You have play in your sockets because you’re not supposed to line the hole in the socket with the ball on the 3/8 drive, sounds crazy but if you look inside the sockets themselves you’ll see the indent on the other 3 faces for the ball to sit inside. Hope this helps every 👍🏻
I guarantee you the switching mechanism for the pawl will fail just like on the insulated version i had its made of plastic. Many other people have reported this issue also.
I had not heard that. I love my VDE ratchet which is why I wanted this new non VDE version. I admit that my use of ratchets is generally not heavy use. I use my Milwaukee Impacts for heavier messy jobs.
As you have said on a previous vid, the hole in the socket should not be aligned with the ball-bearing on the ratchet head. If you do that, you get excessive play. Rotate 90 degrees and it's a much tighter fit.
Great video as per usual, I've never seen this new Zyklop ratchet before which is why we love Bzeug! On a seperate note, I can't believe sitting on my coffee table in front of me is Vessel's NEW 900ALWC bit driver handle! Its a 900 series (so its got similar handle to Megadora). Its a new bit retaining mechanism that sadly falls short of both the Centrofix & 810 series Hazets...but its not terrible, has a great BIG non-slip rubber over mould handle and a single tik-tak style pill shaped spring loaded bit retaining bb. If I had an address, I'd have bought one for the channel 😢. I've never had a new Euro or Japanese bit driver in my possession I first didnt see here.
Thank you! Wow I had no idea anyone wanted to send me gifts. I guess I never thought of that. Maybe I'll have to figure out something. I was initially excited about that new 900ALWC when MeuReview posted a review on it and I may aquire one, but right now maybe I'm distracted with Wera new releases.
I've been using mine a bit lately and like it, the bit retention is close to being as good as the Hazet, better than Wera Rapidapter, but Wiha still holds 1st place.
That play is huge and is the reason why I use Gearwrench standard ratchets. At least with the rotating head, for zyklop, there was a reason to use it for some things. This one is a pass for me.
He put the socket on so that the hole on the socket lined up with the ball bearing. It results in a much bigger play. Rotating the socket 90 degrees so the ball bearing goes into the detent on the socket, the play wont be that bad.
Those have been on the market in Japan for a long time. Makita has been bringing some of the green colored outdoor/camping related products to the USA market, but we don't get all the fun colors like they do in Japan. ruclips.net/video/8ulvekdhk5E/видео.html
I love Wera but not the ratchets. Over priced and nasty with real sloppy tolerances. I switch over to the KOKEN…. I love the 72tooth Z-SERIES is so TIGHT and my personal fav The 72 Zeal 3/8 in 1/4 body flex head… And always. Keep up the good work man.
@AquaTech225 it's possible someone didn't put the socket on right. I had a coworker who's sockets kept falling off a impact and didn't know he had to line the ball detent up to secure it.....which is why I prefer a friction ring.
Look it's a 3/8" drive ratchet, it 'should' be good for daily use up to say 150-180ft lbs and if absolutely necessary go to 200-230ft lbs. But really I'm using 1/2" gear over 150ft lbs. Now these are just my guesses, but most modern ratchets exceed DIN standards. I wouldn't worry about it, even what Wera would claim would be far less than failure point. What's more important is common sense from the user, knowing when to use the correct drive size.
I don’t know, I might be wrong but I knew that all black sockets/extentions are impact rated, unless they are manufactured by a shady Chinese company who are trying to deceive you.
Not at all! That is kind of surprising and odd. I think it was aesthetics, but I don't know. I was glad they did put the Impact Rated sockets in this set because I have all the non-impact Wera sockets I want/need. I think helps add some value to the set too.
Please put intended use in the description of your posting. The moment you state 12 gram difference, I think wtf? I was interested in learning about these tools. The information you provided is quite useless. Function is everything! You present as someone that does not use tools for a living. Please put intended use in your descriptions to make it easier to identify relevant posts.
Is that plastic over metal for the handle? Or did I miss that?
Yes. It is not a plastic handle. Plastic over metal.

the fact that people dont know this and still complain about slop is funny as fuck. Idiots among us
One of these just popped up on my Facebook feed and I couldn’t resist snapping it up, but I’m a sucker for anything Wera.
The way you present videos is great bud, please make more! Thanks
Amazing my friend! Congrats for being the first to review it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Although I’d love to have it, I dont see it being any better than my Autozone Duralast Blue composite ratchet.
Great video, interesting set with the impact rated sockets. I like the idea of a comfort ratchet.

Gearwrench is the worst brand known to mankind
@@jwanilpatel3223No it's not
@@jwanilpatel3223I don’t know about it being the worst but it is highly overrated.
Is it also a tooth brush?
When did makita come out with colors

Is the switch on it plastic?
Yes, looks to be the same from the VDE.
Warum fehlt die 23er Nuss?
It seems to me that some VDE tools can replace some of my non VDE tools. Especially if the size, weight, and handling are close.
Isnt availeble in hard box version?
No. I have not seen that.
I love Wera but not the ratchets. Over priced and nasty with real sloppy tolerances. I switch over to the
KOKEN…. I love the 72tooth Z-SERIES is so TIGHT and my personal fav The 72 Zeal 3/8 in 1/4 body flex head…
And always. Keep up the good work man.
The few items I have so far from Japan have impressive quality. I agree the Japanese stuff is top notch.
Wera is, somehow, a lifestyle product with some innovation. When you ask professionals in Germany they go for Hazet or Gedore (blue).
The zyklop with the swivel head is my favorite ratchet. It is so slick. It’s fast too.
What's the point of a rubber-coated ratchet to protect the surfaces where you work and impact sockets in one set?😂
I heard the extensions will only lock wera sockets is that true?
Not true. Locks craftsman an snap on. Least has for me
@AquaTech225 it's possible someone didn't put the socket on right. I had a coworker who's sockets kept falling off a impact and didn't know he had to line the ball detent up to secure it.....which is why I prefer a friction ring.
The head on that ratchet is ENORMOUS. You're not going to fit that in tight spots. Big, clunky ugly looking thing.
Does anybody know what's the torque rating for the ratchet? Even the zyklop ones?
We need the channels that break these to get one and test it. Sorry, I'm not breaking mine.
@@BZEUG Yeah, I emailed Wera as well, no answer.

@@aussiehardwood6196 of course, I wasn't trying to go anal on the numbers alone 😅 It was just a curiosity of mine since Hazet states theirs.
That ratchet is massive.

wera is great on eletrician, mechanic don't want plasticiiiiiiis
Sorry. What is vde? Electrical ( insulated ) or something else
Yes it's the Insulaner stuff
Verband deutscher Elektrotechniker
I'm sure I'm very stupid, but why would Wera sell impact sockets with a hand tool?
Not at all! That is kind of surprising and odd. I think it was aesthetics, but I don't know. I was glad they did put the Impact Rated sockets in this set because I have all the non-impact Wera sockets I want/need. I think helps add some value to the set too.
substantially cheaper to produce
👍
That's one ugly ratchet 👎
Still loved the video and as always waiting eagerly for your next one. 👍
