The AFCI function on my RT310 sometimes will stop working, but when I try later it works fine—what is happening?
The AFCI function will stop working when the unit gets over heated (>50 degC) from repetitive testing. Once it has cooled down, the RT310 will continue to operate.

I turn on my RT310 AFCI/GFCI Outlet Tester when it is not plugged into an outlet and I see the Power light, the Non-Energized light, and the Open Hot light all illuminate, is this correct?
Featured
Yes, when you turn on the RT310 meter and it is not plugged into an outlet it is not energized, and therefore the Non-Energized light, and the Open Hot light will illuminate. When you plug the meter into an outlet the Non-Energized will change to Energized, and the Open Hot will change to the correct wiring fault message.

I bought a pair of your pliers and the jaws don't touch. Are they supposed to be that way?
Yes, that slight gap is intentional. It’s for two reasons: so customers don’t inadvertently crush wire as they twist and it keeps the cutting blades from getting dull prematurely.

Do Klein Tools pliers handle colors relate to metal hardness?
The colored handles don't necessarily indicate the hardness of the steel. It indicates some tools are heat treated differently so they can be used in heavy duty applications. Our Journeyman Series pliers with the blue handles are heat treated so they can be used in the heaviest applications.

Why is there a Prop65 warning on some of your tools?
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986 that requires manufacturers to notify consumers of the presence of over 900 chemicals in products sold in California. California adds chemicals to the list on an on-going basis. Chemicals included on the list are those which have been determined by a California state agency to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if present in the product above specified levels. Klein Tools cares about the health of its customers and believes its products are safe when used for their intended purpose. To comply with this California law, Klein Tools places the CA Prop 65 Warning label on products that are shipped to California or have a likelihood of being shipped to California.

What happened to earning Klein Tradesman Club loyalty points for scanning receipts?
The receipt scanning process as part of the loyalty program was discontinued as of February 1, 2017. Any points acquired and validated through receipt scanning prior to February 1st, 2017 will be applied to your account.
When you redeem your points, the points are used on a first-in, first-out basis and they will expire after 36 months. This means that points will expire 36 months after they were accrued if they are not used up before then.
The scanning and validating of receipts was a time consuming process for club members, so in they interest of a better user experience, we simplified the program. There are still many ways to get loyalty points. Visit https://www.kleintradesmanclub.com/rewards-about
