About Manufacturer
Klein Tools is the result of one of those “happy accidents” that turn out to be revolutionary. Klein Tools famously got their start in 1857 when a linesman came to founder Matthias Klein to repair his broken pliers. Klein replaced the broken half and when the old half of the tool broke too, Klein forged a replacement for that, thus making the first Klein Linesman pliers. Since these humble beginnings, Klein Tools has grown and become one of the largest American made toolmakers and they’re a brand used by tradesmen, linesman and electricians all across America.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 7 reviews.
This is an indispensable tool for anyone who regularly traces electrical circuits. It saves a significant amount of time and eliminates the frustration of tracking circuits through attics, electrical panels, and other difficult locations. It's one of the best troubleshooting tools I've ever purchased and has quickly become an essential part of my toolkit.
This tool works exceptionally well. I was able to trace a dead wire to a faulty switch hidden behind drywall and ceramic tile with ease. Learning how it operates took longer than actually finding the problem, but once you understand the basic principles, it's incredibly effective. It allows you to trace inactive wires through walls and other building materials, making troubleshooting much faster and easier. It ultimately saved me the cost of calling an electrician just to locate the faulty switch. Highly recommended.
Great pass through connectors that make Ethernet cable installation much easier. The wires are simple to align and crimp, with no need to pre trim them to the same length. They save time, deliver clean results, and provide a secure, reliable connection. Highly recommended!
If you need to trace a network cable without disconnecting it from the switch, this kit is an excellent choice. The digital tracing capability provides that added flexibility and makes troubleshooting much more convenient. If you only need basic cable tracing, the analog toner kit may be a more cost effective option. As expected from Klein, the build quality is solid and dependable, and I continue to trust their products for professional use.
This case offers excellent protection for electronic equipment, keeping it safe from bumps and shocks during transport. It's sturdy, well built, and a great choice for everyday work use. Highly recommended!
This case fits the toner perfectly and provides solid protection with its durable hard shell design. It's well made, reliable, and a great value. I would definitely buy it again.
This hard case fits my Klein clamp meter perfectly and provides excellent protection during storage and transport. It's sturdy, well made, and gives me peace of mind knowing my tool is safe. Highly recommended!
