Port Adelaide Football Club is pleased to welcome Klein Tools as a new key partner of its AFL program for the 2027 season. 

Founded in 1857, Klein Tools will celebrate its 170th anniversary in 2027, marking a significant milestone in its history as a trusted provider of professional hand tools and accessories. 

With a longstanding reputation for quality, dependability and innovation, Klein Tools supplies tools and solutions designed to help tradespeople work safely and perform at their best. 

The partnership will see Klein Tools feature across a range of Port Adelaide initiatives throughout 2027, including trade and draft period content, player cards, the club’s Community Footy Raffle and the Empowered Leadership program. 

Klein Tools will also provide equipment to support the club’s operations, including its volunteer group, Dad’s Army, helping the team maintain its home at Alberton Oval. 

Port Adelaide General Manager of Commercial and Partnerships Adam Thomson said he was pleased to welcome Klein Tools to the club. 

“We’re really pleased Klein Tools has partnered with us for the 2027 season. Both Port Adelaide and Klein Tools have long, rich histories, and that shared understanding has formed a strong foundation for the partnership,” Mr Thomson said. 

“Their support of our Empowered community program, along with providing reliable tools to help us maintain Alberton Oval, is another example of how we’re working together to deliver meaningful outcomes. 

“We’re excited about building on this strong foundation into the future.” 

John Blore, Senior Marketing Leader from Klein Tools said the company was excited to partner with a club with such a rich history and strong community connections. 

"For Klein Tools, partnering with Port Adelaide is about genuine community connection and aligned purpose,” Mr Blore said. 

“The rich history of both our organizations is a testament to the importance of supporting the fans and tradespeople who stand behind us. 

“It’s an honour to join forces with such an authentic, longstanding club." 

The partnership forms part of Klein Tools’ continued growth in Australia, building on its established presence in international markets, particularly the United States. Its Australian range includes hand tools and accessories designed for tradespeople, electricians and linemen.
