Wranglerstar's Tools Featured in Video: Knipex precision pliers: amzn.to/3oj4ODa Tool Check Plus: amzn.to/31ocsn0 (amazon affiliate links)

[@yvairguy]

Checkout gearless ratchets... They use a sprag clutch assembly so any movement at all allows it to ratchet. One of the handiest little tools I have in my bag.

[@ScottDagg]

You can tell it is German design based on the 5th picture on the Amazon link. Shows it the whole set mounted on a belt.

[@DaedalusHelios]

The Czech Republic is fine for manufacturing. It may surpass Germany if Germany continues its descent into authoritarianism.

[@paddyberwick7589]

You have Phillips head screws and pozi head screws here in Ireland pozi head screws do not round the head as easy compared the the Phillip head screws

[@sandimkoffer4201]

They sell the imperial version as well - it’s even less expensive in the US! Wera makes one of the best quality tools in the world - good choice 👍

[@FixitFred]

Wera has always been made in the Czech Republic. Their tools are without a doubt the finest. My only issue is that you have to buy robertson (square drive) bits separately. Which I usually swap out the posidrive bits for robertson. The reason your wera zyklop mini 3 bit ratchet is not retaining the bits anymore is you clocked the retention clip wrong when reinstalling it. The retention clip when properly installed will stick through two holes and act as the bit retention.

[@truckguy6.7]

They come with the Imperial set thought!!

[@guano1274]

No, it is not. They actually moved the production there in the mid 90s. (the company makes tools for like 85 years now)

As a German it warms my heart to see that a lot of our products still have a good reputation abroad. I use Wera-Tools mostly on my guns. I love their torque screwdriver. The Czech have a very similar mindset to Germans, so I wouldn't think twice about Czech made vs. German made tools.

[@420haxx]

As an Englishman it is painfully obvious to me that where we have totally neglected our skills at manufacturing quality, some of our European brethren still take great pride in it.

[@This_is_my_real_name]

@@420haxx -- if it helps any, when I was a camera repairman I had English precision drivers (handles and bits) among the others on my bench, and found them to be equals to the Japanese, which are generally considered the world's best. In fact, I found the "fit and finish" of the English handles to be significantly _better_ than their Japanese counterparts (which were no slouches themselves)!

@@420haxx As an American, I have a similar sentiment towards American manufacturers. One example: When I was a kid (I'm under 40 btw) Craftsman made hand tools here and of a higher quality than those now made in Asia.

[@someguy332]

I completely agree especially in aviation

[@MetalheadAustria]

The fizz is real, not only in aviation. I have been using this exact ratchet for about five years now and it never failed to get in even the tightest spots on my motorcycles or cars.

[@risingsun_]

Bought this kit when I needed tools to carry on when flying to go buy a plane. Worked great

[@bobg4840]

The weird looking Philips look-a-like bit with the extra metal between each flat is a Pozi-drive (Pozidriv) bit. From the googler: The Pozidriv also has a self-centering design, but the shape is modified for improved engagement between bit and fastener, and increased torque without the cam-out of a Phillips. The sure sign that a screw is Pozidriv is the four tick marks or indentations around the cross. Viewed from the side, the difference between Phillips and Pozidriv bits is unmistakable. A Pozidriv has ribs between each of the four arms of the cross. This increases the grip between the bit and the fastener. A Phillips bit fits in a Pozidriv screw head, but it will most likely cam out before the fastener is fully tightened. This can damage the fastener (and it may explain why cup hinges seem to loosen up so quickly). A Pozidriv bit does not fit in a Phillips screw head. Pozidriv bits are available in driver sizes from 0 to 5 (from smallest to largest) and have “pz” marked on them.

[@thejackal3245]

@@DesertJacks I generally agree with you. But I'd also like to point out that there is nothing worse than the massive hole left in the top of a Torx fastener incorrectly driven and stripped out by some careless contractor or DIYer. It makes it hard to even recut a groove to get it out because the hole can take much of the head material out. At least with many stripped Phillips heads, you can get another driver in there.

[@CraftwerksMC]

Might also be a JIS bit but I am sure the parts list will have a break down. Usually if a screw is JIS it will look like a Philips and have a dot over one of the sections. They are frequently found on Japanese motorcycle carburetors and famous for getting stripped out when someone uses a standard Philips on them.

[@Troppa17]

Yes its Pozidriv. Very commonly used for particle board screws and nail screws in Germany. But more and more replaced by Torx nowadays. Regarding the JIS B 1012 screw: It was never a thing here. We had DIN Philips which more or less became ISO Philips over the years. Japan adapted more and more ISO standards over the years so the JIS screw became less common there.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Yep the gold ones are PZ used by IKEA for example.

[@NeilAmbroseUK]

Pozi drive is more popular in the UK for wood screws than Phillips these days. I find the bit bites the screw head a bit better. Phillips is still more widely used for machine screws though.

[@TSWolf21]

I travel often for my technician work and have had this set for a few years now. It has held up very well. Using that ratchet is as satisfying as it looks and sounds! Fun fact, the name "Tool-Check Plus" stems from its ability to to be carried onto a plane without checking it below in your luggage. (TSA does not allow tools longer than 6" in your carry on)

[@thejackal3245]

The gold bits are labeled PZ, which is PoziDriv, which is very common in Europe and what you'll find in Ikea furniture, for example. PZ screws have little - tick marks around the + slot to differentiate. Silver is labeled PH for Phillips.

[@Skidsy]

PoziDrive is also common on Ski and Snowboard bindings and boots

[@PynkPwny]

Also a ton of stuff on motorcycles also!

[@thejackal3245]

@@PynkPwny in my experience most of that stuff is JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). I wish they had included some of those bits in this kit instead of standard Phillips.

[@maxnunn3612]

PZ is a much better system than Phillips and give a more secure location of ther screwdriver than the outdated and inferior Philips which is more common on v small electrical components.

[@PynkPwny]

@@thejackal3245 Yes I agree, but I own a BMW so this kit works and I can just pick up a few JIS for the other tidbits on the bike. I do think they should've included JIS though even if it meant making the kit a bit bigger!

Wera does engineer and quality check their Products in Germany, they still do produce in Germany but due to productions costs - They also produce for an example in Czech Republic which is our direct neighbour. It's probaly good for their economy, its good for Wera and its good quality nevertheless. There are some other Companies which do go more on my nerves with their "Made in Germany" - When the only thing they made in Germany was to stick two pieces together or so. But I don't wanna ramble. Just wanted to point out that "Made in Czech Republic" in that context isn't really bad. The Quality controll is as far as I know the same and the Czechs are actually pretty solid people. Edit: The golden Bits are btw specifically for "Woodscrews".

The golden Phillips bits are a improvement from the originally Phillips and they are called "Pozidriv" they have a slightly firmer grip. (but still not so good like the Robertsons or Torx, etc.) They were invented in the 60ies for fast working industrial use.

[@This_is_my_real_name]

I suspect that the little "fins" were added NOT for better torque (their size suggests that any additional would be minimal or less), but rather, to _prevent_ the drivers from being used with _phillips_ head screws, since the drivers would NOT properly engage the "cams" in the screw heads. I likewise suspect that this may have been done as a result of all the screws (and drivers) wrecked by people trying to use phillips drivers on Japanese "Plus" screws (generally called "Cross-point" here in the West). Same basic idea, i.e., a "camless" engagement for excellent torque _without_ requiring severe "muscle-effort" downward, however, nothing that would prevent someone from sticking a phillips driver into a "Plus" screw, thus damaging both the screw head and the driver. No such chance when you add "blocking wings" to the bits!

@@This_is_my_real_name Yes, it could be like you have described above. Also the Torx would damage the AW (Würth) system and visa versa, but it is still possible to drive the screws with the other bits.

Wera did a good job on the Tool Check Kit. I use mine for small stuff and it is really handy in tight spaces. The bit selection has PH or Phillips, and PZ or Posidrive. They are different. I wish that Wera had gone with J.I.S. Japanese Industrial Standard, instead of the Posidrive. J.I.S. can be commonly found on Japanese motorbikes, and is normally found after some ham fisted person has mangled the J.I.S. screw with an old Philips head. My adapter fits tightly into the ratchet handle, perhaps pull it apart again and have another look. The belt loop works well inside a tool bag to stop the kit tumbling around in the kit,
