Klein Blackout Screwdriver Set 85446BLK

Klein Tools has launched another new blacked-out screwdriver set, this time a 6pc set that’s selling for $29.98 online.

These are exactly what they look like – Klein screwdrivers but with black-finish handles and black-finish shafts.

Klein Blacked Out vs Regular Screwdrivers

Here’s a quick example of how the new Klein blackout screwdrivers compare to their typical tools.

The new 6pc set, model 85446BLK, comes with 5 screwdrivers plus a magnetizer accessory. The 5 sizes are:

  • Phillips #1
  • Phillips #2
  • Slotted 3/16″
  • Slotted 1/4″
  • Square #2

The screwdrivers feature Klein’s iconic cushion-grip handles, and marked handle caps to help users identify the sizes at a glance.

Klein doesn’t list the shaft lengths in their documentation, but this product image should give you a good sense for what you get. I’m guessing the Phillips #1 has a 3″ shaft, the cabinet-style slotted 3/16″ has a 6″ shaft, and the Phillips #2, slotted 1/4″, and square #2 look to have 4″ shafts.

They’re made in the USA.

As the set is described as a limited edition, you can assume that supplies will eventually run out. Nobody knows when that will be, but I’m guessing you’ll have some time to think things over.

Price: $29.98

Acme Tools has a couple of Klein Tools promotions right now, such as a “buy more, save more” offer that starts with $15 off $75+.

I bought a set to evaluate, and I do like the color scheme – they look great in person. Just don’t take them to nighttime jobs, dimly-lit attics, or put them down in dark corners. Also don’t place them in the bottom of a dark tool bag. They could be decent as workshop screwdrivers.

Even the magnetizer keychain has black plastic. Don’t drop that, either.

This is a little different from the also-new Lowe’s set, with the difference between a Square #2 in place of the Lowe’s set’s longer Phillips #2.
