers 1/4 and 5/16. Standard size flat head and Philips. Flat thermostatic head and corer. Lightweight tool bag makes work more efficient.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • So far so good

How damn comfortable! - Power tools and hand tools

This item is amazing! Couldn't find it locally so ordered it from Amazon. The slide's magnetic drive saves the life of the annoying flame detectors. The t-stat/core tool bit driver is pretty handy too. After showing it to the local Granger, they ordered several copies from their showroom. Every HVAC technician should own one or two.

Pros
  • practical item

Better than 11 in 1.

When I was in HVAC training I was told to make 11 in 1. After graduating from high school and working with an apprentice, he had these 8 in one. This thing was a game changer for me. It's always in my pocket and I don't have to take out any parts to access the 1/4 and 5/16 wrenches, which are the most commonly used sizes.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • No instructions

My favorite tool goes with hand tools

I do commercial HVAC/R for a living and this is by far my favorite tool. The fast 1/4 and 5/16 driver is just great. Also, unlike the traditional 11-in-1, it doesn't punch holes in your pocket as every DIYer I know puts screwdrivers in their back pocket, especially when working on stairs. I have bought 3 so far because I lost 2. This must be for HVAC.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • The list will go on.

The best you can get with an extra update!

This is the best screwdriver you can get, the quality is amazing if you have small tools you know the difference. Check out the photos to see the beats you get. I did what one of the other reviewers said and paired it with a ratchet driver, what a nice upgrade. Just a couple of caveats, firstly if you put a ratchet on it it will be a lot heavier and bulkier, secondly the ratchet is made in China while the HVAC drive is made in the USA. Finally, the cost of buying two drivers.

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Great little tool. - Screwdrivers and Wrenches

This is a great tool for anyone working in the HVAC field. It is very convenient to have a magnetic hex 5/16 and 1/4. The tool for removing the valve insert is also very practical. The other end of the coring tool is a thermostatic flathead screwdriver. Phillips and flathead bits work with any switch or contactor that I've had to change or tighten connections on. There is also a 3/8 screwdriver if you remove the socket to install the attachments. Made of good steel and fairly rust resistant…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • So-so

The perfect HVAC tool!

This is truly the best tool ever offered to HVAC professionals. As the inventor of the original "Shooting Operator" I was always convinced that no one could ever improve on it. Having sold it to Klein Tools a few years ago, I just hoped they would "make me proud". Well they did. This 8-in-1 HVAC slide operator is the perfect tool for air conditioning technicians. Of course it has a 5/16" and a 1/4" slide. Flip the shaft inside the handle, remove the screwdriver assembly and a 3/8" wrench will…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long lead time
