  • Klein 86700 Marker Holder: My Honest Field Test

    BySteve

    I’ve been running service calls for twelve years, and I’m always skeptical when someone tries to sell me another tool clip. But Klein’s 86700 marker holder actually earned its spot on my belt after three months of real-world abuse. The 4-foot retractable cord means I’m not constantly dropping markers in crawl spaces or fishing them out from behind condensers anymore. It fits the Skribes markers I already use – ultra-fine for labeling wires, chisel tip for ductwork – and the clip stays put whether I’m belly-crawling through attics or leaning into air handlers. Is it essential? No. But it’s one of those tools that pays for itself in saved time and frustration. If you mark units all day like I do, this thing just makes sense.
