Klein Conduit Locknut Wrench Has One Job, but Does it Well
Klein Tools has announced a new addition to their electrician-specific hand tool line. The Klein Conduit Locknut Wrench is an innovative hand tool designed to easily loosen and tighten conduit connectors in either tight or deep cut-in boxes.
“Typical methods for tightening or loosening conduit connectors, like a hammer and screwdriver, a pair of pliers or your fingers, rarely work well because of the limited range of motion inside a tight or deep cut-in box. The conduit locknut wrench gets into tight spaces that your hands or other tools won’t.”
– David Mueller, senior product manager at Klein Tools
The Klein Conduit Locknut Wrench is a perfect tool for remodel work where the cut-in boxes are filled with existing wires. Listed under model 56999, the hand tool features two wrench heads that fits 1/2″ and 3/4″ conduit connectors.
This Klein Conduit Locknut Wrench uses a patented direct drive shaft that has the capability to rotate the opposite wrench head when twisted. It eliminates the need for side to side tool movement.
In addition, the new Klein hand tool for electricians offers a wrench head that features a hole for a screwdriver as a lever to enable more torque on extra tight connectors. For more information and availability of the new Klein Conduit Locknut Wrench, please check their site.
“Klein’s Conduit Locknut Wrench is a really specific tool, but it completely changes the way electricians will be able to handle connectors that were previously a challenge to tighten or loosen. The direct drive system on it’s own is intelligent. The addition of holes to insert a screwdriver for more torque is the kind of forward thinking that electricians love from Klein.”
