- The Wera Bicycle 3/8” Drive Zyklop Ratchet Set is an interesting kit! I picked it up on Tool Of The Day at KC Tool awhile back and got it probably at a better price than even just the ratchet by itself which is what I really wanted. Wera really went all out on this one with the twist lock socket holders for everything and a very secure method of holding everything else as well. It’s turned out to be a lot handier as an actual set than I really first expected. Check it out at the links below and be sure to also check and see what is on tool of the day with KC tool. It changes every day!

Impressive how much engineering is behind Wera's products. Every detail seems to be covered, even those one didn't think about it!
I just got the sae 3/8” set and added a 10mm, 15mm, 17mm and 19mm into the set. I gotta say these ratchets remind me of snap on ratchets. Very quiet very nice. The wobble extension also locked if you push the socket down more. The set I have doesn’t have the twist off rail but I’ve also gotten the metric socket sets on the “wera socket belts” and they are amazing, you can bend them and stick them anywhere in your veto bags. Those soft socket rails are twist locks.
You forgot to mention the Rapidaptor also has that movable sleeve on it that you can grab onto, and the extensions as well as sockets have knurling on them so you can use them by hand if you so desire. 😉
This is a pretty neat set. I’m Looking forward to seeing ALL of your wera tools 🛠
It’s a coming up!
Nice purchase MC! I do get a bit surprised at the inconsistency of Wera with these sets. I have a standard 3/8 Zyklop set, but it doesn't have the twist lock, but it does have the socket sizes neatly stitched in above each socket. My 3/8" drive deep sockets I purchased did come on a twist lock rail. The 1/2" drive Zyklop socket set does have twist lock holders for the socket.There never seems to be a pattern as to which of their tool sets has the twist lock and those that don't. Still great tools mind you.
The first time I saw socket rails like that were in a Tekton set. I was just as impressed as you were. Great videos!
They’re just plain cool! I like it!
i recently purchased wera combination box end wrenches, both metric an sae and i must say, i am impressed...... i may be adding this socket set soon..
3/8 is a little big and hardcore for bicycle
Because it allows you to force more torque to the bolts and bicycle bolts don't need that much torque. I think the 1/4 is a better size for bicycle maintenance
I agree with this. 3/8" is way too big for general bike maintenance especially since this kit doesn't come with any way to measure torque. I built an entire road bike from separate components using mostly a tiny 3.5" hex bit wrench. As far as I can remember, there are only 2 parts (at least on my bike) that uses a 10mm and an 8mm that would probably benefit from a 3/8". But for general bike maintenance, all of the fasteners that are 6mm and smaller are all only 4nm to 6nm torque.
@@francisfaustino yup
Well better overkill then under. Frame bearing bolts are big and some go from 30-40nm. Crank bolts can be even 50nm. Crank chinch chainrings 40nm
WOW That Case! The way it lays out, is very impressive !
It’s hard to beat Wera for making fantastic packaging for sure!
@@MillisConstruction yeah! Next level fit and Finish
Thanks almost missed this one Josef 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎 you might want to make that Wera video a series😂🤣😂
Can’t miss em!!! After all the trouble to get a snazzy thumbnail this time too!
@@MillisConstruction it is snazzy😂🤣😂
It's the details that matter
Wera need to pay you,another good video.
I wish! I’ve reached out several times with no response 😅 oh well! I talk about things I like anyway, it’s all good!
Man, I dig that alot.
Same same!!
If you are looking for a low profile ratchet check out the Wera - 8003 B Zyklop Metal Ratchet 3/8 Full Metal Ratchet push through square.
I wonder if the twist n lock rails are available by themselves. If so, I will get a drawer load of them. That's ingenious.
Yes, you can buy the twist lock rails separately and populated with sockets. They are available as either a fabric base with a clip to hang them from a tool bag or magnetic base to clamp onto a metal cabinet etc. Available in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" drive with the holders in a straight line or in a shorter version with two sets of holders side by side.
The link is to a UK shop, but gives you an idea what is available. Pretty pricey mind you!

Do you like the speed ratchet overall more than the metal Zyklop
Most of those sockets are redundant on a bike these days. The highlight of the set is the 10 and 8mm hex sockets but any compitent mechanic will already have those.
Depends a lot on how old and how cheap the bikes are you work on.
Does it fit in the side pocket of the tp xxl?
starts @ 3:00
Missing longer extension - shock tubes / socket for the cap top of the shock.
What? No chain whip/pedal tool?
Nipple tool/valve stem tool.
Wouldn't their A6 1/4" set be better for bicycles/e-bikes?
Possibly, I don’t do bikes though and bought this for other uses 😅
I don't think so, the only other set that might be just as good for bikes but provide a bit more flexibility for other purposes as well is the 8100 SB 2, but it costs $100 more, but comes with a nice sturdy metal case
How much did you get this for?
$159 I believe

Are you a biker? I went and checked out that channel 😁🔥 🚲
@@MillisConstruction i ride my bike every day. Tool kit looks great for taking on the trail. Id almost expect a pocket for patches and possibly an extra strap for a mini pump.
Im in waterloo ontario. The #hydrocut has 20kms of trails
@@dylanjamesryan9432 that sounds really enjoyable. There are a lot of hiking trails at the state parks that I kayak at as well. I really like to fish and kayak personally but I do bike some with my kiddos.
255 bucks? For a plastic ratchet and sockets? I like Wera but no thanks.
I paid $159
@@MillisConstruction I got the 255 from Amazon. But 159 is a great price.
@@rjskum688 the tool of the day page on KC can be awesome 😅
@@MillisConstruction I'm gonna have to check that out. Thanks for fueling my tool addiction lol. Jk thanks.
You really need to hurry up gettin rid of those old inches and pounds and other ridiculous stuff. Inch-pounds and what not.
Every little place used to have their own different units and nobody knew what the other guy was talking about and now only two or three countries are lagging behind the rest of the world. You are one of those 2 or 3. Get a move on it is ridiculous.
Would be nice but I don’t see it happening unfortunately. Makes it where we need nearly double the tools
Am I the only one who finds wera tools atrociously ugly?
"I am not a bicyclist" Cute, only non-cyclists would say bicyclist 😉🚳🚲
I’m sure! I know nothing beyond fixing my kids bikes 🤣
