Awesome tool, it's about time someone came out with a pocket driver with a spinner top for standard 1/4 hex 1 inch bits. Now I just need to find one! Thank you!
I picked one of these up over the weekend and I’ve been loving it so far. I’ve been trying to find something in this form factor with a Phillips 2 bit for years…
I had the awesome 4-1 version. Just fantastic design. Specially the ability to shroud the bit tip so as to protect pockets. BUT......my wife saw it one day, and she now keeps it. I miss it so much. 😪
Well. I just bought this like 4 hours ago and I'm picking it up tomorrow morning on my way into work. I guess now's a good time as any to watch a review lol
Looks like a winner in my book 👍. More functionality in the same space and not really thr ussal multi tool compromise. I was just at lowes today oh well and excuse to go back. By the way I was too tempted by the kobalt knipex pliers wrench/cobra combo for 15. So yea there's a reason for the price i was assembing flat pack furniture today and the pliers wrench has no finish left on the head and have physical deformation from clamping meh steel. It's not completely parallel so unless it's over an eighth of an inch thick it can't grip it and rattles alot. It was damaged by brass toilet bolts so in case you get the urge.
Kind of wished they had a longer shaft for the magnetic end instead of a stubby. It would give you more reach and your hand won’t get in the way of seeing what you’re trying to pickup.
@@2010jalvarez it would be nice, but the shorter screwdriver isn’t as useful though if they switched it. I’ve used it on my other one and it doesn’t work in a lot of situations. I see the magnet side more of a pocket protector, but it would be nice if it was longer
Let’s say that somehow you dropped a switch plate screw into an outlet box full of wires…you could always pull the shaft from the handle and just use that to snake between the wires… that would give you about a 3” - 3 1/2” reach. The handle really doesn’t need to be used in most pickup situations I’d imagine. Just my 2¢.
All right then, this appears to need a space in my PC Service bag, primarily on the merits of the magnets. As you've shown, the other ones may not have that, but positioning a small screw (like the ones used to mount SSDs) really needs a magnet.
@@OnusBones yeah that magnet and the 1/4” are the best features to me. The magnetic pick up aspect is ok.. I like it more just because it’s a storage mode for the pocket
Odd choice to go with a dedicated magnet on one side, having the 1/4" bit holder there and allowing you to store a bit in the shaft or an outside the box idea with like a 1/4" bit holder with a custom 1/4 magnetic pickup bit, just seems like a magnet is a pretty bold commitment to dedicate an entire side to
@TheDankFarmer they could have even did a 3.5mm magnet tip so you could use a magnet, or put a bit in that side Then that bit may pull out I guess.. if you put it on something really stufk
@@nachoisme Oh for sure, not saying its a bad tool - in fact I really enjoy the quality of Klein and I'm really glad they are taking risks and developing new ideas/combos for tools
@@MORGANSMaintenance Yeah a lot of other options I'd put on that side, but its still great to see the windfall of new tools they are putting out regardless
They should have had it where you can put the mini bits in either side and turned one of the bits slots into the Neodymium magnet. Well hoping that's what they do for gen2 of this
@@MORGANSMaintenance ya your right didn't think of that, so option 2- sell it with 2 extensions, 1 with a magnet on each side and 1 with bit option on each side. That would solve both problems
Looks very enticing. Do you have the 27-in-1 for comparison? iirc that's the Klein pocket driver I'd been considering for a year or so now, but haven't seen one in-store (not that I look very often.)
@@WhiteVaille the 27-1 is the one I keep in my bag. I like the bigger handle… but it’s definitely not a pocket option It was the bigger one in this video that also had magnetism and picked up the screw
@@darrenhays021 it was the KAIWEETS ES20 Kaiweets ES20 137 in 1 Cordless Electric Screwdriver / Lots of Pieces for the Price #tools #kaiweets ruclips.net/video/AvyrBiuy0bc/видео.html Bit I think they replaced that set with this one amzn.to/3OqUHrV
I was finally able to find one at Lowes and got it but… Upon pulling the bit storage it completely came out. It doesnt look broken but i question if it’s designed to come out 🤔. Anyone else experience this? Should i return it?
@@roamingcamera9362 I would think it’s better for them and Lowe’s. Someone who just goes into a plumbing section to find a part and then sees tools next to it is probably more likely to buy them. I’m talking average person, not someone in one of those fields. That’s who shops at Lowe’s more
@@GustyOinker All of them.. yessish, some of them 100%, some kinda. Just depends on what set/screwdriver you are pulling them from. The 27-1 looks like the same 100% Good Live question 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance Can you do a follow-up video showing how different 3.5mm shafts fit in the different drivers? I’ve been on the fence about buying any of these drivers because Klein doesn’t offer replacement bits.
I have the regular 4-1 precision and the cap doesn't even open. Despite this, it still fell off. So now, will the extra wear and tear provided by the bit carousel, I see this as a major fail point for all the mini klein drivers.
I haven’t had it happen to mine, but I don’t use mine like gangbusters. It’s a few small screws here/there tool. The bit carousels have been a problem for a lot of people though
The housing on my pocket HVAC model cracked, and the shaft falls out any time I use the Schrader bit. I mainly use it for thermostats and Schrader cores, so I don't know how it failed, but it's still the best of it's kind I think.
I doubt it. I’m pretty sure Klein uses 3.5mm as their size for precision bits and pretty much everyone else uses 4mm. It should work with any other Klein precisionbits though
@@nachoisme I assumed he was talking about some double sided Wiha that are 1/4” shafts… but he may have been talking about the 4mm. I know they don’t work
Pentalobe looks more like Torx but with 5 arms instead of 6. Penta is the ancient Greek number 5, you've probably heard of the Pentagon which has 5 sides. The bit you had there was Tri-lobe (Tri being ancient Greek for 3, also seen in the word triangle which has 3 sides). In theory you could call Torx 'hexalobe' as it has 6 arms (and a hexagon has 6 sides). I hope this doesn't come across as patronising, its not meant to be 👍 Edit: If you really want to annoy people you could refer to Phillips as tetralobe 😜 Edit again: If anyone was wondering why Apple use pentalobe when we already have Torx, its for exactly the same reason Klein makes 3.5mm precision bits when we already have 4mm...
@@MORGANSMaintenance You're welcome, and TBF I'd have to google to find out who actually uses tri-lobe! (or I'll ask around at the next party I'm invited to 😉)

@@johnscott7089 that’s the same way it was at mine… so I ordered them and shipped to my house. The day after I got them in the mail, they were out on the shelves 😂
Have the Milwaukee and Klein, Team red is better cause the pocket lean jams, doesn't screw with the pocket protector. Give this newer OEM a few years and it'll be great!
@@brianreinhardt4050 it will fit in most pockets if you have the magnet out… not if you have the shaft with the bit. It’s the same size as my other one that I keep in my vest pocket
@@MORGANSMaintenance I carry the 32614 and carry it in my shirt pocket with my flashlight and marker. The reason I do is because I flip the shorty side of the driver out so it doesn't poke holes in my pockets. And otherwise it sticks out too far and gets caught on stuff. It's a good idea though.
