Klein KNECT Socket Sets - 65300 and 65400

It's a great time to be Lowe's and a bad time to be my wallet! These sets are awesome and the whole KNECT system I think will be a great way to condense your tool bag. Check it out!

Klein tools are the business. I'm all in. I I bought the 65300 set on Amazon, and I'm stoked. A great video, brother. Happy Father's Day.

Retired electrician here. Wow it would’ve been nice to have those 40 years ago‼️

[@JonathanLD312]

What a time to be a young electrician!

[@dcrickerson7611]

"Unwired" Nice name for a retired electrician. I'm also a retired industrial electrician, retired 12 years ago and I'm 74, still using my tools. Still buy tools as well. These Klein sockets are pretty cool.

[@fvahamonde]

Would have been nice 20 years ago! 😂 I used to build quick connect screw drivers with the handles from Klien 6 in 1s. I'm glad to see Klein innovate.

[@tationut]

i don’t understand why younger people don’t go in to the trades we have so many tools to make jobs easier

[@reconbbs360]

As a mechanic who works on Brunswick pinsetters from the 1950's which is 100% SAE......Klein's about to get my money.

[@EndrChe]

Thanks for the review. Klein seem to be the only ones addressing the market for techs et al that need tough, lightweight, tools that can travel and don’t take up much space. Going to give these a shot.

[@paulspielman2517]

Thanks. The tools are multiple times described as"Sick" . .too bad. . hope they get well soon

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

You convinced me. Just ordered both sets on Lowe's website. I've been looking for a compact socket set for my main tool bag for a while now, and these look like they'll fit nicely.

[@JC_1095]

I always appreciate good content on interesting tools in general, regardless of the brand. So thank you for these klein videos. i was already a big fan of their impact screwdrivers, but this is the first time I’ve seen these socket sets. I’m strongly considering getting them now.

[@JonathanLD312]

Glad I could show it to you!

[@kevindobbins-callahan4995]

Thank you for that! I’m going to have to pick one up for all my unistruit builds

[@2121contreras]

Those sets are impressive. Klein really stepping up here with this offering. A lot of features especially when you add in the 11 in 1 or impact I d say Klein has got a winner with these sets.

[@weldingjunkie]

Yeah besides no metric lol

[@YLZN0013]

Great video! Thanks for showing what’s out there, this is a gotta have!

[@daviddobson6108]

Thanks you for a helpful and interesting presentation. It really helps to know the options with Klein tools.

Klein content is good, keep at it please! Thanks!

[@nccv121]

Just bought the 65400 at lowes today, they're finally available!

[@edgarrodriguez-xs5wv]

Craftsman had a pass thru set from smallest up to 3/4 and Metric up to 19, no skips , it came with screwdriver too, I'm going to ad the impact adapter thats the only "new" tool. Wish it had a 3/8 adapter to use these sockets with milwaukee impact! GOOD VID!

[@joeytucker341]

These look like a very similar design to the old GearRatchet tools from about 20 years ago, with some nice improvements. I’ve missed them ever since they stopped making them, they made one of the most complete and useful tools sets I’ve ever seen, and used sets are getting harder to find. This is not exactly a brand new concept, but I am very glad another company has picked up the design again and is carrying it forward.

[@jasonpeddicord3219]

Bought several sets of the gear wrench set of both metric and standard sets on closeout at a local farm store. Gave both my boys a set at Christmas that year. We are all still using them.

[@lonniehargrave9381]

Waiting, want these for the snowmobile and motorcycle repair kit. Need metric. This will cut down on tools and be able to do major repairs. Thanks for the review.

[@tomturbuckle0076]

Keep the klein videos coming.

Nice set . Can’t wait for the metric set .

Its dropping soon!

[@nccv121]

​@@five6aceinyaface Is it? I've been looking for it everywhere

[@five6aceinyaface]

These aren't even on kleins actual website yet. I cant seem to find the 11 in 1 impact rated ratchet anywhere, yet it's all over my feed!!

[@mich5167]

Love these sets but i do wish they were a little cheaper 50 is high for the small set…

[@ChrisK-1969]

Thanks for the video. These are cool sets. Right after I saw the video yesterday I went online and saw the same thing that the other guy did that they don’t show the 3/8” set but they did show 2 of the 1/4” sets at the closest Lowe’s to me. So I drive 20 minutes get to the store, they can’t find them. I leave call another store that is about 30 minutes from me that shows they have 3. The guy looks all over can’t find them. He takes my number in case they come in. I figure I will just order it online. I get home the guy calls he found them. So long story short I got the 1/4” set still looking for 3/8”.

[@JonathanLD312]

Yeah I just ordered both. Hopefully the 3/8 set will come back in stock

[@shelbyburkhart3931]

I drilled a hole through my racheting screwdriver to make it a full pass through.... It will probably gunk up the racheting mechanism but we'll see... Also id like to see the sockets have the built in magnet but they don't

[@lunytoo]

There is now a recall on KNECT 65400

[@rickoneill4343]

Wish they made metric and complete sets. I know their focus is electric but I would use it as a mechanic for light jobs all day long.

[@JonathanLD312]

I thought the same thing. A metric set would be a great addition.

You should also be able to slip the extensions in the screwdriver handle then slip the screwdriver in the extension in the event that you really need a couple extra inches of reach.

[@JonathanLD312]

I did try that, but the middle adapter won't go into the extension. You could use the 1/4 socket on the extension with one of the screwdriver halves to get more reach though.

[@sicsempertyrannis9224]

Craftsman has had the pass through sockets nearly 20 years ago.

[@gustavomacall4997]

Don't quit on the klein videos now there's new tools coming out .

[@michaelmartin2262]

Where was this a year ago!? I wound up having to research and buy 3 different products from different brands to put together a set that takes up 3 times the amount of space as this does, and isn't something you can easily carry around. This is exactly what I was looking for a year ago! Now Klein needs to make the Cresent wrench with the other end a pass thru socket to go with it!!! I wonder is my Crescent would fit the larger set.

[@JonathanLD312]

The medium set uses a 5/8 12 point with a retaining ring. If your crescent wrench has that maybe it'll work.

[@Emendez811]

Does the bigger set also fit the ratcheting 11 n 1?

[@wim0104]

a proper alan key or nut driver set will be a lot slender and get into tight places

[@tooladdict60]

Is the 20 in 1 part of the knect ?

[@five6aceinyaface]

If yall are looking, you need to call local distributors that sell klein. And special order the 65400.

[@nachoisme]

I wish they did this exact setup with a flex head ratchet 🤷‍♂️ almost perfect but still pretty sweet

[@JonathanLD312]

Might be something coming in the future. I think a metric set would be nice too.

[@three-phase562]

Bacho do the S140T and S530 pass through socket sets that have a flex head, but they aren't impact rated. Would be interesting if they have the same fit though and go in the screwdriver handle.

[@nachoisme]

@@three-phase562I will have to check that out. I ended up getting a gearwrench 3/8 set. Only used it a couple times but it’s solid but still not flexhead. Nice to have that option it I’m in a some gear or a panel that is a little funky

[@three-phase562]

@@nachoisme In 3/8 pass through drive Gearwrench do make a wrench with a flexible head, the wrench on its own is part number 893800. I just looked at my Bahco set this morning and it is a hexagon drive with retaining detents, so doesn't look to be compatible with either Gearwrench or the Klein in this video.

what about the bits with the (sleeves) that hold the bits, the phillips , 5/16, 3/8 ect... just use the bit that i have missing in my original 11 in 1 nut driver

[@afterburnerrc6333]

Great looking tool set but who are they targeting as the world has moved on to metric?

[@NorthTXMountainbiker]

I have a craftsman set that does the same thing, and I got that ten plus years ago. This isn't new. I rarely use it...sort of an impulse buy that I really don't ever need.

Where can i get that screwdriver ?

Did the 65400 get recalled? I tried buying this at my local Lowe’s and they wouldn’t let me purchase it…

Not in Canada yet

Everyone complaining about it not being available in metric. I'm more upset that its not available in Canada! Since lowes up and left the Canadian market and Rona doesn't carry Klein... guess I need to make a trip across the border.

[@john0270]

Are they going to ever come out with revolutionary metric socket sets??? 😂😂😂 maybe OK for a tool kit for my harley, and 66 ford custom 500

[@isaiahtorrez7611]

Hey man can I pay you to buy that other set from you I can’t find it anywhere

[@ryd137]

would the 11 in 1 impact ratchet shaft fit in the standard 11 in 1 impact driver? i have the original impact 11 in 1 but its missing some bits so i was thinking of buying the ratcheting 11 in 1 and using the handle just for the the socket set and using the ratcheting impacts 11 in 1 ahaft to put in my original 11 in 1 .. thanks much

[@JonathanLD312]

The bits and nut drivers will work but the center piece is different. It will fit in but the retention mechanism is a different design so it won't hold in the handle.

[@weldingjunkie]

That was made that way obviously but you aren’t busting bigger than 3/8 anyway

[@jeffwolf8018]

That back drag seems pretty excessive from the looks of you turning them by hand. In the last 2 weeks I just got a 1/4 inch Koken ratchet. Due to the fact of their extremely low back drag and I was completely taken back by how little back drag they have. And it was only $32. It did take a little while to get here from Japan. But that little weight is well worth it for the back drag it has. Something tells me I'm not going to use any of my other 1/4 inch ratchets which include Craftsman, Easco and Bacho.(this one is somewhat newer and I was very disappointed with the hardback dragon has it is almost the same as my Craftsman and it's supposed to have the same guts as a Snap-On, something does not add up right??

[@NathanShepard]

Wish I could find a meteric version.

[@Owen-xw8cs]

Not bad

[@ahill209]

After watching several reviews of these Knect kits, I purchased the smaller set from Lowe's. The 12 point insert on the ratcheting handle was loose and would not stay secure in the handle, so I returned it and the new set is fine. I like how it integrates with the 11-in-1 ratcheting screwdriver. The selection of bits is great. I wish they would make a version with metric sockets and hex head bits, though. From a pure screwdriver perspective, I still like my Chapman Master Set.

[@williamfrye552]

It's sad there not made in the USA

Man SAE is so hard when you’re used to metric. I can’t visualise 9/32 lol. I can barely visualise 1/32, let alone guess how big 9/32 would be. I can remember close to what size it is by memory, but 7/64 would make zero sense to me if I’d never seen that bit before.

Klein makes some decent hand tools and I have many, but these miss the mark for me. They are not compatible with the other pass thru sets out there (Grearwrench, Crescent, etc.), especially if you desire metric sockets.
