In my humble opinion I think the bit check set would be the best introduction to Wera tools. The sockets, bits, and drivers equal a little sampling of more of Wera's offerings. The screwdriver you featured has an end that doesn't work well in confined spaces and has a hard time with screws that are recessed deeper.
I've loved tools since I was a little kid. Somewhere in my 20's or 30's I decided most of the tools I saw in stores were pretty close to pretty trash. So, I didn't really care what I'd use anymore. If I found something I liked I'd add it. People at work would giggle at me when they'd see me terminating network keys with cabinet door hinges. But man, since finding this community I'm building or rebuilding a lot of tool kits I set up for myself in the past. I'm older now, so having a smallish bag that covers a mix of home repair type stuff makes me so happy. I don't have to take multiple trips to the garage as much. Little things don't get pushed back because I didn't have the "right" wrench or screwdriver. I love tools again. There are new worlds of tools out there. AND My Wife understands tools are an investment. Tools are part of a smart persons Home, up there with good appliances.
New subscriber to your channel. Great video and super informative. I have just purchased one of these and know it will make my life so much easier. First Wera product I purchased was the clip in electrical screwdrivers and they are life changing. I am obsessed with the Wera quality. Worth every penny in my opinion. Keep it up and thank you good sir. 👍🏻
I only got to know about Wera tools from a post showing Wera's participation in a hot air balloon event. I love tools and DIY jobs around the house and where i come from, my local hardware store has a whole bunch of China imports of tools. But nothing caught my eye like how the KK25 did. I am seriously considering purchasing this even though an equivalent costs literaly hundreds less (in my local currency that is). thanks for the review. my wallet hates you now.
Wera.......I think their best one is their allen key set. It can grip and loosen rounded hex bolt that my other allen keys can't. You should check them out :)
Very good review on this screwdriver, I have this one and works great for me. The lasertip drivers are awesome, I have them in the vde insulated version. In the bit world, a very good alternative is the wera diamond. They are very similar to the lasertip, but I think more durable. The laser etching is wear off after some use, but it is not a deal breaker for me. But the diamond bits are very good for powertool use.
The diamond bits are their impact bits i believe, and i have heard good thing about them. :). The laser tip does start to wear a bit, but they still work pretty good for me, I'm sure they could improve it.
@@ParklanCustom I have the BC 30 diamond bit set and is not impact rated, it comes with the original rapidaptor. But they are available in the impact version. The laser tip is a cheaper solution, it's working fine for me. Wera makes good quality bits and screwdrivers.
@@fuloplehel ohhhh, I thought the diamond bits were all impact rated! Thanks for the heads up, I agree, Wera does make good bits, i need to check out those diamond bits!
Nah, it doesn't seem special compared to an excellent Klein multiscrewdriver. Now, the Wera *KK 10 Compact Bitholder and Bit Set;* and the Wera *Tool-Check Plus Bit Ratchet Set* with Sockets , either of those are really interesting.
In my humble opinion

The bit check plus would be a great introduction to Wera. Its like a sampler platter. Only downside is the price point is pretty hefty.
I have one, it’s like a 007 screwdriver, although picquick seem stronger and better all around, these wera are nice and small in the pocket

There certainly is a rabbit hole to fall in, in the world of tools. I hope this channel has helped in any way! Thanks for sharing!

I have the Hex Key set in both metric and imperial, and they are absolutely awesome like you say!
Better than the ratcheting driver?
No, but its significantly cheaper.

Looks like the LTT screwdriver is similar to this one
You do very nice reviews--informative and fair!
Thank you!
Also known as the “ James Bond “ driver !
Bought it based on your review, now my coworkers are jealous 😅
As they should be lol!

Nope…not for me. I prefer PB Swiss.
