Highly Recommended - Hand Tool

Love these full size screwdrivers. I have two of these sets and have owned them for many years. The rubberized handles are very comfortable. I even buy them as gifts for family and friends. What guy wouldn't be thrilled to have a set of these babes in his toolbox?! I also recommend the Klein Cordura Ballistic Tool Bag (5139B) to keep all your Klein screwdrivers together. This is a great way to keep all your screwdrivers together.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Faulty

Poorly shaped handles

About half of the screwdrivers in the set have received both my original order and a replacement set with a blade that is not parallel to the handle. As if the handles were formed diagonally around the blades. I've been using Klein for many years and this is the first time I've had a quality control issue. Spoke to Klein and they said it's not typical at all but the replacement kit has the same issue. I wonder if it's gray market, second class or fake?

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • There are new competitors

The right tool for the job

Excellent small tool kit. I have this set to keep on my desk instead of having to take the tool belt off the truck for all those little quick repair jobs you do at home. Can't beat Klein's tools, have used them for years and have never complained about any of mine. They cost a little more for that. How valuable is YOUR time when a tool breaks while you're at work and then you damage what you're working on because the screwdriver slipped off the head of a screw you just removed with a cheap…

An example of what "Made in the USA " should mean!

Slightly more expensive than other sets but well worth the money. Screwdriver tips are actually pressed into the handles, not pressed. All tips are also well trimmed to really hold the screw. This is a HUGE benefit when working with pan head machine screws. The driver won't slip out every time you move your hand to turn the knob. The handles are very 'grippy' for lack of a better term, and the label at the end of each tool is handy. These were my first Klein tools and I will definitely be…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Minor issues

The Klein tool never let me down

My old snap-on screwdrivers are worn out. The tips seemed much softer than the others and I was disappointed. Returned to Klein. They have been making screwdrivers of this shape and style for as long as I can remember. Almost indestructible. Well finished tips that appear to be hardened. Language (no pompous, convex shapes and soft rubber inserts), just an old reliable standard. Hard plastic covered with durable black rubber with ribs. Will give these to my sons one day as I expect them to last

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some little things

Klein effortlessly makes some of the best tools

Klein effortlessly makes some of the best tools. I love these screwdrivers and have been using them at work for years so I decided to buy my own set. However, when I unpacked them, both short screwdrivers were flat. I contacted Klein and I have no doubt they will fix it. Just make sure to always check what you're getting from a seller. Remember these are people packing tools and everyone makes mistakes. Update 11/24/16: Klein support contacted me. They send me a suitable screwdriver to fully…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some problems

Good, secure grip for hand tools

I bought this 85078 and 11 in 1 set together from Revain. I keep both screwdrivers side by side in a drawer, but when I have to choose a screwdriver I always use this set instead of 11 in 1. The handle is very comfortable to hold and applies torque. I wish the 11 in 1 grip had the same rubber material as the 85078 set and in use the 11 in 1 grip feels different than this set. Aside from the 85078, the 11-in-1 handle is pretty good compared to the old multi-point screwdriver it replaced. Another

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
