500+ Wera Screwdrivers | The Craziness Begins!

My next endeavor is looking over Wera's screwdriver collection - and this isn't even all of it. I'll eventually dial in what I think is the best collection for Basic, Advanced, and Ultimate Packages. In the meantime, I'll gather what I want, and the rest I'll either sell or punt.

Out of 500 screwdrivers Matt knew exactly which screwdriver his wife took. God! This guy is certifiably nuts.

[@PhillyFixed]

I mean, Matt started the channel as part of his therapy for OCD, so...

[@bestvett]

501*

[@sickjohnson]

@@bestvett 502 if you count the one that is MIA...? But who is counting...right? LOL

[@sickjohnson]

@@PhillyFixed Matt might actually have CDO...cuz he noticed 1 missing out of 502?

[@chentecruz]

@@sickjohnson He definitely does, that's how the channel started.

[@sandmangti7040]

You know Wera Corporate is having meetings to understand why inventories dropped. Trying to decide where it all went and if they need to expand.

[@j.3854]

😂😂

[@slicktype001]

I love this so much! Contractor here and while I do not have Matt's budget, I'm slowly building up my WERA arsenal. Such a great brand. It has become (easily) my favorite hand tool brand out of all I have tried and gone through over the years. Also looks killer!

[@dino-335]

Man, this looks so fun! These type of videos are some of my favorites. Enjoy the process Matt!

[@mathewwhymark3814]

You have arrived...! Wera tools are my favourite. Superb German engineering and the tool kits are fabulous.

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

When I was 14 years old, I started working at a Porsche/VW shop. My first “Professional” tool kit was a set of Snap On Screwdrivers. (Besides my Sears Craftsman tools). A customer came in, grabbed one of my Snap On Screwdrivers from my toolbox without asking. He ran off into the parking lot. He was changing his license plate frame. I asked him if he wanted me to change it for him. He got angry, and said “what are you afraid of loosing your stupid screwdriver? What’s the big deal?!” Then he got in his car and drove off with my new Snap On Screwdriver. He taught me a valuable lesson, Don’t Lend Your Tools! It was basically a $40 lesson.

[@keithklickstein7102]

It's ok, you're amongst friends, The Wera addiction is real :)

[@dominiccampanella21]

I can just imagine Matt sitting there with two different screwdrivers in his hands, trying to figure out which one feels better lol

[@smilingcopycat]

So lovely to see someone else that is far more lost in space then I am....I only have 160 wera screwdrivers, that makes me almost normal....

[@harrylakhaney4464]

Love how you turned obsession into an art form. Totally addicted to your attention to detail ❤

[@piffpete420]

Bought a set of Wera screwdrivers and KNIPEX pliers/ adjustable wrench set. They are both next level quality

[@calpispop]

Vessel ball grip/handle also have a nice hand feel too them. Their electric screwdrivers are also really nice for doing electrical work and have 3 different versions depending on what torque spec is needed and great for PC building.

[@ThatBeardedVeteran]

I love the insight of this process. You kinda did it with Milwaukee but this feels a little more "behind the scenes" and more in depth of the process of building out these packages.

[@TalkinTools]

This is absolutely INSANE!......... AND I FREAKIN' LOVE IT HAHAHA! Definitely OCD on the organization front, but I do the same thing only much smaller scale lol. I'll spend days sometimes weeks in catalogues or on websites trying to research all the options and which ones suit what I'm looking for best. I can't stand buyers remorse and I try to put in the work ahead of time to alleviate any question if something is going to be what I want. Definitely order single pieces of things to compare and get a hands on feel to them. And I absolutely cants stand things not having a place or a specific home in my collection of tools. I find the laying out / organizing / checking in / and deciphering where things will go almost relaxing or therapeutic. Can't wait to see more of this endeavor!

[@hammer3692]

I’m surprised you picked Wera screwdrivers. PB Swiss are a amazing

[@ObsessedGarage]

I get it, but I'm having a tendency to like these much more.

[@andykutscher1175]

@@ObsessedGarage I'm with hammer here and have found PB swiss, with the SwissGrip handles, to be MY top choice in this category. That said I enjoy watching the process and it's ultimately about what ticks all of the boxes for each one of us along this journey to finding the right choice in the end. I enjoy watching the process, keep up the good work.

[@slayerment]

Don't give him any more ideas...actually nevermind. Would be great to see a 500 tool rainbow array of PB Swiss next!

[@justinpulu3984]

It is cool! Late to the game tool enthusiast here. Started down the path when I started repairing/fixing my cars. Alternators/brakes/struts etc. just ordered my first wera tool. Tool check plus, strictly to start building a kit to take to my moms house for simple repairs. Keep going man!

[@mikebarrs9347]

I've got the Tool-Check Plus Set, and it's great. Will be adding more Wera.

[@mattcully8405]

This is why I continue to watch. Deep dives into tools and equipment

[@sashinger5230]

Wera screwdrivers are simply awesome. Using them for many years now and never looked back. 👌

[@stevewhite5756]

I like the yellow handles! So people are watching you do this, a lot of us.

[@vinski_]

I'm looking forward to a Ko-ken video like this if you do one. Their catalogue is absurdly huge and has some very useful bits that they have patented. They have the coolest universal joints imo and their spark plug sockets that have the extensions built into them are very nice to have. No more sockets falling off the extensions down in the engine block.

[@amac8487]

*long sigh...* Screwdrivers... are something that I like....." Hahaha you the man Matt

[@clintmiller88]

He said "Let me do a QUICK Count" haha

[@kdawson5]

All my home screwdrivers are Wera. Definitely pretty nice. I use one Wera 6mm flex screwdriver at work but the handles are not holding up to daily use unfortunately. And very difficult to clean. I’ll be replacing it with one from Hazet.

[@renv9231]

I agree they are difficult to keep clean.

[@interceptor7905]

Hazet are one of my favourites!Definitely recommend them Vessel brand and PB Swiss Tools!You can't beat them!

[@napir]

Brake cleaner into a microfiber, then a wipe down of the handles is a must for sure.

[@matthewtrueblood408]

I totally approve. Having started my Wera collection about 2 years, best tools I’ve ever had. And great after service too.

[@napir]

Matt, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I think 367k subscribers should show you that you shouldn't give a single thought to those that think you don't use your tools or do real work. So, drop it. You've made it. Stay crazy.

[@snapchat7293]

I useto work as a tool rep, I was also a mechanic, I left that and went to university for mechanical engineering. My fathers a mechanical engineer, my grandad was a mechanic my great-granddad was a mechanic from someone that’s spent their whole life around tools literally since I was a baby. Your best way to do this is to take advice from the field you’re focusing on. The companies that make tools like screwdrivers approach tools from all angles “electrical, mechanical, installation etc” You've caught onto this with your comment I probably wouldn't use this torx maybe once or twice. The specialty bit sets are best for mechanics (security screws, hex, torx) For screwdrivers the best option is JIS and the best manufacturer of JIS screwdrivers is Anex or KTC. Anex is top tier when it comes to individual JIS bits The best non ratcheting bit driver is made by Wiha (Wiha takes both bit hex types Japanese and US) Best plier brand is Knipex to an extent the best needle nose pliers are made by Snap-On (47ACF’s) The best precision pliers are probably made by Fujiya Japan

[@jeffc6832]

HF stands for holding function, which they also have available on sockets and bigger Torx/Allen bits. I think the Wera torque wrenches are manufactured by the same Taiwanese company as the Sonic versions. They look very similar to me.

[@timadamany]

Just when you thought Matt has reached the pinnacle of craziness, he does this. I have 7 screwdrivers.

[@shawnoen1029]

I have tried Wera, Wiha, Snap On, Hazet, etc....screwdrivers and Wiha is the best IMHO.

[@rockhills]

I just watched Matt organize screwdrivers for 42 minutes 😂

[@A0SAirsoft]

Another screw driver brand you may want to consider is vessel, they have a few features which are great for the automotive context, namely the wood handle and the hammer-able metal cap on the end. The wood handles are great for longevity and dealing with being covered in oil, and the metal caps are great when you need them... The only feature missing on those is the flats to grab it with a wrench, but I think Nepros makes a set with the above features and the flats on the shank... Ave has a great series on these which may be worth referencing

[@ObsessedGarage]

Good advice. Thanks for the tip.

[@A0SAirsoft]

@@ObsessedGarage no worries, glad to see y'all are getting more in depth in this space, I've been liking my Nepros ratchet so I'm glad to see that's getting added to the pool for consideration as well

[@tilmykillme]

Wera is great, just picked up some of their joker ratcheting wrenches, love em

[@slurpplayingpc4854]

Highly recommend PB Swiss screwdrivers the grips on them are amazing and there tools have lifetime warranty!!!

[@Pnilson]

What, no Wiha tools? They make some of the best. Ecspecially the allen keys.

[@motkilsun]

Nice one i use Wera tools every day at work and they are my favorites. I would also recoment the PB Swiss tools brand, good high quality tools.

[@sandmangti7040]

Matt, the Willie Wanka of Screw Drivers!

[@scottscopters7]

that is funny you mentioned Torx1. I literally just got a T1-T10 set today lol

[@kevinnickens]

I’m a younger guy early in my career so I’m usually the “basic solution” OG shopper. I’m not sure why but this is really exciting to me, I’m very interested in this stuff.

[@Mr.Turbo6]

First I thought my 40 screwdrivers were a lot… second I was in to see if Matt could fit all those on one workbench… but I am in for new screwdrivers. Thanks matt

[@kdao1007]

I want all those Wera... my goal too. Cant go wrong with Collecting Wera and Wihas too.

[@dmacl123]

The Wera Joker wrenches are really nice!

[@abesebag1085]

you have oprobably gotten this comment many times on this video but the square drive insulated are very useful for outlets and other electrical work

[@MikeyFFA500]

Can't wait for the Knipex madness!

[@BenFenner]

6:34 - I love my torx screwdrivers for removing interior bits from BMWs, and similar fiddly work on German car stuff. You're going to want those in the collection. Maybe in Basic, for sure in Advanced/Ultimate.

[@AlexanderLuberg]

I can’t wait for you to create nice sets of sockets and collections of screwdrivers, sockets and bits from wera without having to buy weird combinations with velcro cases 🎉 wera magnetic rails are quite nice as well, Zyklops and torque wrenches are great!

[@AlexanderLuberg]

Since all the screwdrivers and tools are usually on the wall or in drawers it seems super wasteful to have all the Velcro packages. sockets and bits sets are incomplete and are not matching with either Velcro or foam inlays. I wish I could just buy all sockets in deep/short/sae/metric, ideally with foam inlays.

[@AlexanderLuberg]

Kraftform xl package + more granularity of ph. Precision screwdriver set is sufficient and all tools are similar length. All joker wrenches 6000 and 6004, 3 sizes of overlapping 1/2, 3/4, 1/2 torque wrenches, same for Zyklops.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You and me both! They don't make it easy to not buy their preselected kits. I did some quick calculations on a few examples, and I did find it's going to be less cost to piece it together without the cases.

[@henrycollins2478]

If/when you carry wera in the store, will you also carry their advent calendar?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Ha, ha. I think not.

[@dino-335]

*Me looking at the toolkit that's been passed down since my grandfather has owned em* _I'm okay._

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah...I had that too. My dad gave me a bunch of what were his dad's tools.

[@Thiccology]

@@ObsessedGarage I honestly don't blame you. Nothing is safe from the OG treatment.

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

You obviously earn a good income, theirs nothing wrong with having a hobby. Plus if you review the screwdrivers you are doing a service for most mortals that just want one good set. I designed mechanic hand tools and tool boxes for a Tiawan company. I lived in Tiawan while I’d did QC. I always tried to design high quality tools at affordable prices. You would of been a good person to send the end result to, & get your feedback.

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

I’m a California Realtor, sometimes the satisfaction of fixing thing yourself outweighs the actual cost of paying someone to do the work for you. I was in automotive for over 30 years, I was a fabricator for Carroll Shelby, it’s hard to get the oil out of your veins.

[@RAZGR1Z]

The Snap-On guy must have wronged you for all the Snap-On slander in your videos 😂

[@dtna]

Man, you are obsessed! I haven't turned a wrench since my colllege days, then worked for a major automotive corp.. But never got my hands dirty.

[@FixitFred]

Check the ends of your Wera yellow grip craftforms. Some allow you to put a 1/4 ratchet in the end of the screwdriver. I found a couple were nice and tight and a couple the ratch slipped right out of the square drive socket in the end of the screwdriver. Hopefully they fixed this in your set. My set is 5 years old

[@lordgarth1]

Wera screwdrivers. I approve this video. Lol.

[@Mondo-mp8zu]

I like where this is going. Square #2 is common on electrical breakers.

[@swift__]

Personally I love the green series, you know exactly what brand it is when you see those colors and know they’re badass tools. Just my opinion but green + black ( 3000 series I think you said ) is the Wera models that I buy. But that’s just me 😎🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻

[@pskauto6798]

I’m new here . I’m loving it , but is this a channel about a well off guy with ocd/adhd that loves tools? Cuz I’m all for it

You nailed it.

[@michaelsedway9703]

Try some pb Swiss drivers. Parallel ground tips.

[@Tye3014]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing your findings to help me build my Wera collection, FYI HF means holding function, you probably have that figured out by now! Keep up the hard work, blessings from the UK!

[@BenFenner]

The high voltage stuff might come into play for those doing DIY solar at home and such if you're aiming for that type of person, but really I can't think of where it fits into the Ultimate catalog otherwise...

[@jasonbrown8726]

should look at proto upper end of ratchets. they come in foam kits with all the different types of ratchet handles

[@sylvainr.399]

I’m just like Matt…I, too, like to buy stuff I’ll never use just to have it and have the pleasure of organizing it!!!

[@TheMustangs05]

the ones with end caps are sickkkkk

[@georgesnyder5337]

Have you seen Wright Tools? They are a pretty cool USA manufacturer and kind of do their own "curated" model; they have various sets and will leverage different manufacturers for tools outside their core (e.g. Chanellock for pliers). Wright Grip wrenches are arguably some of the best out there and the sockets are top-notch as well. Ratchets are old-school round-head style which is not everyone's cup of tea I suppose.

[@ZER0o10]

My entertainment during lunch at work ! Awesome content love tools

[@mph3500]

Wera is great, and I like Knipex for pliers and cutters. I'm a Hazet fan too. And ,the way I see things, we're all from the same planet. Tool quality and feel override where it was produced.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Amen

[@deanolivas3011]

Matt as much as I like the Wera screwdrivers order yourself some PB Swiss screwdrivers you will never look back.

[@andrewcrossman2165]

[@FixitFred]

I use my Wera Torx all the time aswell as the ball torx super handy but not as strong. Also the awl is fairly handy there is two types last I checked. The micro screwdrivers are amazing I bought the older rollup it had about half as many in it but I use it daily. The bendy wera are amazing for pipe clamsp such as radiator hoses. They also clean up really well I just use some tub of towels on them

[@zachmeinert3695]

As a 25 year old who only needs like 5 screwdrivers at this point in my life, it would be ideal if you could somehow sell an upgrade kit to go from say basic -> advanced so I don’t need to repurchase what I might already have

[@MikeyFFA500]

As a Wera fanboy, this IS the freakin dream!

[@Acecross]

Loved the video Matt and I love it when you are doing what you really love - totally unnecessary but it makes you happy! Out of interest how common are pozidrive screws in the US? I’m in the UK where we have mostly PZ now but also still a lot of Phillips heads. If you’re working on anything Japanese you also need some JIS screwdrivers. That’s the head type not the brand. Keep up the great work!

[@ggpack8190]

Tell about the orange vise company where to buy ?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I have them. I love that thing. www.obsessedgarage.com/products/orange-vise-obsessed-garage-edition

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

I absolutely love Wera screw drivers (not nearly as much of a fan of their ratchets). That being said, I also really like Vessel, Klein, and others. Then I use some Milwaukee (their hand tools are way over priced for the quality), craftsman, Lennox, tekton, and Stanley FatMax as my “thrasher” stuff. Stuff I don’t care if my kids use it if a neighbor needs to borrow, or whatever.

[@FixitFred]

I own almost all of those 500. What makes me mad is that I have owned mine almost 10 years and as you can see from Matt’s collection there are a couple that have the all black plastic instead of the Wera Craftform grip. If you are going to make a set Wera please make them all the same grip type
