The tips on these really are impressive. I was surprised when I first got mine , as I pulled away after screwing my fist Phillips the screwdriver stayed in the screw and came right out of my hand. Granted I was not gripping it tightly but I’ve never had that happen with any screwdriver. I have the insulated set and want to get the non-insulated now. And they are as comfortable as everyone says.
Thank you for this. Have seen MANY reviews about these but moving your tool box sold me. I LOVE these screwdrivers and my knipex pliers I know that these are my tools and my co workers joke that they are “funny” looking if you know what I mean, but they always ask to use my drivers 😂
Hey man can you PLEASEEEEEE do a comparison of Milwaukee Shockwave, Makita Gold, and Dewalt Impact bits vs the big boys like Felo impact bits, Wera Impaktor bits, Festool bits and Wiha Terminator bits? I think it would be a great video to show people that the cheap bits might actually cost more than the German ones because they need to be replaced more. Or it could go the other way! I really think it would be great. KCToolCo I'm sure would love to get in on this. Because you do real tests that are actually in depth and complete. Your reviews are the best and most comprehensive by far.
Been using both sets of these for quite a while, and absolutely love them. The ergonomics/general feel of them is extremely comfortable, better than any other I've tried. I also use Wera's "chiseldriver" set for more heavy-duty applications, and they are simply amazing, from simple screwdriving tasks to beating them to death with a hammer and they stand up and do it again. Fantastic tools, worth every penny!
I personally have wera screwdrivers and multi screwdriver set. The antislip laser etching tip faded with in a yr. However, well worth the price. If you only use number 2phillips and 2 slotted screwdriver as most Americans your talking 10$ year. That's not bad. But my screwdrivers still work and I magnetized the tips.
These screwdrivers are the best I have ever used! I have two sets of the green and black version, that laser etching really does work and never strip out the fasteners.
Added some of these after seeing your channel a while back. I buy the 900 series. Love the steel impact cap and the wrench flats under the handle. The price is very low considering. Great screwdrivers.
I'm a Wiha guy, but I think I'm going to pick up one or two Wera's to try out. You should also do a review on a Wiha SoftFinish and/or MicroFinish. Those are really nice screwdrivers! Thanks for the great review :)
WERA are made in the czech rep. , but you wont see that on the box.........HQ in Germany & thats it.........go with Wiha or Felo (stamped with" germany").............:]
I have the micro precision drivers and the chisel drivers. They are by far the best screwdrivers I have ever used! Looking forward to getting the laser tips too.
In Europe they have been out for years now. Bought these 2 sets 4/5 years ago. holding up very well even after me abusing them and on some occasions using them as chisels. Even the lasercut tips are all intact. They weren't cheap though but after time well worth the investment.
Get some of the chiseldrivers to review! they are absolutely the best screwdriver wera makes. i've beat on the same set for years now at work. also have ratcheting RA27 and electrical set with removable blades. would make for a great review to do some torture testing on their chiseldrivers.
The best VDE screwdrivers in the market without a question. Not to mention they are cheaper than other makes like CK, Klein Tools etc. Try and change my mind..
The "non-insulated" screwdriver's handles are actually just as insulated as the insulated. They make the ones with insulated blades because try as you will, your fingers WILL wander onto that blade. Source? I'm an industrial electrician that has gotten hammered more than once because I thought I could just be careful and work on stuff hot, lol.
I have the vde set too for electrical. I also got the stainless steel set, they have a special hardening process to give stainless the same hardness as carbon steel
I have a set of the Craftsman Diamond tipped screwdrivers that MAY be a more comparable tip to these. I looked at the link provided and the prices are decent 👌so I will definitely get a set of these and the 1/4 inch driver. 👍👍 Thanks for the review and if you get your hands on a Craftsman Diamond tip, see if they do the same with the box.
Russ Webster Thanks! The laser tips are one of those things that are really impressive right off the bat.....and had me hooked the first time I tried them out. Prior to that I thought the Wera screwdrivers just had a unique shape & wall mount, but those etched tips are the best part in my opinion.
So at around 1:30 you're saying the exposed shaft doesn't provide any protection... Dually noted. Man your videos are a lot more informative than I thought. Seriously though I am switching all my hand tools over to Knipex, Wera, Wiha, Gedore, and other German brands. After using their bits and a few tools and watching your reviews I have fallen in love. Also been switching to mostly German power tools as well.
Wera screwdrivers are good, well-made, but I cannot buy them in my location (Vietnam). There're completely no Wera dealers or authorized distributors. Poor me!!!!
Fenriz Wulf Thanks! I am not sure, I dont have any of their newer ones. As far as I know, Wera has a patent on the laser engraved tips, so not many others can duplicate those types of results.
the shaft and blades feel light to me . almost like aluminum . I read wera doesn't deal with warranty direct to the customer. they want you to warranty through who you bought them. I suppose they are cheap enough to just toss out if breaks
I've got several different Wera screwdrivers. I love the laser tips. One thing though - I've also got a set of Vessel screwdrivers for when I work on electronics and/or Asian vehicles - they're full of "JIS" type screws...basically the Japanese version of Phillips screws. These Vessel screwdrivers will also pull my toolbox around like you did in this video. Any chance you could do a review on JIS-type screwdrivers?
AKJeeper are these those pain in the ass zinc colored Phillips on Honda’s and Toyota’s? I have a hard time getting those out. If I’m using the wrong tool I’d love to have the correct tool to not strip those damn things out.
Yes, Phillips is the wrong tool. There is nothing wrong with the screws. Vessel or gofast innovations make or sell JIS screwdrivers. They work fine on Phillips, just not the other way around. It is not a good idea to call them “Japanese phillips.” It is confusing. Just say JIS.
Are the shafts on the insulated ones much thicker than the shafts of the non insulated? I'll be working on aircraft electrical systems, so part of me thinks I should get the insulated ones, but then if they're too thick to get in to tight places they may not always work for me. Pulling circuit breakers and disconnecting power is standard practice in aviation so I don't think the chances of being shocked are too high, but if the shafts are a similar thickness then maybe I should get the insulated just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the review!
the "insulated" screwdrivers are rated for "1000v" even tho most will far exceed that voltage range to around 22kv. as a electrician I do not use insulated screw drivers much. one is to never hold the shaft of a screwdriver, you can use electrical tape (old trick) or even plastidip to create a insulation mod. really the point of insulated screwdrivers is to prevent an electrical arc from occurring if you do happen to short circuit something such as if you drop a tool in a panel ect.
Look like some great screwdrivers! Little to pricey for my taste, but maybe i'll see a sale somewhere. For the time being my Milwaukee set will have to carry me. Thank you for uploading!
+TheLukey21 Unfortunately no, i'm bound to the land of "freedom". As if. Any chance you'll take in a kindered soul, his wife, 3 horses, 2 dogs, and 23 cats?
Nice video, I can not believe that the ends is precise made you still miss the video of Wera 932/6 Kraftform plus screwdriver set and I like the price and that continues kepe make as good video men
I love my craftsman professional screw drivers . Definitely loving those laser etched tips tho. I see a dewalt drill. Hopefully a review coming soon? Lol
These Weras are not "phillips" they are ISO 8764-1. ISO 8764-1 was designed to work with phillips, JIS and DIN 5260 and to supersede all three of those standards. Note that the reverse is not true, a true phillips driver will damage an ISO 8764-1 screw. However AFAIK only american companies are still making oldschool drivers. Japan has retired JIS in 2008 and Germany retired DIN 5260 in 2001 and both have switched to ISO 8764-1 so pretty much any cross head screw or driver you get from Asia or Europe now will be made for ISO 8764-1. Like with JIS screws the flatter and more vertical driving surfaces on ISO 8764-1 drivers greatly reduce the tendency to cam out.
They are fine I suppose, but if you can lay your hands on Wera or Wiha Screwdrivers in the same price range - take them. Yeah, yeah blabla. No, seriously, take them. I'm German and if I've the choice between a new 2020 VW Golf and a ~'65 until ~'80 American Muscle Car, do you really think I would chose the German Car? Not over my dead body. But seriously, some Tools from Germany are simple, I wouldn't say "better" but simple smoother overall. Don't let guide you by only "Oh, USA! USA! USA!" because you will settle down for lower standards. For an example, try out Stahlwille or Hazet Ratchets. I'm pretty sure you will be amazed by them. Well, at least if you can life without fast lock on the Hazet but those a warranted up to 1000 Nm (over 700 Pound force per Foot) so ...
+Real Tool Reviews when you pulled your toolbox with it thats what made me wanna pull out my wallet. Ill be going to costco tomorrow as i see them in there the other day for about £18
I see that and I'm calling bs I'm not saying they don't bite I bought a set because of this review and they are far better than any screw driver I ever owned but there is no way they will do this
Everyone says in these review videos that insulated is to prevent you from being shocked. Nonsense. I’ve never used a tool grip that didn’t. Insulated is to keep you from shorting shit esp sensitive expensive parts.
Okay I'm sold. When you moved that tool box my jaw almost hit the floor.
I was about to write this

You have the best tool channel on UA-cam .
I have the micro precision drivers and the chisel drivers. They are by far the best screwdrivers I have ever used! Looking forward to getting the laser tips too.
Going to order some of the insulated ones. Thanks for a nice review and good look at these fine screwdrivers.
Just bought a set of the vde's. Superb quality. Gonna get a normal set and a micro set now.
Welp, I'm definitely sold on these now. That toolbox test was amazing.
TheFlamingChalupa Nice :) You wont go wrong with Wera!
I own 1/4 and 3/8 Wera Zyklop ratchets. They are pretty cool. Very versatile.
Jacob Hunt Nice.....I have the 3/8" metal Zyklop & the 1/2" swivel Zyklop.....I think Wera makes some great tools all across the board!
i got both sets, and they have held up well the past 5 years
salland12 Nice! I didnt even realize that they had been out that long already!
In Europe they have been out for years now.
Bought these 2 sets 4/5 years ago. holding up very well even after me abusing them and on some occasions using them as chisels.
Even the lasercut tips are all intact.
They weren't cheap though but after time well worth the investment.

BrenticusMaximus1 Nice.....I will have to look into them :)
Dude don't even play like that. You know your wife is squatting behind that tool box pushing it around.

All of my screwdrivers are weras now. I love them, especially the slim shank insulated Pozidriv/flat combination #2 driver.
+FoodOnCrack Nice.....yeah I really like WERA.....I have them in the woodshop & garage.
Personally i prefer WIHA (& felo "frico") screwdrivers ( Germany) WERA although great are made in the czech republic........................
This video at 4:05 - 4:55 should = $100 000 a year at least marketing job at Wera. But still awesome video. liked and subbed 👍
Haha nice....thanks!
I find Wiha and PB Swiss screwdrivers more comfortable than Wera. The Lasertip weared down from my flathead Wera within a few weeks.
So at around 1:30 you're saying the exposed shaft doesn't provide any protection... Dually noted. Man your videos are a lot more informative than I thought.
Seriously though I am switching all my hand tools over to Knipex, Wera, Wiha, Gedore, and other German brands. After using their bits and a few tools and watching your reviews I have fallen in love. Also been switching to mostly German power tools as well.
This is a great review! keep up the great work, just bought myself a set of kraftforms insulated.
Joseph Dobrowolski Awesome! I hope you like them!
I have the insulated set in stainless. Love them
Michael Fender Nice!
Would that laser pattern damage screws that you would have to remove and install?
Sir, great sets of tools.
Wow that strong and cool out it grips the head. Cool video
Eric DuPlantier Thanks Eric!
Check out PB Swiss flat blade technology, they flatten the tip to control cam out on standard screws, pretty cool.
BrenticusMaximus1 I will check them out...thanks!
Wera screwdrivers are good, well-made, but I cannot buy them in my location (Vietnam). There're completely no Wera dealers or authorized distributors. Poor me!!!!
