The wera kk might feel hollow but I’m a plumber and I’ve cranked on it for 2 years and it still feels like the day I bought it and the bits are amazing
Thanks for watching and commenting. Sure but there's plenty of alternatives for ratcheting screwdrivers, and others have things that the Wera doesn't like knurling or longer shafts, or even stronger magnets or more bit storage
I’ve had the ordinary Bahco for years and it never fails. I also have their T Handle 1/4” drive version which unwinds screws that have been driven home hard by an impact driver with ease. I recently had to gain access to an external plant room housing the boiler in an empty Manor House. The whole building was empty and had been secured by my colleague, all windows/doors had security panels covering them. My colleague gave me a special bit to undo the fixings, I put it in my T Handle socket and took all the security screws out no problem.
Fantastic video. This took a lot of time. You really know your details, this is the in-depth info I was looking for, thanks for helping me figure out what to get!
The Xiaomi 16-in-1 is still a Wiha collaboration I believe. It even uses Wiha's double-sided bits which I'm a big fan of, though I prefer the handle design of the 8-in-1. Wish it was still available.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The 16 in 1 is not a Wiha collaboration and the bits don't have Wiha on them, they also don't match the dimensions of the Wiha bits even if they're double sided by a few mm
Awesome Review. Just need to add the Felo Ergonic Ratcheting Pivoting Scredriver it has no long shaft but it is by far my favourite ratcheting screwdriver. Also the Gearwrench 8940 40 pc ratcheting screwdriver set is not bad its kind of their knockoff of the snap on, it just came off feeling a little cheap.
@@htr5372 I highly recommend that felo ergonic pivoting ratchet screwdriver. Its very different than others. The grip is unbelievable and the ratchet is so precise. When I bought it, it became my go to over all my other high end brands from the US, Germany, Japan.
The Wera kk might feel worse than the shorter Wera probably because it has on board bit storage so it might be a harder material. Where the shorter Wera doesn’t have that so they could probably use a softer material on the grip. I noticed my Wera kk has quite thin walls on the handle around the bit storage so I figured they probably used a stiffer rubber for rigidity who knows!
The snap on soft grip is my favorite the ergonomics are great. And you can swap out the shafts which is a game changer. I like the PB Swiss also. 90% of my Screwdrivers are now PB Swiss love the Swiss grip
Amazing comparison and breakdown! Thank you very much! I prefer to use friction tape to hockey tape, but to each their own. I’d also recommend snap ons more expensive ratcheting screw driver with the over molding. It’s expensive, but can be found on the secondary market for 30-40 range if you’re not in a hurry. It’s got the best grip of any ratcheting screw driver for my hands (x-large size, which also makes their stubby the best ratcheting stubby for me personally).
Yeah, disappointed with the Wera KK bitholding that handle is not as grippy as the other considering how bulky it is. Not keen on Gedore switch…sometimes you have to get the gear right to get it working properly.
Ive had many mentioned here and broke many, the newer snap on is nicer to use btw and has interchangeable bit holders, short, long, 1/4 square. worth trying. Dont use any anynore though, just a drill/impact driver/cordless ratchet. And for the price of battery tools today this could be more cost effective and they're certainly more versatile
Thanks for watching and commenting. Many of these ratcheting multi bit are very durable and I have yet to see them break even under professional use (they require a huge amount of torque to break which is simply not possible for the majority of people). The newer Snap On Instinct ratcheting is simply overpriced and not really worth the money in my opinion. As for price or cost many of these in the review aside from the LTT, PB Swiss, Snap On are quite good value for the money. Definitely cheaper than what a drill or impact sells for even versus a cordless ratchet.
SNAP-ON SSDMR8BO also PALMERA 530250 also (trilobular handle mid development with instinct) JH Williams WRS-1 also ACESA 9410.00040 These are the more popular, but better screwdrivers made by Snap-on are actually those with trans-drive mechanism and modular such as SGDMRCE with interchangeable blades and accessories and something similar also under Gearwrench made in China spin off and again Matco, but only main modular system perhaps.
Thank you for a good video (as always).....so if I understand you correctly, out of all of these, it sounds like its the Gedore with bits that you recommend the most?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I really do like the Gedore, the version without bits is also my daily driver. I usually carry a bit set along with it. It's hard to really beat the lowest backdrag offered by the licensed Rolgear ratchet.
All these Wera handles are very slippery and their shape is very uncomfortable to manipulate. The bigger one is also toooo thick, so you can not get good grip because of it. Those engineers who created that shape, are idiots, who never tried to work with them. On my opinion WIHA has right ergonomic shape.
could have sorted these better grouping them by similarity i liked the breadth of content could have been cut down even more would also have appreciated timestamps/chapters also the mix quality was figger up halfway through
Thanks for watching and commenting. I already reviewed it prior to this. When this was filmed I no longer had the Gearwrench. If you're referring to the Taiwanese rebranded version then the Bahco and Oemtools are in it's place with little to no differences.
@@soaringbumnm8374 The review is for the Gearwrench 8940 40 piece set which has the long interchangeable shafts. However yes you're correct there is no sockets included only standard 1/4" bits in C6 standard. Gearwrench has a bigger set but it's less complete in terms of handles, part number 82779
@@groszi The bits are sourced from various manufacturers by Wurth with color coding. Most likely from Taiwan or from Wera, or others. Perhaps even from Felo since Felo is part of the Wurth group of companies
I still have my GearWrench ratcheting screwdriver from 20 years ago 🥰still works beautifully to this day, and the bit cap still falls off as easy as it did after a year of wear 🥲
