Klein Tools 65301ADP KNECT™ (S) 2-Piece Pass-Through Ratchet and 1/4-Inch Socket Adapter Set

The Klein Tools 65301ADP KNECT™ (S) Pass-Through Ratchet and Socket Adapter Set operates as a low-profile manual driving tool designed to run hex nuts down long continuous threaded rods without bottoming out inside traditional deep sockets. Forged from heat-treated Chrome-Molybdenum and Chrome-Vanadium alloy steel with a rust-resistant black manganese phosphate finish, this 2-piece set weighs 29/100 lb (0.29 lb) and measures 5-97/100 inches (5.97 inches) in overall handle length. Engineered with a slim 9/10 inch profile head and a integrated 1/4 inch square drive extension adapter, this compact ratcheting system enables commercial electricians, HVAC mechanics, and strut framing installers to navigate tight ceiling clearance bays, toggle clockwise and counterclockwise directionality instantly, and adapt standard 1/4 inch drive square sockets onto the pass-through wrench handle.

Best Used For:

  • Unrestricted Threaded Rod Fastening: Running hex nuts continuously along extended 1/4 inch threaded rods for suspended electrical conduit, trapeze hangers, and HVAC ducting.
  • Low-Clearance Space Operations: Servicing hardware in confined stud bays and tight junction box clearances using a slim 0.9 inch pass-through ratchet head.
  • Standard Socket System Integration: Converting the pass-through ratchet handle via the included 1/4 inch square drive adapter to operate standard 1/4 inch square drive impact sockets.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Hollow Pass-Through Head Design: Allows long threaded rods to pass completely through the ratchet head, eliminating the need for deep socket clearance.
  • Forged Cr-Mo & Cr-V Alloy Steel Construction: Premium metallurgy provides high tensile strength to withstand manual breaking torque without flex or fatigue.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Black Manganese Phosphate Finish: Protective industrial coating shields exposed steel from jobsite moisture, oils, and surface oxidation.
  • Clearly Labeled Directional Selector Switch: Quick-flip directional lever enables rapid switching between clockwise ratcheting and counterclockwise loosening.
  • Ergonomic Contoured Grip Handle: Ergonomically shaped handle reduces operator hand fatigue during continuous overhead fastener installations.
  • 1/4-Inch Square Drive Adapter Included: Interlocks seamlessly into the KNECT™ (S) ratchet head to drive traditional 1/4 inch square drive socket hardware.

What's Included

  • (1) Klein Tools KNECT™ (S) Pass-Through Ratcheting Wrench Handle
  • (1) KNECT™ (S) Interface to 1/4-Inch Male Square Drive Socket Adapter

Pro-Tip: When installing long overhead threaded rods for trapeze conduit supports, slide pass-through sockets directly onto the rod before attaching the ratchet. Operating the pass-through mechanism directly over the rod eliminates the need to reset long-socket extensions or use open-end wrenches in tight ceiling voids.
