The Toolkit That Solar Installers Asked For
In the fast-evolving world of solar installation, one thing remains constant, professionals need tools that work as hard as they do. That’s why Klein Tools have teamed up with leading voices in the industry to launch the Solar Tool Kit, a purpose-built solution designed in collaboration with solar installers.
This isn’t just another toolkit. It’s the result of listening, learning, and co-creating with experts who know the job inside out, including Mark Allison from Power Sonic Electrical, a respected figure in the renewables sector and host of The Renewables Podcast. Mark’s insights helped shape a kit that tackles real-world challenges, prioritising safety, efficiency, and long-term value.
What makes the KTSTK6 different?
The KTSTK6 is built around what matters most to solar professionals:
Designed with installers, not just for them We didn’t just guess what installers might need; we asked them. The kit is built with tools you’ll actually use, no filler, no fluff, just high-performance tools that earn their place in your bag, from MC4® connector spanners to precision wire strippers.
Safety at height comes first Safety isn’t negotiable for solar installers, especially when working at height. The KTSTK6 includes an ANSI/ISEA 121 2023 tested shock-absorbing tool lanyard to prevent dropped tools and protect installers and others below.
Unlike bulky hard cases that are awkward and hazardous on ladders or rooftops, the KTSTK6 uses a compact, water-resistant dual compartment zip pouch that stands upright for easy access, making it safer and more practical for rooftop work.
Built to last
Quality is non-negotiable when your tools are in daily use. Whether you're cutting cable, crimping connectors, or stripping wires, these tools are engineered to deliver consistent results day in, day out.
Supporting the industry – A121 Training Academy
Klein Tools is proud to support a new training academy, A121 Training, led by Mark Allison, by donating kits to equip trainees with the tools they need to succeed.
A121 Training offers hands-on learning that reflects real jobsite conditions, equipping newcomers and professionals with the tools, knowledge and confidence to succeed.
EAL accredited training equips participants to design, install and commission solar systems to industry standards. Courses are led by sector-leading installers and include hands-on learning through real-world roof installations.
The programme covers various roof types and includes practical experience with multiple inverter brands and battery systems, building knowledge of the technologies driving the future of solar. Starting this October, A121 Training will offer free lecturer training across the UK, supported by the IET and ESF. For more information visit www.a121.co.uk
Whether you're installing or maintaining solar panels, the KTSTK6 delivers more than just tools, it delivers confidence. From safety at height to long-term durability, this kit reflects what matters most to installers: precision and performance. It’s not just good value; it’s the right value.
