I bought my son a couple of the larger ones, as he is doing a mature industrial electrical apprenticeship (he's 29). He finds them really good for SWA cable glands and one of the older sparks he works with who's probably got 25-30 years experience was amazed at how much time they have saved. He has forked out for some as well. I have the smaller ones and find them really good for some jobs, but they don't take over from a decent combi wrench in a workshop setting.
In the right application they look like they would be great, the tripod test though really needs a socket of a dedicated spanner due to the space limitations
I’m a level 3 electrician apprentice and have used the M joker for cable tray and anything 9/16 and the L for 3/4” bolts. Haven’t used the smaller ones yet but have been using them for a month since I’ve got the set
For that application the wera nut drivers with hollow shaft are better. A spanner is for torque and thay won't deal with torque without rounding the head
I’ve been using these for cable tray and had to drill our own holes, they definitely do torque a fair amount, they are better than other self adjusting open ended designs, like husky destroyed the nuts but ther wera joker did a bit better and rarely slipped off or rounded the nuts. If you really need torque tho you should use the proper tool like a socket wrench or torque wrench
It’s a nice concept but are too bulky. The knipex really thing monkey wrench is much better. If you can loads of space then it’s definitely these. But if you got loads of a space a Bacho adjustable is just as good
here is another unoxing type review of them czcams.com/video/VwZzXVtEyjw/video.html i think the short answer is to try to keep using them and over time see how much action they really end up getting. personally i have a heck of a lot of wera tools already. but some they just dont get picked up and actually used. and just forget they are there. (some more than others). then i will pick it up and there isnt really anything to complain about. its just not in that muscle memory of immediate convenience / or stands out as being the most obvious choice etc.

Why not use them for a month or two before doing the vid

These look absolutely super for tightening strut straps when running conduit! Industrial electricians where are you at?? Imma have to go buy these.
Strut straps as in cobra clips? Yeah they work great but if I have the room I use a half inch nut driver
I used them for the fittings on over 300’ of gas line the other day! Worth! Every! Penny!
You can get the maxi one that does 22mm compression fittings. I got that set plus big one worth every penny. Good review👍

They're a great look to a tool bag but apart from that I've used my set 3 times I'd say in 2 years. More for the tool tart then for practical use.

Wera always great quality albeit a tad expensive at times.
Worth every penny love em
They do a 24-32mm one of these, do you think if you had 2 of them they would be any good for small armoured glands like 20s/20?
Was looking for a review of this, then I stumbled upon this one! Cory?
Hey Cory! great to see you on here too 😄
Hey hey!
The only reason I wouldn’t buy them is because they are too small for what I need them for 30mm-32mm bolts is mainly what I work with
I've been using the Wera Tool Check Plus for many years, both for DIY and motorcycle tinkering, great kit apart from some rust on the hex bits.

whats the deal with people not popping the orange plastic circle out of their bahco adjustables
They obviously belong to the orange bung club.
It's a fine tradition amongst plumbers - guilty myself
Corey version - better, less like an infomercial than before.
I would rather have a good ratchet wrench with sockets and a set of combination wrenches.
Can we see these used on a swa gland please guys
I will try this as a short 👍
Did this ever get shown, as trying to looking at these being used for swa before I purchase. 👍🏼
Is this Corey from Artisans?
Yes. Tools4Sparks is an Artisan Electrics channel.
Why not show them at work?
Tools 4 Sparks, is more just table reviews. We use some of these tools on site on the main channel 🙌
Intro blew my ears out
Soz!
It’s a nice concept but are too bulky.
The knipex really thing monkey wrench is much better.
If you can loads of space then it’s definitely these.
But if you got loads of a space a Bacho adjustable is just as good
Overpriced overrated 👎👎
Agreed. Seeing him use it on that nut looked like too much of a faff. I much prefer the look of a plier wrench.
