Our Distinguishing Values

Klein Tools holds five key distinguishing values that we believe set our business above others in our industry.

Quality

Quality is the foundation on which Klein's brand is built. Quality applies not only to the tangible product we deliver to our customers, but also the service provide.

Customer Obsession

We strive to understand our customers so well that we can anticipate what they need well before they realize it themselves! Although we pay close attention to competitors, we obsess over customers.

Innovation

We expect and require innovation. We are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by "not invented here."

Ownership

We think long term and don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. We are willing to wear multiple hats and never say "that's not my job." Thinking like owners, we are resourceful and treat organizational resources as if they were our own.

Teamwork

We value winning as a team and proactively check out egos at the door. We all contribute to driving favorable results for the organization. We communicate in a candid, constructive manner.
