Just as I'm getting hip to Tough Built Tools,
Klein shows up and banishes them from all the shelves at Home Depot and Lowe's.
This stuff is starting to become hard to find.
This is my second folding jabsaw from them.
Absolutely loved it.
It's great.
I wish they still had some tape measures.
I would grab another tape measure.
My biggest regret is not buying their folding table.
It was on sale for like 70 bucks.
You still get some of their products, but it's like places like AliExpress.
The folding table is on there for like 250 bucks, which is kind of crazy.
I'm not buying that.
We'll see, maybe.
I don't know.
But yeah, I love this folding jabsaw.
I got it at Lowe's.
One of the Lowe's I went to, they had like 10 one time.
And then the next week I went and they were all gone.
So my new Lowe's has a bunch of these.
So I picked one up.
It comes with a nice cool little blade, six inch.
And it also came with a Sawzall case.
And it comes with four extra blades, a plastic blade,
a metal blade, a wood blade, and a multi-blade.
And I still use this.
Like I said, this was my second set.
And I still use this little case.
I also bought this one with the holster.
It doesn't fold.
I'm a folding jabsaw type of guy.
So really, I only bought this for the blade, this extra blade here.
And it came with one.
So I really just want to use these blades for the folding jabsaw stuff.
Both of these were just about the same price, 24 bucks and some change.
Here is the part numbers.
They're kind of long, so I won't read them.
But anyway, love the stuff though.
They're cool.
But like I said, they're going away.
Let me know what you guys know about that.
The next tool here I got is the V-cutter from Racketeers.
This little guy has been around for a long time.
It's actually been sitting in my Amazon cart for a long time.
It is from Racketeers.
V-cutter, electricians, add-on cable stripper.
They got it pictured here with their stripper.
I don't have this stripper.
But yeah, I make a lot of penetrations from the attic to the exterior of a house.
And you got to sleeve that Romex inside of EMT.
And you can't have the sheeting inside the pipe.
So instead of using a knife, I'm going to try this out.
Hopefully, it'll save me some time.
The reviews are kind of...
I think 70 say it's good, 30 say it's bad.
I'm going to do a separate video on this.
And I'll let you guys know how that goes because I'm going to use it in the field.
The next tool is a special little tool.
It's this Bi-Color Nipex Limited Edition Black Series.
Came in this cool little case.
I got it on Amazon.
The price is kind of fluctuating right now as far as...
It goes from like $40 to $50 typically.
I think Morgan's Maintenance said it would...
The one that he found, the cheapest price was like $39.
I really wish they would have made a $250 version.
Otherwise, I would have got two of these.
Maybe they do, but I didn't see it.
That's my most commonly used size.
But if you guys watch my Klein Tools Haul video,
this screwdriver here was included.
And I mentioned that anytime there's a blackout version of a tool,
I mean, it does well.
People buy these things.
Blackout is so cool.
There's nothing super crazy about...
It doesn't have any special properties or anything other than black handles
and the bi-color claws.
So yeah, it's got like a silver paint and then the standard black.
These are just badass little guys, honestly.
Yeah, limited edition.
These are sweet.
Love them.
But I want to get a $250 pair.
I might get those lime green ones that you guys see on Instagram and stuff.
From like Jen's bolts here.
I forget what his website's called, but he makes them custom, I think.
The next tool is a little foreign action going on.
I got this from Amazon Japan.
Came straight from Tokyo.
It took a few days to get to my doorstep, which was...
I was kind of impressed, honestly.
Is the CB2 pouch.
I don't...
Luckily, I read a little bit of Japanese right here.
It says,
Which basically is along with saying Tajima CB2.
So the reason I got this is I want to put my phone, wallet, and keys all in one place.
There's a lot of dust and debris that get into my cell phone speaker and the charging port.
So this will prevent that.
It also comes with their little clip system.
This brand, Tajima, is kind of popular in the U.S. more so for their tape measures.
I hear really good stuff about their tape measures.
They have some kind of lock-in system like this, and I think this clip will work.
I'm not going to use this a whole bunch.
I think you're supposed to loop your belt through there.
I think you clip it this way.
I'm not sure.
I'm not going to use this a whole bunch, but it is an option and it is out there.
You guys want to know, you basically just pull up on the pouch
and down on this little piece right here.
I am going to Mexico for a few days at the end of December,
and I'll probably put a strap on this on some touristy type of thing
and wear this around while I'm down there.
Just, you know, it's a little dangerous down there, you know what I'm saying?
But yeah, I'm going to put my keys in this pocket,
in the front pocket, which locks there.
And then my wallet and phone will be in here.
I'll put my wallet behind this mesh pocket,
and then my phone could sit pretty snug in there.
I have, I think, the iPhone 15, and with the case, it barely just fits in there.
Just enough.
But I thought this was cool.
I've seen it on their Instagram, and I was like, why not?
Let's just buy it.
Who cares?
Just money.
All right, the last thing is the most expensive item on this video.
It's the Vito Pro Pack Special Ops pouches here.
I think it ran me about maybe like 50 bucks.
It is the PB29 Special Ops.
So if you guys watched my video with the Jeep in it,
you guys know that I carry a lot of,
I carry a little zipper pouch inside my pack out where I put my power tools,
where I put like my Unibit, Sawzall blades like this, SDS bits, multi-tool bits.
This is going to replace that pouch, give my little pack out a little bit more flava.
And then this one has a second pouch.
These are huge, by the way.
Like, yeah, I could easily fit that drywall saw in there.
These are a lot bigger than I anticipated.
You can also get a deal where there's a third pouch called the CP4,
and that thing is even bigger than these.
You could put these inside the CP4.
But I'm going to use this for the service setup that I'm working on right now.
So in this first pouch here, I'll do like wire nuts, Wago's, stuff like that.
And then this big one has a divider.
I'm going to do like pigtails, screws, 832s, 632s, stuff like that.
Maybe some staples.
And I'm going to set it inside my tool bag.
These are pretty sweet.
I love the color.
Any product that is made by Vito Pro Pack is a good product.
I think both sides or both pouches have this clear side to it.
This one is just one big pocket.
It doesn't have a divider.
Oh, it does have a divider.
Didn't see that.
So yeah, it has a divider in there.
It feels pretty strong like there's a magnet in there or something.
I don't know what that is.
So yeah, this one just has...
Okay, this is the one that doesn't have...
Oh, they both do.
Okay, that's cool.
So divider in both pouches.
And then this one has the extra Ziploc bag.
But there you have it, folks.
Like my stuff.
Comment on my stuff.
Do all that for my stuff.
All right.
Peace, guys.
