You’re the first person whose video offered an explanation and benefit to Klein’s decision to use 3.5mm bits, instead of 4mm. It makes sense, and probably tips me over the edge on buying this set!
I recently picked up this set and have used it a few times already at work and at home. I think I made a good purchase. I quickly had an issue with the black rubber sleeve on the handle. It slid when I put too much pressure on the screwdriver while trying to remove a stripped screw. My fix was to roll back each end of the rubber sleeve and put 3M Weatherstrip and Gasket adhesive on the handle and then roll the sleeve back over it. Works good so far. Time will tell if it holds. Thanks for your video
Swing and a miss… by only half a millimeter at that. The industry standard is 4mm for precision sets… So of course Klein went 3.5 mm. I’m making a tray (3D printing) for a modified 8 in 1 stubby (has the flippable socket on the end) and the bits from the set you showed (mine is iFixIt but it’s the same set). That set has a 1/4 inch spline to 4mm adapter. Cut it down using an angle grinder and you can fit it in the back of the stubby for storage. All I need to do is remove the tray from a small Klein ModBox and with my 3D printed insert I have an industry standard 4mm set with the stubby as the driver.
I don't think the magnetic adaptor is intended to be used on a magnetic 1/4 inch driver but is instead designed for a DIN 3126/ISO 1173 - C 6.3, or a style C, also called 7013 z type driver. It should work great with a Hazet 810r driver or any locking driver designed for type C bits. The "tell" is the little notches on the adaptor seen at 7:09 in this video. I will test this as soon as my set comes in.
I can confirm that the adaptor does indeed work great with the Hazet 810r which uses the type c driver. I also found that it doesn't completely lock into my Dewalt electric screwdriver or my Milwaukee m12 driver.
thanks for the video…honestly think VIM makes the best bit set on the market FRBS89 but this is great for mod box compatibility and its smaller…that set would be a great review btw if you haven’t already done it
Good review... thx. I have purchased several of these new Klein ModBox kits. Unfortunately as a whole they tend to be a bit pricey. This one in particular is. I'm not sure I'd pay $50 for it. Maybe ~ $29, or even $39 but over $40 I'd probably pass on it.
The precision bits are complete garbage my screwdriver set every one of them seem to be poorly heat treated. Everyone of them I have used have deformed they are just way to soft.
@@projectpinehills wera bits always done me well I liked the Klein set for knives. The first time I used the bits they twisted like a noodle. I’ve broken wera bits but never twisted one

Yes the 3.5mm question kept me from buying their other precision sets for a while. Having adapters helps with that concern. Thanks for watching! 👍
Klein is going hard af lately and I’m here for it
Thanks for watching! 👍
wow, nice set. Way better than the two precision sets i currently have. And it is modbox
Yeah way better than my old sets too. Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks for showing one upside to the 3.5mm. I couldn’t come up with one.
Thank you. I think adapters to 3.5mm and 4mm help as well. Thanks for watching! 👍
Just got this set and it’s great!! Watched your video a while back and waited for it to go on sale lol.
Good deal. There have been some good sale prices lately.
I have the 27 in 1 tool and it is fantastic, laptops, phones, electronics, cars, network gear.
Thanks for posting, appreciate the feedback. 👍

Thanks for the feedback. Surprised on the handle grip issue. Thanks for watching!
I don't currently own a precision bit set. It looks as if the Klein 32787 set will be my next purchase. Thanks for an informative video.
Thanks, good choice for a first set. Thanks for watching!
This would be great for working on RC cars
That would be a great application. Thanks for watching! 👍
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Almost. They need to put out a set with metric nut drivers. Then I'm 100% sold.
@swissfreek good point!
@@swissfreek Totally agree it would be useful if they had Metric

That’s a great way to use the Stubby. Thanks for watching! 👍
This is painfully tempting. I just held off from buying this set last night. I don't know if I can hold off much longer...
Ha, it’s a good set. I just used it to open some electronics recently. The drive was narrow enough to fit. Thanks for watching!
🙏❤️ Love from Scotland ❤️🙏
Thanks from America 🇺🇸!
I hope they fix the magnet issue with the bits falling out, IDK which to buy this weekend the 10 pc. Flip Socket or this precision set 🤔🤔
Thanks for watching! 👍

I also think the adaptor is ment for the ratchet not the driver. The driver does not need the adaptor because it has the 3.5 shank.

I’m going to check out that VIM set. The Klein is compact. Thanks for watching! 👍

Thanks! I’ve seen these new modbox’s going sale. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
I wish they would’ve had before I bought their other precision set.
Yeah I do prefer this set over the other one. Thanks for watching!
From Europe... if those sockets were metric this would be ideal. I wonder if it's worth swapping them out
That would be a nice option. Thanks for watching!
Just get this and the 3/8 passthrough. There is no point getting the 1/4 passthrough or the new screwdriver.

What brand have you used in the past? I’ve had that concern before to only realize I was using the wrong bit.
