I have this set and it is definitely a give and take. The play you mentioned is something to consider but not a deal breaker. As an ultra minimal EDC, it works great due to its size and overall utility. These stubbies also have a tendency of breaking a lot where the bit holder drum connects to the handle. Since this is a newer Klien version of their previous stubby, time will tell how durable it is. Good review through.
I love all my klein stubbies. I have 1 in the kitchen drawer, my wife's car, my car, and my tool box. The fact the extentention drops into the handle all the way (if the sockets are removed) makes it a great compact tool with other capabilities.
I have the Chrome ratchet 1/4" bit and 5/16 on the flip side . I use mine for very tight places . And a stubby multi bit screw driver . A great combination to have . If your looking for allen bits look at Milwaukee metric and STND shockwave great bits .
I have the wiha set. The main issue with the ratchet is the lever constantly gets hit, and switched over, forcing me to stop. However, the reason I prefer it over your system is the versatility in bits. The hex and torx bits come in handy especially when I'm putting together furniture. My next purchase is probably going to be the icon ratchet and bit set which has been getting very good reviews.
@@kaosraynz5265 Ah, man. I just bought the icon set. I should have waited but it's ok because I have the Klein 7&1 but driver which covers most of what I would need sockets for.
That little Klein ratchet is a beast around the house. Its low-profile so it's good for drawer pulls and doorknobs. I like Klein a lot.
@@littlejimmy7402 I bet man. Definitely have been liking it also

@@nhbountyhunter pretty smart having them all over
I very deep into the Klein Ecosystem and you have made a great purchase brother A great video brother. Happy holiday's to you and your family.
@@paulmarsdensr1095 thanks I appreciate it. You as well
I like how you used it a few days before doing the video. You don't see that to much.
I like the watch 😂
@@supersonik76 thanks!
I'm thinking about getting these for my Leatherman. As no one can get there hands on the OEM Leatherman ratchet bit.
Is the magnet on the wiha strong enough to hold the screw or does it only hold the bit?

@@aaronmcclain1279 I’ll definitely check them out.
That would be a perfect kit IF the handle bit holder could take regular size bits and not Klein's shorter ones.
@@iangregoryhome oh yeah would be nice I agree.

The icon set has an updated version coming out that has sockets included. Case is a bit bigger/heavier than wiha but a great set to have.

@@kaosraynz5265 hi, where did you see the updated version ? was it at sema?
@@A4rings110 yeah it was a video from The Garage Hub for SEMA 2023. 6:40 mark
@@A4rings110 yes it was a SEMA 2023 video from The Garage Hub. Check the 06:40 mark.
If they made their screwdrivers in USA they wouldn't have that slight play
@@mcluvin28x I agree
Land the plane already! Didn’t cover the bit attachment
