Thanks for the video. That’s another $300 gone from my bank account

[@aadd3538]

Got a 838 RA . Great little ratchet screwdriver with fingertip selector and direction change. Very quick and easy.

[@Shithappenswhenu]

That mini ratchet is a god send working on helicopters with hard to reach areas. I also love that I can use the zyklop as a ratchet screwdriver too, when i don’t have a screwdriver to hand.

[@Doc1985]

You always do a great job in presenting the tools for review! Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to do quality presentations.

Excellent. Just what I was looking for! Many thanks. Well done.

I’m glad I found you when I was looking of switching out my old tools to kinipex, and now wera. Always enjoy watching your vids from central NY

I love the shorter version of the allen keys, super compact, ideal for every day carry (:

[@Iwoodlikethat]

I work in a machine shop and have got a bunch of people to get the allan keys because they always work in tool holders, even when other brands fail. So worth the money

[@akletke1]

I do a lot of electronics work. The 2.5 micro driver is on my top 5 list as well as their VDE blades sets. I have multiples of them to keep from carrying a full set of drivers. I carry a couple of the VDE handles and a set of interchangeable blades in each of my veto bags.

[@drewcandel]

Absolutely love this channel, ive watched a bunch of videos and ordered some things you reviewed thanks!

[@MillisConstruction]

Thank you so much 😊

[@RVDL]

What a great review, I enjoyed the way you explained it. Bought all of them since I'm building up my kit. And having the _right_ quality tools makes all the difference instead of getting one of those hardware store 33-in-1 kits which contains so much low quality stuff you'll never use.

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Off topic , just a tip from an Old Goat who has made every mistake in the book ! I always shitcan metal electrical tape chains , and cludge a replacement out of Aqua Pex and Paracord . I put them on both my tool bags , and belt holsters ! I still have some scars on my right leg , where a metal chain went into a live box , molten metal sprawl hurts somewhat !

"The public is something sometimes" Lol! i totally get you. some member of the public stole our toilet bidet head the other day. this is why we cant have nice things. love your review, dude. keep it up.

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

Zyklop is a must

[@fuloplehel]

Nice tools, I also have this tools in my bag. Recently I bought a set similar to the tool check plus, but it is renamed as a bicycle set, and yes I noticed that the locking button is missing. Also the new version is a bit longer, the bits are slightly more apart one from another. The Allen wrench set is a good one, I have one with the holding function, with a little ball bearing on the ball end. The hex plus profile is excellent, you can apply more torque before you strip the screw head. The zyklop pocket set is not that great. The magnetic retention of the sockets is not my thing. I don't want to lose the socket inside the machines. So I give it away, and purchased the 1/4 zyklop în a set with sockets and extensions. For bits I use a ratcheting pistol grip, or the new t handle with ratcheting. Wera makes great tools, I am a fan.

[@donangel7287]

Can you do more videos on PB Swiss tools there aren't a lot of good videos showing them off

[@GeekBatman]

On the Zyklop and when in screwdriver mode you can release the bit in the quick disconnect. I'm not sure if you forgot to mention or didn't know at the time. So, the green pull that changes the angle when pulled down can also be pushed up and in turn interacts with the bit disconnect button. The more you know.

[@alexandrehoarau784]

Great video, do you recommend 3/8 version more than 1/4 ? I mean , in the 3/8 set you have the 1/4 adapter and the 3/8 driver is more handdy

[@paulb9769]

Surely you could just swap the allen keys in their cases? I just use the 816 RA Ratchet Screwdriver with a bit check.

[@MrWesleyDP]

Great content as always. I do hate to see the ToolCheck Plus loose it's locking mechanism, but I still think it is one of the best too...er sets of tools...that you can carry into an unknown situation. When I got mine (metric and SAE) I figured they would get some use and would make a great addition to a toolbox. Honestly, I was surprised at how central they have become to the repair work I do off and on these days. Having, 25 or so bits on hand and a few sockets have saved me more than a few times. I can't recommend it enough.

[@InquisitiveBaldMan]

I use the one with the locking mechanism.... It's very hard to unlock now as the wera logo sticker falls off eventually.

[@gbraadnl]

2:35 the Stanley Fatmax and Fatmax Stubby come with an extension, so you can use them as a short or long driver, plus the bigger Fatmax can be twisted into a wrist lever. I like the Wera stuff, but somehow more is available for less.

[@marcioantonioliberato9523]

[@jeffffro7674]

Wera tools may very well be the BEST designed tools on earth!!! Which of course, makes them CRAZY EXPENSIVE!!!! The only thing I can say to defend the price, the tools are literally a joy to use!!! They make you look for reasons to use them and every time I use them, I smile!!! I got the Zyklop set that has half inch and quarter. After using it for a year or so I realized that it does the job of hundreds of tools in a compact, easy to carry METAL case. I highly highly recommend them, for anyone doing anything.

[@krejci92p]

Also they are made in Czech Republic, not in China by 12 year old kids.

[@westonweigand1228]

Wiha, PB Swiss, Hazet, Knipex...

[@greenmarine5]

The Heidelberg Mechanics use Wera tools, that little 1/4" socket can withstand some pretty high torque. Outperforms any craftsman 3/8" Drive

[@burnedupsparkytipsandrevie9597]

Wera does make great tools but I wish they'd work on the back drag and find a way to slim down the heads on the zyklops.

[@austinbrown1703]

I love the idea and layout of the tool check, but i really want one with the metric and imperial hex bits along with torx. Ive been using the wiha 74996 set along with a Kraftform kompact driver. If wera would make something with same bits as the wiha set i would definitely get one. Maybe they do, i just havent seen it yet.

[@janl.6602]

Hi there, you mentioned the textile rail and I would like to see wera selling all size rails in a formfactor like the 1/2 inch impact rail. You could easily carry those on the outside of any tool bag and reach them. The standard (long) rails are just not suitable Greetings from Germany

[@whatfreedom7]

I like the idea of the driver with all the bits for convenience but all those little bits are just so easy for me to lose. I have the issue on other drivers where I would use it and the bit stays behind on the fastener or falls out somewhere.

[@michaelfairchild]

Price is higher, but its not made in China, but mostly either Germany or Czech Republic.

[@hispanicprepper1218]

I wish I was just getting started 😢.

[@jakinator01]

Could you please do a comparison of Wera & PB Swiss ratcheting stubbies? I wonder which one is actually shorter & narrower.

[@revg2608]

Top tier MILLIS

[@jasandper]

I didn’t know they removed the locking latch from the tool check plus. Does it look like it will become loose over time?

[@SupeS19811981]

I want to get one of the 1/4 inch zyklops socket sets. It would get used every day at work. Just need to get the cash together and then I will get one ordered. I want my toolbag to pretty much be Wera tools. They feel incredible and are truly reliable. I live in the UK and have only just found your channel. Helpful advice and content. Keep up the great work.

[@FelixBT93]

Do you think you need the ratcheting screwdriver and the zyklop? I was just wondering, because the zyklop can also be used as a ratcheting screwdriver

[@Blue-Electric]

I have all these, except the ToolCheck. Love Wera, love your vids but not the ToolCheck haha. I know you love that damn thing. Maybe one day I'll pick it up.

[@user-cd7jx2td8n]

I really enjoy quality tools - no matter where they're made, Millis. I'm presently in need of a precision bit set and I'm wondering if Wera makes such a thing? When I write "precision," I mean those tiny screws that computer manufacturers, sadly, use to keep their own customers out of the machinery they invested so much of their hard-earned to buy in the first place. It's a pathetic limitation, but that's another discussion, so I will digress. Specifically, the laptops that I'm presently working on have both Phillips #00 and Pentalobe 5 (1.2 mm) screws holding them together and, as you may have guessed, they were made by the company that defines end-to-end control, Apple. I've both liked and subscribed to your YT channel, so please keep on making the informative videos. 👍

[@motivatedreign5102]

Check out the rbrt tools from Mac for rounded fasteners

[@18erik]

Hallo sir , thanks for the great videos . Really would Appreciate if you have time to reply me with a part no. Of the textile case for the Allen keys , the only one I could find in Germany is the one with 8 slots and I think when you buy Allen keys or torx , with the plastic holder it comes with 9 keys ?

[@DavidWeinberg-cm9xd]

Can't go wrong with German tools. I like Whia and Witte screwdrivers. Wera precision screwdrivers are my favorites also. Not a fan of ball hex driver allen wrenches. Socket torx and allen are how I like to roll. The Were torx and allen keys are primo quality. Nothing worse than cheap tools, the steel is much better than most USA manufacturers, and yes, Snap on included. The best bits I have used were from Apex USA, a high quality production grade tool company., Which now does not do USA tools anymore, like most going overseas to probably Tawain and lowering cost and definitely quality. That's just another reason to buy German tools. Knipex owns the market nowadays for pliers, nuff said.

[@austinbrown1703]

Im wondering if that wera socket rail will fit in one of the top pockets in a TP-XL. I currently have a normal metal 3/8 rail in mine and would like to switch to the wera.

[@JasonGrace1]

I've watched a bunch of your videos on Wera tools and decided I wanted the ratchet set. I liked them so much I bought some as gifts for family members as well but last week my 3/8's just quit engaging, I'm not a heavy user by any stretch of the imagination I was actually tightening down my wife's minivan battery into the plastic holder nothing insanely torque heavy but it locked up. I contacted Wera and sent them a video of it but haven't heard back. Is there a warranty handler in the US?

[@JeffGrahamPhotography]

Do you prefer the Wera or PB Swiss ratcheting drivers?

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Kinda off and also on topic : The Whia 26 in 1 driver and 14 in 1 stubby are great backups ! I also have most if not all of the bit assortments . They can get your ass out of a sling both on and off duty ( I carry both in my “ Man Purse “ ) . The bits are Deffo . Not impact rated ! When working my primary stubby is PB Swiss loaded with Milwaukee impact bits ( I like to be able to trade ammo ) .Any tech/ tradesman who doesn’t carry a multibit stubby is picking his own pocket !

[@andrewunzeitig335]

Have most of these love the engineering but I don’t like the wera grip on their screwdrivers. Prefer something larger for most tasks so I end up using the Klein one. Just fits my hand better and I get a better grip

[@Jax-if6un]

For your first zyklop would you recommend 1/4 or 3/8?

[@iceburg018]

Have you ever used the Wera - 5051461001 Kraftform 816 RA Bitholding Ratcheting Screwdriver, 1/4" Head? I splurged and grabbed one. It's sort of a combo between the two that you reviewed just without the added bits

[@espressomatic]

Thanks for the detailed load-out and tool videos. It's good to see another pro, who actually uses the tools and bags, talk about them, instead of so many KZbinrs who have never seen a job site. So, I've been using screwdrivers for over 40 years and in that time I've yet to come across a situation where I would prefer to be using a ratcheting screwdriver to a regular one. I've tried plenty of great ratcheting screwdrivers, I just don't see the appeal. And while I love the Wera Allen keys, it bugs the hell out of me they're missing 7/64 - and guess what size you need for Moen thermostatic shower handles?

[@elektriikatk]

Hi. I'm curious as to why you don't prefer ratcheting screwdrivers to normal ones. Aren't they more comfortable to scren in things with?

[@littlejackalo5326]

It's like any other tool. You get stuck in your ways and you don't want to integrate new stuff. The downfall of most tradesmen. You just think you don't have a user for it, because you haven't put in the effort to use it for a couple weeks.

[@appleztooranges]

1/4 or 3/8 for zyklop? What do you recommend

[@ronlawson5819]

Have you tried the joker wrenches

[@chrisfyfe9212]

Wera is a good outfit !

[@three-phase562]

For my job, I would take out the checkplus and replace it with the VDE screwdriver set. My ratchet screwdriver choice would be the one from Gedore. Thanks for telling us your choice.

[@CAborn1112]

I wish Wera would give us complete socket sets in both versions. That’s what’s stopping me from pulling the trigger.

[@CreachterZ]

For work around home, should I start with imperial or metric? I’m in the US.

[@Poodrdt]

Millis: - I got probably 5 or 6 or a 1/4 inch sizes... Me: - That would cover my mortgage!

[@zakpike8019]

Seriously curious I feel like your getting the higher quality control wera screwdrivers I have probably a dozen with the pop open bit holder and all of them brand new you pop it open and all your bits fall out I love there tools and that's the only complaint I have but it is annoying especially at 30-60$ a screwdriver depending on wich one you get tool check plus absolutely my favorite purchase ever I'm a mechanic I work on anything and everything from geo metros to peterbilts and I keep that thing in my pocket everyday cause it comes in handy so often

[@hammerhead28]

when looking reviews on amazon a lot of pepole have issuses with 1/4 inch cycklop

[@Kenny-mg1ls]

I thought the 1/4 cyclops u could put a bit eight in the head of the drive and didn't need an adapter? That's why I was thinking of getting it. If that isn't the case then I probably won't get it

[@RiverSLV]

Hey Millis, I’ve been flipping houses full time for about 4 years and work every trade, sometimes let other people use my tools (although I try not to) and I’ve been upgrading my tools as I go, really have spent some money on quality stuff and organization like packouts, etc. been getting into wera and Knipex, so far I really like it all I’m super impressed. Sometimes I feel like I don’t want to use my really good tools for nasty stuff like demo, etc. My question is do you feel like these tools hold up to really dirty work or would you use some yard sale tools on stuff like demoing drywall and working on exterior stuff where there’s doing to be a lot of dirt, sand, concrete etc, or would you grab a demo bag like I said and also do you have a bag that’s in between like maybe some Kobalt or husky tools stuff like that, because I have a bag like that of mid grade tools that are older that I’ll use for that kind of stuff. Lately I’ve been thinking, I’m making enough money to use better tools for demo haha maybe I’m overthinking this

[@HaasGrotesk]

I used to be like you. Bought bunch of expensive stuff and never used it because I was too afraid I'd scratch them or get them dirty. Then one day I tought, what the hell am I doing!? These tools are made to be used. Just use them, if they break then return them for a refund or buy new. Surprisingly none of my tools have broken because they are quality tools and they can stand up to the abuse. Yeah, they get a little bit dirty and get their scratches but that's just part of it. Use your tools and enjoy them, If they break then you know they either sucked or if you liked them enough just buy new. Life is too short to baby around stuff. Now I used and abuse every god damn thing I own because they are meant to be used.

[@littlejackalo5326]

I have 93 employees, in 20ish crews, and a couple dozen trailers, and I buy only good tools for the trucks, vans, and trailers; even though I don't use most of those tools. Just buy them and use them.

Have you got any Wera 1013 stuff? Seems there's little to no videos on Wera's 4mm drive stuff

[@MillisConstruction]

Is that their proprietary size drivers? I’ve looked at those but I haven’t purchased any yet if so

[@bobb5528]

@@MillisConstruction 4 mm is not proprietary to Wera. Wiha also sells the 4mm size bits. I actually like Wiha for all my 4mm tools. I use them in electronics repair and assembly. These bits can be used in a screwdriver that accepts the 4mm bits, or you can use an adapter that adapts the 4mm bits to a standard 1/4” socket. The 4mm bits come in real handy for micro work. The Phillips bits for example come in size 0, 00, 000 and 0000 sizes.

[@Adam4]

@@MillisConstruction It's a very odd type of bit, not sure if it's standardised per-se. There are several brands I've seen making them though: Wera, Wiha, Vessel. They're usually either HIOS (wing as Vessel calls it) or half moon style locking bits.

[@ImDeejay]

Can somebody help. I love my 3/8 " zyklop but the socket diameter is too damn thick compared to every other brands sockets. Do they sell one that isn't so thick so I can use it when I'm mounting electrical steel strut?
