Klein Tools 5248 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a folding knife 4-1/2 inches long fit the Klein Tools 5248 knife holder?
Yes. The 5248 Tradesman Pro knife holder takes knives up to 4-1/2 inches when closed, which covers most standard utility and folding pocket knives carried on a tool belt. The pouch itself measures 5.25 in x 2.5 in, so anything longer than 4-1/2 inches closed, or a fixed blade with a sheath, is not going to sit in it.
2) Does the Klein 5248 knife pouch clip to a belt, or does it need a loop?
It clips. The 5248 uses a metal clip that goes over a belt or a pocket edge, so there's no threading it onto a belt and no need to take the belt off to add it. That also means you can move it between a work belt and a pocket during the day, or pull it off entirely when you don't need the knife on you.
3) Will the magnetic flap on the Klein 5248 hold a knife in on a ladder or crawling through a ceiling?
The closure is a magnetic flap, not a snap or hook-and-loop. It shuts one-handed and stays shut on its own, which is the point when you're on a ladder and only have one hand free. It is a magnet though, so it's a retention closure rather than a lock, and a hard impact on the flap side can open it.
4) How many knives does the Klein Tools 5248 holder carry?
One. The 5248 has a single pocket sized for one knife up to 4-1/2 inches closed. Electricians who carry both a utility knife and a folder will need a second holder or a multi-pocket pouch.
5) What is the Klein 5248 knife holder made of, and will it survive daily jobsite use?
1680d ballistic weave is the body material, which is the heavier-denier nylon Klein uses across the Tradesman Pro line rather than the lighter 600d fabric on consumer pouches. Combined with a metal clip rather than a plastic one, it's built for daily carry on a working belt.
6) How much does the Klein 5248 knife holder add to a tool belt?
3 oz (86 g) empty. On a loaded electrician's belt that's negligible, which matters if you're already carrying a pouch, a bag and a tape.
7) What are the outside dimensions of the Klein Tools 5248 knife holder for fitting it alongside other pouches on a belt?
The 5248 measures 5.25 x 2.5 x 1.125 inches overall, so it takes up about two and a half inches of belt width and stands just over five inches. That's small enough to sit between a pouch and a tape clip without crowding either, and shallow enough at 1-1/8 inches that it doesn't stand off the hip.
8) What is the Klein Tools part number for the Tradesman Pro knife holder with the magnetic flap?
Klein Tools 5248. That's the full catalog number for the Tradesman Pro knife holder with clip and magnetic flap, and it's what to quote on a purchase order or hand to a distributor.
