In this video I share with where I bought them, how much they cost, andgo over the features and how they compare to other Wera and Vessel Screwdrivers. Just wanted to share my thoughts in case it helps.
Hope it was useful & THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Who told this poor man about Amazon in other countries 😂
I know it… didn’t thing I’d ever buy anything in Yen 😂
Living in the U.K., I will purchase items from other countries because it can be cheaper.
Cool. I was just comparing Wera drivers to the Vessel ball ones and here is the Frankenstein. You get the cool look of the Wera with the ergonomics of the ball...mind blown.
I just wish they were easier to get… but they are really nice.
What's cool about the Wera grip ( not the ball type) is if you take a decent size lump of clay and just squeeze it in your hand the resulting shape is the Wera handle
Yeah, it’s fits my hand pretty well. I assume if you have a small or large hand it might not fit as well… but I only know my hands 😂
I purchased the vessel electric screwdriver. It’s an absolute game changer. It’s now my goto handle. I had to get it from Japan because I wanted specific spec, features and colour.
You are one of several that have mentioned how much they like those. It would probably be handy to have… keep you from having to always whip out a impact/drill just to be faster.
I bought the vessel ball-handle driver for two reasons. First was it came with different triangle bits (Japanese style) and the second was to use the Klein multi hex impact drivers because the Klein handle is too big.
That’s why I bought my first Vessel, I needed a bit for my wife’s Honda car. I didn’t like it at first because it was different, but when I gave the ball a shot I began to like it a lot.
@@MORGANSMaintenance ha! I bought it for my Honda SxS!
I've got the PH2 100mm in black and red, it's great the colour inserts are now solid and the black part is the grippy bit.
Don’t steal my thunder 😂😂
Yeah I really like them… more than I even expected.
Good vid , good product and not a bad price ... Thx for doing these vid 's ...
Appreciate you watching and commenting … I like talking back and forth with people about tools. I don’t have very many “tool nuts” around me in my every day life.
The Screwdrivers are priced great, if you didn’t have to pay shipping I would buy them all 😂
I'm not using the ball grip much, but my girlfriend sure is.
I see what you did there...
I like that marking on those markings on the screwdrivers.
There are no Wera bits with Lasertip finish. Probably they would wear out too fast when used in an impact or a drill driver.
Yeah that’s what I thought after I said it, I bet an impact would eat those off pretty quick.
I really like my screwdrivers to be marked on top of the handle.
Im sure you already know I'm a huge fan of my Vessel ratcheting driver! It's my number one go to, thanks to you!
I've gotta give they Wera a try for sure now!
Make sure you get a Laser Tip 👍
@@MORGANSMaintenance Absolutely!
I know what I'm ordering next pay day! Thanks for letting me know about these!
You are welcome… glad I could help 👍
@MORGANSMaintenance I got mine in today. I found a seller that had 6 for $123 including tax, and free shipping. They did take a while to ship (ordered on April 29th), but once they did it arrived in about 4 days.
@@homelee665 Yeah I wish I would have looked at ordering more.
I will probably get most of the available options next go around.
Hope you like them… I really like mine 👍
I just ordered the vessel electric screwdriver. I recently switched jobs from property maintenance to electrician. Looking for a switch back (building up that resume). But got it to use in electrical trim out. Figures i get it and we start to do rough in for at lest a month.
I’ve been eyeballing one of those. Many people have told me they like them, you will have to let me know how it works out for you.
Obsessed with your reviews , please try a bacho adjustable spanner or rothernburger adjustable(from uk hvac engineer) they’re essentials here
Thanks for the suggestions.. I really do appreciate them 👍
Is there a certain model of the Bahco you prefer?
@@MORGANSMaintenance the bacho 8 inch adjustable (WIDE JAW) wrench/spanner is a staple in my tool kits would love to see you do a review on one think you’d really like it especially because they’re so popular over here they also do a slim jaw version
@@oscarveal8442 👍
Laser tips for the win!
They are the best part for sure 👍
I just purchased a Vessels new Ball bit driver . I heard you mention youd like to see them offer a bit driver & now that have it. I also bought their new Electric Ball driver that has better speed (3) speeds and good torque = kind of a mix of the original and the high speed version.
I just saw that Vessel with the bit driver today and added it to my list. I’ve just been using the Tang Thru and putting one in it.
I’m not sure how much I would use a battery powered one, but maybe it would save me from always carrying a drill 🤔
@@MORGANSMaintenance I think this new electric driver will be a better mix of speed & torque than the previous versions. - I hope so. I dont do repetitive work often but when we have a big project I think this would be great. I'll let you know
Try the Anex 397? It’s fantastic.
I’ve got that in my Amazon list, want to try it eventually.
Appreciate the suggestion 👍
It be awesome if it be insulated and with a interchangable ecx and slotted bit
Yeah maybe one day they will make those… I think these came out in October based on the listing, so they are fairly new.
Interesting, not seen these from Wera. May be if there are enough purchases from Japan, Wera will make them available in other locations. I have some of the Vessel ball grip drivers and also some Gedore Power-Grip screwdrivers that are great for getting extra purchase with.
Yeah I randomly saw them scrolling you CZcams. I think the channel was BZUEG or something like that.
Gedore is another brand I haven’t tried yet but have seen a lot of when I scroll through websites.
@@MORGANSMaintenance I thought your video was a BZEUG one in the thumbnail because he was talking about the ball grip and I wanted to know more about them. :)
@@gf2e yeah his channel is where I saw them.
This might be a way for me to get JIS tip screwdrivers. Lol only some people know what JIS is lol
I bought one specifically to work on my wife’s car… I haven’t really needed one other than that
do you happen to have a malco connext1 2 or 3 handle? I really like it for a final torque-down but I only have impact bits.. I also have a Vessel ratchet which has been great. The only issue with handles to contrast with their versatility is that they don't fully provide a sense of 'completeness' that a singular screwdriver provides
I don’t have any Malco handles unfortunately.
Are you talking about ball handles… or the Malco for the issue?
I am a person that prefers dedicated screwdrivers, but I try to keep multiple use ones in my service type bags just to stay light and save room.
@@MORGANSMaintenance oh I am just nitpicking handles in general although they are not negatives outside of tactile differences. The vessel ratchet has a very nice feel.. very similar to a dedicated driver. As you mention, a few solid drivers and everything else covered by handles and bits takes care of everything in a small package. I have liked the malco connext1 so far.. solid design and a classic grip
@@RagedContinuum 👍
KCTool has some Wera laser tip bits.
Thanks I will go and check those out 👍
Looking forward to this one…
👍.. they are pretty sweet.
@@MORGANSMaintenance actually look forward to all of them…😝
@@brianhall9019 I was going to put it out tomorrow but we are supposed to have bad storms tonight… I figure we may not have power or internet
Same here in western Va
@@brianhall9019 You all stay safe… we’ve been hit pretty hard in my area with storms in the last few years
My main complaint with these is the limited size selection. Why make red and green +2 but no #3 or -8?
Yeah I’m not sure about the colors either. Hopefully they will come out with more in the future
At 8:52 of this video; may I know what is that stubby driver head connected to your Klein flip sockets please?thank you
It’s the Vessel Tang Thru Screwdriver
Amazon Link - amzn.to/3MoJatB
Video - czcams.com/video/MHkGLaak6pU/video.html
Thank you so much . I am using a 6 in 1 Klein stubby head for that flip sockets :) it will because smaller :) nice to see different ideas out there
@@pgymylin 👍
I'm an engineer and designer: I build my own handles that fit my hands using PB Swiss blades. It's the best thing and they're unique.
That would be nice. It’s cool that you can do that 👍👍
Do these have Wera’s JIS type Phillips or standard Phillips?
Mine are a standard P2 and P1… I’m not sure if they sell a JIS version
…guess I’m setting up an Amazon Japan account now.
It’s a rabbit hole 😂… be careful
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
👍👍👍 Appreciate it Buddy
So are they made in Japan then or cz
I am not 100% sure… I don’t remember seeing it on them anywhere and they didn’t really have any packaging.
I believe they are Made in the CZ with the rest of the Screwdrivers, but just for the Japanese Market. They have some other Japan models as well. I will check them out close tomorrow and see if I see anything on them that I just didn’t notice.
@@MORGANSMaintenance It's just strange that a European tool would only be available in an Asian market and yet still made in CZ but I would be ok with either place. I just got a few Vessel's and I really like the feel of them in the hand. You can grip it anyway you want and they just feel comfortable. Thank you
@@GS-lh2nx I did just check and it doesn’t say anywhere on the Screwdriver.. or on the little bit of packaging… so 🤷♂️
@@MORGANSMaintenance they are made in CZ, these ball grip screwdrivers are at first made only for the Japanese market, if sales goes well they will be release world wide and add to the Wera catalog. last year the red and white was a succes so this year they made the ball grip and I know they are working on an other edition for Japan only.
@@victorlp2075 👍… thanks for the info… good to know
Oh lord. Ive mad a japan account and got it loaded with wera ball grips and koken and vessel stuff. Crazy how much cheaper it is. All the koken stuff in my cart is literally half price compared to koken usa
Yeah I have ordered twice now. You definitely get more bang for your buck the more you put in your cart. It’s the shipping that cost quite a bit, so the more you get per shipment the better value it is.
@@MORGANSMaintenance I haven't even checked shipping yet I'm kinda scared too lol. About to find out
What the hell you can get blue point and snap on stuff on there if ya wanted. No need to get mine from Japan but that's cool. American amazon sucks, and shipping was like 30 something for my smaller order and 160 when I had a couple big socket sets in my cart. Thats doable, dropping next week's checks over to japan
@@DownHillgamer yeah some tools are still cheaper with shipping and some aren’t. My 2nd order I started out with one item and as I added more the shipping was only going up by a few bucks.
Anytime there is something I for sure am going to order, I go ahead look around for other stuff to throw in to spread the shipping (making me feel better 😂). If you only order one item, the shipping is a little high.
Hope it all works out. I love the WERA ball grips.
