Klein 85191 Reamer: My Go-To Conduit Tool
I’ve been running HVAC installs for over a decade, and the Klein 85191 has earned its spot in my daily carry. This isn’t some flimsy multi-tool trying to do everything—it’s purpose-built for reaming conduit, and it shows. The screwdriver end is solid enough for actual work, not just an afterthought, and the reamer handles 1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″ thin-wall without the wobble you get from cheaper options.
What sets this apart is the build quality. Made in USA means something here—the steel holds its edge through job after job. I’ve burned through bargain reamers that needed replacing every few months. This Klein? Still going strong after two years of job site abuse.
It’s not the cheapest option, but when you’re working overhead in a cramped mechanical room, you want tools that won’t let you down.
