Have you tried using the tools? Much more fun

[@RAZGR1Z]

He does.

[@BySixa]

I'm glad to see you're enjoying Koken. They're simply fantastic

[@tysonlamb]

As someone who has tried almost every screwdriver, the insulated Wera is my go to. Screws stick to the tips like nothing else. They can grip stripped out heads. And I like the fact that the insulated drivers keep you from scratching things in tight places. I have virtually every Wera driver but I carry a toolcheck plus and insulated drivers in my kit every day. The battery powered vessel driver and their bit set are a must have as well, but Wera drivers and hex plus are second to none.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

Wera is typically my go-to, but for a driver handle that can interchange with different blades/bits, the Wiha has insane bit fitment and no wobble and the grip feels better in my palm than Wera. Then for ratcheting, I love vessel, especially how you can take off the top, and have a built in shorty. Speaking of ratcheting, the smoothness and backdrag I feel like the Apex is even better than Vessel

[@BillTanseyJr]

have ya tried Vessel JIS ???

Great video Matt. What are those screwdriver holders in your top drawer called?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Tool Grid

[@JaimetheNomad]

Yeah I’ve been upgrading all my sockets/ratchets to Ko-Ken, but I did get a couple Nepros ratchets also just because they’re so pretty haha, I couldn’t give it up. My least favorite thing about Ko-Ken sockets, specifically the z-series, is they don’t have 9mm sockets. Not that I actually need a 9mm, but now I don’t have a complete set. Had to order the non-z-series 9mm

[@spevakdesigns]

If I need a tool I either borrow or buy it. If I need to borrow a second time I buy one. I've bought a few here and there that look useful without a specific current need that usually see action within a few months. And that's about it. This is crazy! The organization is pretty sweet though. At least you can find everything you own in there!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think the way you've done is smart. That's how I would have done it earlier in life. I'm at the point now where I just want the whole package just in case. It's really nice to have the right tool when you do need it.

[@Jtx_Tools]

Wow I guess I’m the opposite I Bought wera First but my hand kept slipping with them so I bought the PB Swiss “Swiss Grip”. Screwdrivers specifically and I like them more. Now that’s 90% of My Screwdrivers

[@Kaffeetanne]

Same. I have some Wera at work and they just don't feel right. I personally prefer Wiha and PBSwiss with the Swiss Grip coating. Screwdriver handles are something highly subjective because hands are different. This is why i encourage everyone to test different brands before settling with one.

[@pequod1]

​@@Kaffeetanne I prefer Wiha or Snapon but Wera chiseldrivers are special

You should look at rotator ratchets, a few companies make them. The handle turns operating the ratchet which is very handy in certain situations.

I mean he said verbatim he just bought all of this stuff and is still organizing it. But I've worked with several guys who were this anal about their tools, my old boss would clean and sort any tools he used at the end of each day before putting them back in their home

[@1thechosenjuan1]

I don’t get why people are mad about this. His job is to sell tools and tool organizers. Of course he’s going to do his best to display them. That’s like going to home depot and getting mad the tools on display aren’t being used.

[@JM-uo5vp]

All the gear and no idea

[@cblack1863]

Love Koken! Nothing like it. Perfect ratchet would be 3/8 Koken Z 8" (LOCKING if it exists?) flex head quick realease head with that nice grip being just a little bit longer. The quick release button is a flat profile, so I'd take the decrease in strength. Nothing beats Koken fit, & backdrag is next level👌

[@zustroy]

What are your thoughts about Wera Click-Torque? I plan to buy C3 for my wheels.

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's decent, but I think there is going to be a better version from someone else.

[@chrism1157]

Will the stainless screwdrivers be more likely to strip out or break than a standard screwdriver?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think they may. It is likely a little softer. The reason for them would be to use with Stainless fasteners. I just like how they look, so I'm keeping them, but they certainly aren't necessary.

[@napir]

I just snapped a stainless PH2 Wera last week, but it didn't strip. I don't know which is worse, haha.

[@matthewmiller4475]

And westling socket rails are sweet! I really really like how clean they look check them out I’m geeking over all these tools !! Love them

[@sriramneravati5048]

Koken is so damn amazing I love them, Z series' low backdrag is unparalled

[@ptstouring49]

The diamond tip were blue handles are nice. Available in Japan. They are like what you called the 334, but I would call kraftform plus. Wera 137801 33/50/6A Craft Foam Diamond Screwdriver Set for the part number. I will still take PB for flat/slotted.

[@mattjones5272]

Evening Matt Love this series, Have you ever tried the Facom stuff, their 72 tooth ratchets are really nice to use, their spanners are very good too. They were French but now owned by Stanley Black & decker. Which was a shame They are still very good though

I haven't owned any, but I'm gotten my hands on them several times. Something about them doesn't get me excited.

[@Threedogsinatrenchcoat]

Ah, so this is what my future looks like 😅. If you work with powersports the koken 3/8 t handle is very nice, but wera has a free floating sleeve for faster spins.

[@jackengele2144]

Do you have a part number for the Wera? Just started getting major repair work orders in the power sports industry. I don't necessarily need it, but so many times I've had a tool cause I thought it was cool or whatever, and it was a lifesaver for an unforseen situation. Love those kinds of things

[@johnsmitht11]

Wera screwdrivers are interesting in that you either love them or not. I have one Wera racheting screwdriver and I dislike the handle, it never feels right to me. My favorite screwdrivers are Mayhew, who doesn't make screwdrivers as their main product, they make punches and prybars. But their screwdriver handles are really good.

[@fishingmontana1564]

I have the koken nut grip and they works great but they don't work when you have a thin head bolt like some dodge torque converter bolts it holds them in but it moves around still love them but that was one problem I found qith them the other day

[@gabriell4031]

One thing I would recommend here Matt don’t know if you ever wanted or thought about this? Is to visit a shop maybe like a Porsche shop? Talk to the mechanics on what their favorite tools are. I only watch other toolbox tour channels to scour and find new tools brands or tool numbers in pursuit of the very best of that tool type. Sometimes, I have found the best tool that functions everyday for me (mechanic myself) is not the best looking I think Koken Z series nails both but that is not easy. I have some snap-on tools but that is because they take abuse like no other tool in that category. Sure it doesn’t look great but I need it to hold up. I also think that organization of tools makes that tool look much better in the box. My toolbox looks like yours various tool brands but all just are functional excellence and any that don’t get used or I don’t enjoy using simply get given away. One thing I am not seeing is a multimeter. I would say if you can afford it Fluke. There is a reason for it’s price and that is my most used tool.(Besides my computer) this is a sweet project and I’m sure there are a ton of people that want this just picked out for them. Tools I would say are purchased much more in a collection with financing as well. So I think that is important to look into as well since these collections will be hard for some people to buy in full.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Here is the problem with that logic. Mechanics don’t have the time or money to buy and try a bunch of stuff. They are at the bottom of the marketing funnel. You need to go to the source, the manufacturer. That’s what I do.

[@gabriell4031]

@@ObsessedGarage I don’t mean the way of getting the items I mean in that finding other tool brands that maybe are not known yet. I have some tool brands in my box no one around me has heard of and they are super great no overly priced tools. Maybe everyone here chimed in but I still think there are tons of brands out there that just don’t have a recognition like these big brands. This project is awesome nevertheless

[@1thechosenjuan1]

@@ObsessedGarage I think op meant something else. Of course you would have to go directly to the manufacturer in order for you to order and purchase your inventory. I think he meant that might be able to find some type of “insider info” on a new brand or tool that you weren’t aware of before since mechanics would be in the know.

I have been buying everything second hand for like 2/3rd the price from the tool truck/ Mac site. Definitely worth having over the regular stuff.

Just Googling their site, it looks like typical Chinese Amazon stuff to me, but I've never seen them before.

[@Turb0Yoda]

Finally a wera video.

[@AdamAus85]

Holy Wera, look at that drawer. I have a 2 of their hammerable flat heads and have been looking at the rest of their range too. I need to streamline between my Vessel and Wiha screwdrivers though. Certainly an appealing product just on aesthetics alone. My only thing is the posidrive screwdrivers they have. If I only have metric european cars (BMW, Alfa Romeo), is there any need for the posidrive? Ko-ken is also very nice too, I have one of their 3/8 socket sets and a nice little 1/4 inch set (z series). And more recently a Facom 1/2 and 1/4 socket set. On Hazet, I bought one of their German made (at least that's what the box said) torque wrenches, the 1/2 inch one. I wasn't impressed by the quality at all and returned it.

[@improvedgarage]

i honestly don't like the yellow "strike" wera screwdrivers, we ended up with surface rust on all of ours. The regular green handle ones had zero issue with this. I hope you dont have the same issues. I do really like your VDE set
