Wera 056490 Tool-Check Plus Bit Ratchet Set with Sockets - Metric

Took it with on a motorcycle trip and it was the most handy set. Super lightweight and feels high quality. The ratchet can really withstand high torque. Also love how everything is magnetized. My only complaint is that the extension is a bit too wide and short for most cases. It would also be nice if there were less Philips heads. I've used like 2 but they take up like half of the bits! I would just swap them out for some imperial bits or something but then it just feels less iconic :( Honestly, I would rather just buy an inexpensive set than buy this just because its so pricey. I feel like spending this much should give a no compromise solution and this is just not it.

OK. I may have stumbled upon a new (to me) and very interesting brand. Lots of nice tools, and my first experience did not disappoint. First impressions are great. Fit and finish is some of the best for these sort of tools. The ratchet is completely deburred and feels great in the hand. Nice small ratcheting clicks. And the rubber on the screwdriver handle is the right abut of polymer firmness and traction. Have not used it wet, but seems promising. That extension with swiveling barrel is brilliant. I am an engineer and detail oriented and this package has it all for me.This is not a full set for your garage, but I am using this as a spare set in my vehicle. The ratchet is roughly 1/4" size, but measures just under 3.5" in total length. Yet fits comfortably in the hand. It's not meant for big jobs, but this covers the most commonly used sizes of basic tools for me. I purchased the metric set. It is amazing how many 10mm & 8mm fasteners are in modern automobiles. While this is small in size, I bet I could take apart everything but the engine with this impressive little guy! Certainly anything in the interior, and most body panels. Plus hex drivers, screw bits, and Torx from to T10-T40. Damn. Now I will have tools on hand when I drop in to see my mother and she asks me to fix something. All without taking much of any space. Fancy.Let's be honest, this isn't an inexpensive product. However, the more I look over the item, the more I appreciate their engineering skill, refinement, and ultimately come to the conclusion that I believe this is an excellent value. Hey, it's cheaper than SnapOn, but what really isn't? The operation of the kit alone is fairly ingenious. I usually discard the cheap plastic store packaging, but this is pretty innovative and looks sturdy enough to last. Time shall tell, but the included case is marvelous. It even has a built in clip so that I can just clip it to a storage bin in the truck, a toolbox drawer, you name it. And it all locks up so your little bits don't make a mess. Bravo. Someone did their homework and it shows. Easy to access everything, all the right bits, and not too much extra crap. Impressively crammed into a set the size of my fully open hand.Coming from a self professed "tool whore", this immediately became one of my favorite sets of hand tools. I hope this description helps you determine if this little champ is right for you.

Fantastic set for on the go repairs! Here's my take on this nifty little set.First off, the size is a game-changer. It's small enough to toss into my glove compartment, yet it packs all the essentials. I've waved goodbye to lugging around a bulky toolbox for minor fixes.The variety of bits and sockets in this set is nothing short of amazing. Whether I'm dealing with a stubborn Phillips head screw or those tricky torx screws, this kit has got me covered. It's like having a mini tool box in your drawer or glove box, ready for just about any screw profile you might encounter.The ratchet in this set deserves a special mention. We've all been there, trying to fix something in an awkward, cramped space. This ratchet, with its fine-tooth mechanism, has been a lifesaver. It delivers solid torque and the small return angle means I can work in tight spots without needing a lot of room to maneuver.What I also love is the magnetic bit holder – a small detail, but it's a big deal when you're up a ladder and need to swap bits quickly. No fumbling, no dropping bits, just a smooth, quick change, and you're good to go.As for durability, after over a year of use, my Tool Check Plus is still going strong. It's taken a few drops (don't ask) and been through various weather conditions, but the quality and robustness of these tools have stood the test of time. Wera wasn't messing around when they put this set together.The ergonomic design is the icing on the cake. Long hours of DIY projects can be tough on the hands, but this set is comfortable to use. The ratchet handle, especially, fits nicely in my palm, making the work less of a strain.Ultimately, the Tool Check Plus is a compact, versatile, and robust toolkit that's ideal for anyone who needs a reliable set for everyday tasks. Whether you're in the car and on the go or in the house, you can be prepared for whatever DIY challenges come your way, this is one toolkit you'll want to have at your side.

An excellent product with very fast shipping!Highly durable and easy to use.Perfect for emergency situations in the field and beyond.Lightweight, compact, and convenient.Simply outstanding!Highly recommended!

Maybe a splurge purchase. Maybe an impulse buy. Maybe I didn't really need this.But I really like it.It is smaller than it appears online. Perhaps the tiniest ratchet I've ever used.I've used this handy kit for lots of little repairs / assemblies around the house & yard.Good quality and decent variety of bits and sockets.It is not the heaviest duty, but is certainly well made and solid.
