Great set from Wera retails normally well over $300 - not an all time low price ($120) but an excellent buy at this price.
CamelCamelCamel.
You know you want it…
It would look so pretty on the shelf…
Any deals on shelves?
Wera is like Ozb new eneloop. Professional tool for wanna be handyman ;)
Personally, If I was going to buy ANY sort of socket set I'd be looking at a different brand. Wera look great but aside from that they don't really feel much better to use than any other good quality brand. I purchased a gearwrench 83066 socket set about a year ago for ~$200 and it's amazing. Obviously there are people who have been snapping up Wera for their collections, but even so - if you are in the market for tools please do some research before buying these. Sydney tools currently has this great starter set (although not the 120XP) on sale for $99 shipped.
Have to 100% agree I have all wera screwdrivers sets well over 3ks worth n they are quality kit for my electronics business but socket sets ain't that good especially at this price remember it's 1/4 inch set any serious socket work look at 3/8 to 1/2 plenty of sets out there good quality much cheaper
I'd be tempted to advise people to get a premium ratcheting handle; I've used Snap-On and the difference is night and day, from the angle needed to get onto the next tooth, to the smoothness and the overall quality.
Sure but this is only 1/4 drive
Seconded Gearwrench. Great value products.
If you're buying gearwrench get the ratchets with more teeth.
There is a quality difference between them and the more teeth is a better experience anyway
Depends on what you are doing but in general I agree. As above I have the 83066 which is the 120XP (120 teeth) and they are fantastic. The set I linked isn't the 120XP…
84 teeth is good in my view.
True Wera isn't great value for money, but the $99 Gearwrench set is 12 point which i'm not a fan of. The Toolpro 6 point sets are fantastic for the price, they have held up just as good as my Sidchrome, Wera, KingChrome sets.
Those ugly arse wera grips are not aesthetically pleasing.
Yeah not a fan of those grips. Waiting for a deal on the Joker spanners, much better looking.
If you’re after a 1/4 zyklop speed kit these might be of better values (part of buy 2 get 15% off):
26 Piece socket set $129 or $109 when paired with a second item
35 Piece socket and VDE screwdriver kit (must select Amazon UK seller, $177 or $150 when paired with second item
Second item is from this list, plenty of other Wera or Knipex stuff, if nothing else tickles your fancy just pair it with this $1.75 card.
I have used bahco sockets at work as an electrican for a while and I find the kits to be really useful and good value. They also have cases that hold a lot of the sockets and tools in place if you plan on moving it anywhere.
I have all wera VDE screwdrivers for work and I believe the laser tip ones are the best on the market but the price for this zyklop stuff is just way too high.
My old man uses Bahco (and his old stuff from the 80's is all Sidchrome from memory) and it's a great piece of kit. I ended up going Gearwrench because of the lower price and I'm very happy.
There are a lot of overlapping in hex bit sizes between 1/4 and 3/8 as well as 3/8 and 1/2..
So for Zyklop sets it might be better to get 1/4 and 1/2 sets only.
Really thought this is a torque wrench, lol, till I read the description…XD
This isn't a bargain price. This is standard pricing if not more expensive than usual from Amazon.
Must resist 🥵
