Once again, came cross these shopping for fathers day and found the below for great prices. Lowest I've seen tracked on CamelCamelCamel.

$46.40 Wera 3950/9 Hex-Plus Multicolor Stainless 1 Hex-Plus Stainless Metric 1 L-Key Set 9 Pieces, 9 Pieces

$38.98 Wera 967/9 TX Multicolor HF 1 TX HF 1 L-Key Set with Holding Function 9 Pieces, 9 Pieces

The Wera range seems to have been taken off the Bunnings online store. :(

These are typically are around the $80-90AUD mark Retail at RS/Bunnings.
Can stack with 3% off GC + ~~the 6% on Home via Shopback. or go into Bunnings for 10%PB~~
$41.90 @ Bunnings via Price Beat 10% - Receipt here

Bunnings 92.90
Bunnings 73.90

Other than the top quality. I have been using these and other Wera variants and can vouch for the features. The Hex plus heads/ Torx friction function and holder clip make this a standout vs other L keys from Wiha / Bonhus / PB Swiss keys etc.

Someone did a review on these already.

    I have bought a set of each. They are almost half of the retail price. Thanks

  • RubenM on 16/08/2020 - 20:51

    I'd love to buy quality tools, but I just don't look after things enough, so it would be a waste of money for me.

    • langthang on 16/08/2020 - 20:54

      They still have the quality. Cheap tools are shit, even if you look after them well :)

    • pegasusx on 16/08/2020 - 21:00

      These take a pretty good beating. Especially the Inox stainless steel coating.

      The only weakness of these L-keys are….toddlers. I've got 3 mixed sets from lost keys as, these are colourful and my daughter thinks they are toys. :(

      • payton on 16/08/2020 - 21:17

        for me personally, I won't use these tools frequently enough to justify, or undo/tighten the same screws frequently enough for it to get damaged. Good price tho.

  • lumiere on 16/08/2020 - 21:20

    I don't think these will qualify for cashback with Shopback or Cashrewards. They are likely to fall under Home Improvement or Tools.

  • CheapGit on 16/08/2020 - 21:49

    Good price for the Wera keys but I'll stick with my PB Swiss keys, been using the same set last 7yrs without issue and they get used at work everyday.
    Also I believe Wera class hex keys as consumables so the warranty isn't great on them compared to other brands.

    BTW that video compares not only a much cheaper quality but also shorter hex key to the Wera.
    Wonder why he didn't use a similar quality and length key for the comparison?
    Everyone knows a crap quality Hex key will round out the head.

    • pegasusx on 16/08/2020 - 22:10

      Wasnt aware of the Wera warranty. I have a set of the PB Swiss short hex keys from almost 10 years ago.
      I gave them up as they started to surface corrode and eat into the surface. Used them on MTB pack / trips so wasnt exactly taken care of…my fault I guess sometimes packed away in wet /sweating packs :(

      Also about the other test. I think he did tons of other tests as well. Not exactly full range like Project farm but here is one against top of the range Bonhus set.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRZjNYGHeRQ&t=454s

      • CheapGit on 16/08/2020 - 22:31

        Yep keeping them in moisture wouldn't help.
        Not sure on Bondhus being top range, there is a reason we get given them at work (cheap) and my sets always end up in the household kit ;-)

        Though I'm gonna try a set of these Wera at this price see how they go.

      • truetypezk on 17/08/2020 - 00:32

        PB Swiss has a lifetime warranty, give it a try and you might be pleasantly surprised. I find these high quality European tool manufacturers are pretty good with their warranty, probably due to their high profit margin.

        I have a set of Elora sockets and the ball head on the ratchet become stuck due to oil & dirt getting inside. Apparently Elora doesn't have any presence in Australia so I emailed them asking whether I can buy a replacement ball head and how much it costs. To my surprised they told me don't worry about it and they will send one to me completely free via DHL.

    • truetypezk on 17/08/2020 - 00:23

      PB Swiss and Wera aren't exactly targeting the same crowd I think, more like comparing Hilti with Dewalt.
      Personally I made the jump from Bondhus to PB Swiss directly without trying out Wera or other mid-range Allen keys and don't have any complaints about PB Swiss. I like getting the best tools for the job so I know that if there is any problem it is my OWN problem rather than my tools.

    anyone found anything worth adding to get it over the $49 minimum?

    • MarcusJones on 16/08/2020 - 23:30

      I tried buying both but still wanted to charge postage… so will give it a miss (I have both sets already, just figured at that price I’d get a second)

      • Harold Halfprice on 17/08/2020 - 08:07

        Yeah on closer inspection doesn't look like these are Amazon prime listings. Doesn't say anywhere that they qualify for free shipping over $49…

        OP should update title…

        • BlitzR on 17/08/2020 - 09:01

    No holding function on hex set, be careful when buying. Wera does make them in HF. Overall, great brand. You can buy them cheaper but not a lot. For this you would need to buy in Germany, or on some specific online places which most of the Australians will not have access to (to tricky to monitor their free delivery).

      Adam Savage did a video about his favorite T-bar hex from Bondhus. youtu.be/8TJcFbu7gWE

      I've never owned T-bars myself as I mainly have portable compact tools. But these would be the products you are looking for.

      Wera TBar Hex Set
      Has the signature Wera human form handles + holding function.

    What the tx version for? Is it the imperial? Do we use that in Aus? Did do a quick google search didn’t come up with anything notable.

      tx for torx

      Yes, I've price matched previously on another Wera kit and had no issues.

        I dont think it really requires manager approval as some of their team members like to say. All you need is to find a helpful guy. Dont waste your time arguing, if a particular guy doesnt wanna price match, just buy it at regular price and try again next time/at a different store. As long as it is not a very transient promo you should be fine.

    • Sir Flabo on 17/08/2020 - 13:27

      I just had Bunnings price match but it wasn't easy. One lady said they don't price match online only stores and another said that they had to include the shipping (~$12).
      The best way (if you have prime) is to use your mobile to go to the website and add the item into your cart, that way it shows up as free shipping and you get the price beat :)

      I ended up paying ~$41

    • Srey on 18/08/2020 - 13:54

      Just bought both the metric hex and torx set from Bunnings Alexandria. Tool shop guy said he didn't think the price difference itself was an issue, but needed to get approval from a higher up on beating Amazon.
      Made the call, got the OK, and explained that I was getting free shipping due to prime so they excluded the shipping cost too.

      Really happy with this, a few of my old Bondhus hex set are pretty munted and this bargain stops me from going and spending too much on a set of PB Swiss.

    • nosebleef on 19/08/2020 - 20:57

      I tried in Belconnen ACT. The guy said he wanted to "go nuts" on the request to price match an item being imported from the uk and wouldn't consider .com.au good enough.. I gave up, wasn't worth the effort.

  • RIPwallet on 16/08/2020 - 23:26

    Do we need to pay import duties/tax when we buy from Amazon UK/US?

    • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 08:47

      There are made in the Czech republic. Their torque wrench line are made in the UK.

  • Westpac on 17/08/2020 - 00:29

    What is home via shopback? I usually just try find amazon.com on shopback and do it that way. Is that incorrect?

  • Sirocco on 17/08/2020 - 08:03

    What are you guys doing with the these to wear them out?!. I've been thrashing on the ALDI set and I can't wear them out. They were $6.

    • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 09:41

      Undoing thread locked / over torqued brake caliper bolts. Outdoor fittings were the bolts have corroded / expanded. Undoing wrapped hex heads with easy :)

      Also these will pretty much last a lift time. Going to hand them down to my daughter/son of they don't lost them first. Lol

    Does anyone know what the difference is between this and the Wera 950? E.g. https://www.bunnings.com.au/wera-950-spkl-9-sm-n-hex-key-mul…

    • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 09:09

      Same keys but those don't have the inbox stainless steel coating. Not as rust / corrosion resistant. But if your not working in wet areas or remember to wipe down after use then shouldn't be an issue.

    • junkmark on 17/08/2020 - 09:14
      +1

      These are stainless, the 950s are the "blacklaser" finish. Hard to find details on what that means, but some random bloke online reckons the underlying steel is stronger, but not stainless, then the blacklaser finish prevents corrosion.

      • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 09:38
        +1

        I think it's the other way around. The blacklaser seems to be just Wera version of tool black / powder coating you see on many tools.

        I have observed that they both can be magnetised easily so tells me underneath they are the same "steel" vs full solid 430/304 grease stainless steel

  • chumpychops on 17/08/2020 - 10:34

    I just bought some. Thanks OP. One thing I've been trying to work out for a while now; Can you use the magnetised tips on these near computers? In the past I had by accident, but wondered if I might do any damage?

    • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 10:57
      +1

      No worries, hope will enjoy using them.

      These dont have the magnets and the Torx set holding function are via friction.

      But you can magnetise them by running them again strong rare earth magnets via a tool like this

      Wont affect your computer as they arent strong enough. Just dont bring them into datacentres / server rooms where they have EMI policies in place :)

  • oz-stef on 17/08/2020 - 11:08

    Thanks OP, have been looking at these for a while, was looking at the Wiha, but I think Wera might be the go here, shame there's no imperial set with a similar holder, only a pouch version

    • pegasusx on 17/08/2020 - 18:30

      I would swap you the pouch for the holder of you want 😉

      • oz-stef on 18/08/2020 - 12:28

        Hahaha, now I'm thinking about the pouch might be better!

  • Keeno on 17/08/2020 - 11:15

    I have these and Bondhus, I'd recommend getting the Bondhus

    Wera screwdrivers and ratchets are excellent IMHO, spend your money on these instead

    • MisterTee on 17/08/2020 - 14:27

      Why is that? What makes the Bondhus better?

      • Keeno on 18/08/2020 - 07:46

        Nothing they are both great. I like wera, but in this instance I don’t think they are worth the premium.

        • phor8 on 18/08/2020 - 08:34

          Do they have the gripping/holding function on the heads aswell?

          • pegasusx on 18/08/2020 - 12:11

            @phor8: Not the ones listed above. But there is a set for $48 with ProHold function These are the Hex/Allen keys. I believe the Torx hold function are unique to Wera (their LaserTip Patent)

  • MisterTee on 17/08/2020 - 17:48
