I love my Wera stuff and I think this is a good deal. Normally $77.31 @ Amazon AU or $63.51 @ Amazon UK.
I have the 15 piece kit which is still going strong after 2 years

Those multi bit kits are always absolutely shite, and a situation where you want to use an insulated driver is probably not a place where you want a chance of small metal things falling out.
Using this stupid thing is just asking for a boot.
And if you're working with someone else, you only have a single screwdriver.
Can get 7 Wera VDE screwdrivers for about $50, I don't see the value with this deal
For example I paid au$48.77 for these during black friday https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B00TJ3J7MG

Ah the old time machine bargain… now where to get a time machine…
Where I find the single handle set better is I keep one in the kitchen drawer so for causal use I don't have to go to the garage to dig through the toolbox for the regular set.

You missed that one too?
Boxing day 2065 off Amazon DE, mark it on your calendar
Great deal
for electrician.
I would not use this on live terminals.
Shouldn’t be working live anyway just sayin
@Jimothy Wongingtons: I live in the real world , not JSA world. We work live when required.
@furiousgeorge: furiousgeorge?? My nibba from HotCopper ixr??
Does anyone know what the 7 pieces are? Each photo shows different sets and the description doesn't say.
I think I can answer my own question, here's another ad which includes a better description, including the included bits:

2 Cross heads
4 Flat heads
+ Handle + Carry case
These are Pozidrive PZ. I don't like them to be honest. They work great with Pozidrive screws but not so good with Phillips head in my opinion. I prefer normal Phillips head drive as I rarely encounter Pozidrive screws.
I grabbed this a few days ago when it popped up randomly. Thought it had run out almost immediately. Sorry I didn't post earlier.
From the comments, should I return these or just resell? My order is apparently coming from the US so unsure how the return process works if I need to return to Amazon U.S.? 😅
Just return it with your package. Amazon will creat a barcode. You need show the barcode to post staff.. and they will do anything.
Thanks lad!
Are they really that bad? None of my wera bits fall out of their handle when in use. I would think that these are of the same quality as their other sets.
Has anyone had experience with this actual set?
Rubbish product. In what reality would this be a better idea than just having a few regular 1000V screwdrivers? There is the chance of a bit falling out, higher chance of losing bits, you can't just have these floating around your tool bag, and if you lose the handle the rest of the kit is completely unusable, and screwdrivers get lost A LOT on the job.
Only benefit I can see is that it's more compact.
I always thought the exact same thing. Then I bought this set a couple of years ago when it was heavily discounted. It has been awesome for me as I periodically do travel work overseas. Can only take so many tools in my luggage and having this instead of a full set is great. But at my normal workplace where I have an entire toolbox I just use individual screw drivers like most people would.
The bits can not fall out either. You need to pull back a sleeve bit at the front of the handle to release the bits. The bits also hold in surprisingly rigidly. Not much wobble.
Yeah, but Knipex and Wera are like ozb #1 impulse-buying brand for tools. lol
weird. why not just changing the bits>
