The Wera Turbo Kraftform Bit Driver: Not sure its for everyone including me. What do you think?

[@PelicanPines]

Just got mine... I freaking LOVE IT. It's going right in my WERA Go Bag... Genius. Thanks for the review.

[@STPromosMusic]

I bought it because.... Well who doesn't want an overengineered screwdriver? I was expecting it to be a gimmick but damn it's my fav screwdriver of all time, it helped me so much in my electronics job in less than a week of having it, SO MUCH TIME SAVED. Small complaint, the gear that locks the screwdriver multiplier is a bit annoying as it seems the teeth aren't sharp enough to engage in any position, so I need to spin it a little bit to allow the button to be pressed.

[@joshuaanderson7511]

This driver fits a niche but fills it so well which is why I absolutely love it Long machine screws get absolutely eaten by this thing. The best example of where this excells is door hardware. If you need to pull off or put on a bunch of deadbolts and handles, you can't beat this. Turbo mode zips the screws in and once you have all the screws set with low torque you just go behind one time and torque them in. The 4x speed you get more than makes up for the need to switch modes.

[@andytwgss]

The Turbo is a great tool for well “machined” machine screws that are well positioned and placed. Really saves a lot of time and efforts. Otherwise I use and love the ratchet version 816RA. But many times I just use both with different bits at the same time.

[@darcyphillips70]

Wera advise not undoing fixings initially with the Turbo, crack the fixings with it locked… then engage the Turbo once it’s loose

[@TechMay]

The turbo is on my list of tools I want. Great video doc

[@tomthompson7400]

ive about six of them , they are mighty.

[@squirts1]

3:30 Other companies DO make drivers that work the way you described. like a ratchet, but also if you hold, or even rotate the ring it increases your speed. I have a few drivers that drive your bits in the same direction regardless of which way you spin the handle.

[@LabiaLicker]

I can really see this being useful for electronics

[@brandongrabhorn2869]

Always love these videos. I'm a new mechanic looking to expand my tool collection and it's nice to see that someone takes the time and effort to go in depth on the tools I'm interested in investing in. Keep up the good content!

[@1hons1]

Yessss!! Thank you for this review. I’ve been waiting for a video about this. Someone who finally knows how to use this tool. 🙂👍🏽

[@IanSmithKSP]

Doc is obviously a great guy because he apologized to the Roomba when he flipped it over

[@aubreyleonae4108]

I only get that "gotta have it don't know why" when i walk into stores that sell tools, seems to happen everytime, lol.

[@aubreyleonae4108]

I've got a similar Husky that I really like, but that one looks pretty sweet, for sure.

[@tjwatts100]

That ratchet screwdriver your Dad has was a Stanley Yankee Spiral driver (or a copy based off the same idea). My uncle had one too.

[@charlesmckinley29]

I think a small egg beater drill would give you the same speed or maybe faster and should have better torque. You can find vintage ones or new from Lee Valley. You are talking about a Yankee screw drivers and Lee Valley makes adapters for them to take 1/4” bits.

[@AquaTech225]

Can’t really put your drill in your pocket if needed be

[@sml2238]

you're supposed to lock the 4:1 ratio out when tightening and loosening screws

[@scottaddison8071]

I Love their ratcheting screwdriver & the KK25

[@peternelson9865]

You need to push on the top button to torque the screws down

[@chrisgroves9829]

Think that screw driver you were talking about was called a (yankee),the one you referred to with the zig zags your dad used to have.I worked with an old carpenter who used to carry one in his toolbox

[@MrKeefy]

Before battery powered drills were powerful enough and affordable. I remember some carpenters use them back in the late 90s while on sites, shortly afterwards these yellow drills started appearing

[@WorkingViews]

I had to replace every electrical outlet in my parents new house. Blasted through it in a few hours with the old yankee. I'm deciding on a stubby ratcheting screwdriver for a bicycle repair kit to compliment a felo mini ratchet set. Will probably give wera a shot. The 7 in knipex plierswrench already lives in my left hand carpenters pocket, which it seems is the perfect size. Thank you for all the recommendations. Cheers.

[@tedmcdonald3377]

Thanks Doc, 😎😍😎😍😎

[@PATISHAH]

try it CRAFTSMAN SpeedDrive Ratcheting Screwdriver

[@wotan_nightshade]

This tool has also been playing amazon cart roulette with me and even though this video told me everything i needed to know, the game continues, still not sure

[@wotan_nightshade]

God damn I'm here feeling the same sentiments and was about to reply and realized this is my own fuckin comment. About to do a toolbag upgrade and think this could be useful but it's a $60 gamble

[@wotan_nightshade]

One thing I'm noticing rewatching the video is this thing is huge

[@Ras-Buju]

Doc could you tell what are those two small ratchets next to the wera case?

[@lastbesttool]

Those are Snap On TKF72 with one an original 1/4 and the other has been modified to a 3/8 drive in a 1/4 size head.

[@Ras-Buju]

@@lastbesttool those are bad ass Doc👊👊👊

[@TylerSnyder305]

You're thinking of a yankee push driver. I've got a yankee driver and a couple of yankee push drills. You can't beat 'em, though they're kind of annoying for slotted screws. I like the innovative ideas wera has, but the handles don't feel good in my hands and I honestly find them to be extremely ugly.

[@jackhammer9622]

I'm ready for wera to make an 11 in 1 and 6 in 1 already. Like come on do I need to beg

[@Zissou42]

Someone actually bought a 0022!

[@ultimaetsolder]

2-handed screwdriver. Looks finicky.

[@codythompson9035]

Idk, I’ve just never seen a legitimate reason to purchase a ratcheting screwdriver. If I want a ratchet, I’ll use one. If I want to screw something faster than I use a drill… Just always seemed like a gimmick to me. I do commercial/industrial HVAC service and generally need a narrow head/driver to service tight control panels that have too many components in the way already.

[@charalamposmelampianakis2644]

would u mind tell us which knife is that?

[@lastbesttool]

The Knife is a Zero Tolerance 0022 amzn.to/3Cf7vJA

[@blainflake9835]

What knife is that?

[@NotMilta]

Looks like a Zero Tolerance 0022. Copper variant just hit a bunch of stores a few days ago so you might be able to snag one.

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

I think you get faster than a 4 to 1 speed if you just spin the shaft of the screwdriver with your fingers.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Yo buddy been awhile hope all is well!

[@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743]

@@Toyotas_n__Tools Every things great, how are you?

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

@@iamfuckingyourwaifuandther2743 good man I was going through comments today on a video you commented on so its funny I seen you tonight!

[@LabiaLicker]

That makes no sense

[@jollywrencher1163]

The Yankee could drill your pilot hole and drive your screw, while self storing its bits. With patents dating back to the 1800's, yet people get all excited for the newest overpriced gizmo made today and act like it's genius.
