Klein Tools has launched a new ModBox wire spool dispenser tool box (54825MB), which is exactly what it sounds like.
The new Klein ModBox for wire spools can hold up to (4) 500-foot spools of 10 AWG wire. If you need more capacity than that, there are pass-through holes on both sides for conduit.
Features include guide holes on the front for smoother pulling and inventory checks, and rubber plugs for reel stability.
Here’s a closer look at the rubber plug. It looks like this should help ensure that you’re pulling wire off your spool, rather than moving your spool and its shaft around.
The lid has a metal kickstand, making it easier to pull wire for ceiling installs.
There are ModBox accessory-compatible rails on both sides of the tool box, and of course it can also be stacked on top of other Klein ModBox tool boxes and accessories.
Price: $130
Discussion
Side holders for fish tape reels and conduit benders, and now a wire spool and dispensing tool box? If there was any question as to who the ModBox system is predominantly designed for, there’s certainly no doubt no – it’s aimed at reducing pain points for electricians and similar users.
Some users have modified modular tool box products – such as Milwaukee’s Packout crate – to hold wire spools, but Klein’s ModBox looks to be the first tool box dedicated to this type of work.
This seems like a practical solution.
