🔧 Klein Tools Magnetic Double Hook: The Ultimate Test, Measure & Inspect Device Review

Its light weight sure has a strong magnet, non-conductive body except for the metal belt clip and of course the metal blade and tip Roulette. A bright orange primary color with a black secondary contrast to be highly visible even in low light. I've had this for 6 months and have fallen from 6ft to 20ft a few times and it hasn't broken yet. The only drawback is that the Klinetape tape measure blade twists more easily than the FaxMaxx scale I otherwise use.

The first one I bought was defective because the rear scale was almost 1/16 inch off the front. I consulted with Klein, they said it should be returned. The replacement is accurate but the return spring is quite weak. The latch tongue even feels a little loose or cheap. But it seems to be holding up well. Otherwise it is the most functional band I have, with scaling on both sides, double hook, magnet and blade brake function on the bottom. This is by no means a cheap band (cost wise) so it's a…

I often install ceiling lights such as recessed or surface mounted. Often on stairs I want to measure against a wall or ceiling molding so I saw on YouTube that this had the longest outstanding result. Big! I agree it's only 16 feet long as long as I can stand it. The problem, however, is that because it's bent, if you turn it sideways, it flops even worse than a cheap tape measure. Reverse is completely useless. 3 stars is tough, but they advertise it as outstanding more than anything, so I…

I haven't had enough of this tape to speak of its durability but it has the best features I've found in a tape measure. My favorite features: 1) Nylon coated double sided tape with big numbers. 2) A large protrusion grasping the bottom and top and sometimes the sides. 3) Brake pedal down to slow down the webbing while winding. or to temporarily hold it in place when pulled out 4) A magnetic tip that I plan to use as a makeshift magnetic sensor if needed 5) Great result. I can get 10 feet. In…

I have used tape measures for many years. I started out with cheap stuff (and cheap stuff is good for the house if you only use it twice a year), but cheap stuff just slows down and forms sharp edges for short periods of time. So I bought a Dewalt and a Milwaukee and they're great but they might last a year. A friend recommended Klein Tools to me. I mean who is Klein. Never heard of it. Can't be too good, can it? Dude, I'm glad I found this. I've had mine for 2.5 years now and every new…

I've bought 2 of these so far. The magnet on the first one fell out because I was rough with the end when it got stuck one day and I just pulled it really hard. The second one held up very well as I now know not to let it sink in too hard or be silly with it. The magnet isn't super strong, which I like because it doesn't stick to everything easily. It actually sticks pretty well to whatever you put it on without flying off on its own, which is because the magnet is slightly recessed and doesn't
