- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2022
- The Wera ToolCheck Plus is a great first choice of a Wera tool to get started in their ecosystem, or as a stand alone kit for the go bag or car. The wide range of bits and sockets combined with a driver handle and mini ratchet make this kit almost perfection. Start building your collection from here with full size ratchets and drivers and all these parts will still fit with all those as your collections grow. #wera #weratoolrebels #weratools

Thanks for the recommendation...having the right bit when you need it makes perfect sense.
The tool check plus was also my first wera tool and i love it. Its so compact and the quality is just awesome
Love this set. Thanks for the KC tools site recommendation. I had not heard of them!
As several have noted my first Wera tools were the SAE and Metric ToolCheck Plus sets. I love these little things as these along with a pair of pliers-wrench's and maybe a pair of needle nose cover 90% of the random things I end up having to repair. Indeed most of the stuff I end up repairing these days are scientific instruments which all seem to have the design philosophy of small, cramped, and random which makes the ToolCheck Plus super useful.
Been carrying a set in my cargo pocket for 3 years as a industrial maintenance tech. I don't know how many calls I've completed with just this set vs having to roll out a toolbox or carry a tool bag. Those calls still exist. But this little set really saves the back and feet.
So many saved steps back to the truck 😅
Same, i keep the other "small" ratchet set in the van. I've got accustomed to the small wera set and service 3-4 machines per day with it. It's amazing.
This is my favorite kit period. I work on biomedical equipment and have traveled several times with no issues through TSA with these in my carry on. A set of cheapo Harbor Freight sockets with thinner walls helps it as does another cheap extension.
I carry the Wera tool check plus in my bag when i go trail Riding with my Motocross.
It helped me and my buddies a lot.
It's light,compact and hast almost everything you need to work on a dirt bike
This is gonna cut down the weight of my bag nicely. I have a Vaco socket set in there and my Chapman bit set. Now I can keep those on my workbench and have just this little set in my bag! And more room for activities!
Dude I love your videos im a first year plumbing apprentice in Australia I just bought my first tools after saving up some money including a veto bag knipex pliers and wera screwdriver and a few other thing your videos are so helpful in deciding what tools I should invest my money in
Thanks a lot! I’m glad they help out 😁 I sure enjoy making them!
Great video! 👍 I have the Wera Bitorsion Bit-Safe 61-Piece set. It doesn't have have any Robertson/squares, but I picked up a few on KC T. to better complete the set. It's tiny when folded together in it's tactile pouch and takes up very little space. Wera makes some really great and creative stuff.
Love mine. Seems like no matter what I’m doing, it’s out of the bag and getting used. Smart little setup.
My first Wera tool was the 2021 advent calendar.
I have both the Metric and Imperial sets and thought I lost a piece of the Imperial storage case, but it's just a different case from the Metric. Thanks for the clarity!
Yep, I’m sold!
It’s a great tool set, 😎😎
I got the WERA really well made.
Got that ToolcheckPlus and more than happy with it, but it was my second Wera set I got myself, not the first. First were just a standard set of Wera screwdrivers. Greetings from Germany
I have two metric ones. No regrets. One for my jobsite box and one in the workshop.
The tool check plus is a solid first choice, I think the best introduction to Wera would be the screwdrivers, I think they makes the best screwdrivers of all time! Great video! Btw, it is “Imperial” I agree with you! Lol
Absolutely! Especially the Laser tips, those are incredible 😁🔥🔧
I purchased the imperial set and a set of the metric sockets. It is probably the most functional set I have. Use it daily. Wish it came with a case because wera has figured out their tool cases.
I have a few Wera tools, but never purchased this one though. My small bit ratchets are from Teng. My favourite bit holder is from Gedore. We say imperial in the UK, I have also heard it referred to as 'old english'.
As a field service engineer, I and all my colleagues have one of these and use them on just about every job. I wouldn't be without it. However, on ALL of them, the screwdriver holder has broken off. When I've attempted to contact Wera customer service, I've gotten no response.
Depending on who you ordered through, some places like KC Tool will handle the warranty replacements for you. Big reason I promote them like I do. Hopefully they’ll get back with you. I cut the screwdriver holders off of several of mine so they’d fit pockets better on tool bags 😅
Mine broke off as well, just the top pin. I ended up using some safety wire to resecure the screw driver holder to the rest of the kit
Mine too
That is the case that comes with the Wera 004172 39-Piece bicycle #3 set. similar to the metric set but with different bits.
First Wera set for me was the 8100 SA/SC 2. I thought it would cover 99% of my needs and be cheaper overall than buying many little sets. Plus the Zyklop Speed is the thing I wanted the most from Wera and I got 2 that way, so...
For you Canadians, get the ToolCheck at Canadian Tire. It's the same price but the one they carry has the Robertson bits.
I think the front pocket would be an ideal place to store a leatherman, a small cobra or some small mole grips to make it a very capable little kit.
I like the Toolcheck plus overall but it comes with one major flaw. The plastic slider on top that is not a good solution because it can accidentally move to one side and the ratchet can fall out. In my opinion the Wera Kraftform Kompakt Zyklop Speed is a good alternative to the Toolcheck plus as it is in the same price/size range and it comes with some advantages compared to the Toolcheck: (1) the Zyklop ratchet is bigger and more versatile than the small ratchet in the Toolcheck and it comes with an extension, (2) the bits are longer and (3) it comes in a textile pouch (better protection from potential fall damage).
With that clip on my Vera Check Tool Plus, the tool would not slip into the pocket on my Veto bag. Without it, it fits perfectly.
Thank you for these videos I dont have a big budget but I like quality and good tools so these videos help form my opinion. I am looking at getting my first set of Wera tools and I really cant decide between this ToolCheck Plus kit or the Wera 8100 SA 1/4 Speed ratchet set, do you have a recommendation or if you could only pick one set what would you pick?
Manufacturing maintenance tech her, this is a great tool.
I’ve been looking at getting a Wera screwdriver, probably the 816 RA, To go along with it should I get this? Or there is the Kraftform kompact H1 wood set which comes with the 816RA and most of the tools in this kit in addition to a few other bits?
I like wera and have the tool check but I don't like the warranty hassle... it's a huge deal for me to be able to bring it into a place close and exchange it on the spot. I've been rethinking about the tools I use and where I can buy them lately because of this
Check out the wera bicycle set 3
more variety of bits
Hi! Looking to add this to my go to bag, i have a question... How did you remove the screwdriver holder on the side?
Can you use Wera bits with impact drivers?
Thanks for making this video.
Love me some Wera goodness....
edit: 10:07 Don't say "standard". That would be very confusing since the *Metric System* is "standard" almost everywhere.
Well… I got roasted in the comments last time I said Imperial lol. People are a mess 🤣
@@MillisConstruction We humans are a fine old mess indeed...
@@MillisConstruction You generalise, sir. I do not consider myself a 'mess', despite originating from an imperial country some seventy years ago. Thankfully, I very soon became fully acquainted with the metric system. How on earth do you subtract 9/16ths from 7/8ths using mental arithmetic? The imperial system is an arcane anachronism akin to witchcraft. I remember my BSA Bantam having six (!) different thread types. Aaaarrrggghhh!
Very informative video btw.
Those bits are nice, but I prefer the diamond ones because cam out of cheap fasteners is the struggle.
The diamond ones are fantastic!
Which one should I get for my first Wera set? Metric or imperial? I can’t decide.
Hey, hope you can help me. I recently purchased what I thought was the tool check plus set on line at Amazon. What arrived was the tool check kit...absent the screwdriver. My mistake. So now I am trying to find JUST the screwdriver, in order to complete my kit. Can you please tell me where to look, etc? Totally frustrated....but it was my error. Iam 80 year old female .....who dearly loves her tools and working with her hands to fix things! thanks.
Im still clueless why they give you security torx AND regular torx. Security Torx bits can be used on non security Torx fasteners.
They shouldn’t when used with real force, when I was early in my apprenticeship as a mechanic I snapped a security Torx thinking they were the same. On low torque applications I’m sure it will work. But if you popped that but into a impact to zap a torx screw out of something that’s proper snug, you risk the possibility to snap it. Not saying you are wrong, just dropping my experience and knowledge on that topic. Cheers sir🍻
Well I guess Imperial is the correct term - the inch system came from us Limeys back in the day huh?
"Imperial" sounds much better than "inch".
I have both imperial and metric. Love them. My only issue is the torx. Why both security and standard. Seems duplicative. Just include the security and they can include a bunch more bits.
That's a GREAT idea. They should have just include the security torx and included more screwdriver bits
I love my toolcheck, I just wish the US one had one more socket clip so I could put a 9/16 on it, as that's such a common size, I wonder if it would be possible to rob a clip off another toolcheck (though that would requiring buying another one just to rob the clip... probably not the best investment) Might have to pick up the metric tool check, even though I have the metric 1/4" zyklop set
I made a clip and added it to my metric so I could put another adapter.
@@VRCM_Skywarn_XUSA Did you just bend some spring steel, or did you start with a clip from something else?
In the UK we say Imperial
Are these bits Impact Rated?
Can you use this kit for a ebike?
If I go standard (vs. metric), can I take out some of the lesser used bits and add metrics? I just don’t want to buy two of these.
Not sure why you caught any flak.
It IS Metric VS Imperial.
Love these kits.
I catch flak for everything 🤣🤣
There are also two Bicycle set versions of this Tool check…
Can you post a link to the Wera tool pouch that fits the Toolcheck?
I couldn’t find it on Amazon, it is available at KC tool though
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎 sorry I'm late Josef
Another term for Imperial is Fractional.
Yeah we say Imperial here in the UK to differentiate from Metric.
It's a British term as we had an empire.
Best site to order Wera Tool’s sir. Let me know thanks in advance.
I get most of mine from KC Tool, I do have links to them and their tool of the day page both in the video description. I get a lot from tool of the day since that is the deal spot for them 😁
It’s nice quality, but expensive for what you get. The best item on it is the bit adaptor.
In the UK we refer to it as Imperial and Metric so I guess Wera, being a German company who's first language is metric, have defaulted to the UK term and haven't rebranded for the US market.
I see why 'Imperial' might be unpopular in the US, it does have connotations of English rule.
I don't call it imperial, I call it wrong ;)
.

Just kidding, if imperial works for you, be happy with it. I grew up with metric so that's what I'll use
We have both here. Literally half the stuff is each one lol
I have bought this set and I am satisfied. Quality is great. But it is very tiny almost like toys. The downside os you cannot put a lot of force on it. Ok for a quick fix, but if you do a serious renovation e.g. you need real tools IMO
I think this is very expensive for what it is..I like the DeWalt set 34 bucks...
That’s because SAE is easier to spell than Imperial. 😝😝😝
This video needs a better auto focus camera. I love the presentation but every time you hold up the bit, I cannot see anything.
This is a Sony ZV-1 in 4k with product showcase settings turned on. Not much I can do without going up to a 5-10k camera and this isn’t nearly at that level of income lol. I do my best 😅
@@MillisConstruction Oh, then you have a very high quality camera, I see it already have Continuous AF. If you're not too fond of figuring out yourself you can ask someone to set it up for you!
yes imperial. or freedom units :)
it would be pretty dumb to call imperial "standard" when almost the entire world uses metric as thier normal measuring system.....
Maybe it’s just me, but the finish on WERA bits is sub-par. They’re rather dull, even the higher-end gold bits. They’re definitely not like PB Swiss’s bits when it comes to fit and finish. I mean, when they advertise the Wera 05057441001 bitorsion bits, it’s a cartoon picture. And their gold bits look nothing like the picture showing bright bits. Just sayin’…
I tend to purchase for function not for how shiny it is.
I disagree, I bought the impaktor set and used it (T25) to take apart a military prefab-shed. All (aprox. 50) bolts completely rusted and full of grime so the bits couldn't seat properly. Somehow they got the job done although taking an absolute beating and needing replacement. Any other average bit and I would've went through 10 or more for sure.
Plus there are tests showing higher strength then other bits.
But I still agree that they're overpriced 😅
Very hard to beat the pb Swiss bits for sure! I’ve yet to break one of those either and I actually have broken a couple wera
Vera? W. W. Wera.
I say Vera.
@@MillisConstruction @JeremyHall That's how the Germans say it because a german "W" is pronounced like the english "V". To carry it a step further: the german "V" is pronounced like the english "F". Meaning, Germans call a Volkswagen car a Folksvagen.
The weird thing about calling it "standard" is that it's about as non-standard as it gets. The entire world is metric, science is metric, everything is metric. Metric is the standard.
hahaha why would you say 'standard' instead of imperial? it's everything BUT standard
Americans tend to say "Standard". 95% of the world say "Imperial" as these aren't standard at all!
The tools check plus is the biggest rip-off I have ever seen! It is literally child sized tool, worth at max a 1/3 of the price. The plastic case at least in the latest revision is cheap and will not last, the ratchet is about the size of my pinky finger, and the screwdriver is the same. BUYER BEWARE!
Also I no longer trust this channel, I suspect it is a paid review
