Wera8100 SA/SC 2 Zyklop Speed Ratchet, Socket & Bit Set, 1/4" & 1/2" Drive, 43pc, 05160785001

Great ratchet and socket set. Great quality and super versatile with the zyklop swivel head meaning awkward angles can be tackled.Great kit featuring both 1/2 and 3/8 inch ratchets and a hex head handle for screwdriver use.Heavy duty metal case and great lining ensuring tools are firmly secured when not in use.Well worth the money.

Wera tools are not cheap but still great value for money as ill never have to buy another set. Like all of their products it is of a very high quality and what i like about this set is how they have created an innovative design but the innovations are no nonsense and worthwhile....no gimmicks. The set is very heavy for its size which in itself is reassuring

Very good quality at an affordable price

I have been looking for some time for a new socket set and whilst this is expensive I consider it to be well worth the money. It is beautifully made, stored in a well made container. I have not used in anger yet but tried out the various combinations of ratchets and sockets. It all seems very easy to use and very versatile. I particularly like the fact you can turn the handle to the vertical position to allow the initial tightening of the nut. The ratchet is easy to reverse using the knurled ring. The only handle that does not have a ratchet on is the screwdriver handle. Overall very impressed and would recommend without reservation.

I found this set to be great and useful. The ratchet pivoting head adjustment has made an otherwise tricky task, straight forward (particularly with interiors), and doubles up as a screwdriver. It's a feature I regularly use. The 'fine toothed' mechanism has also helped in some tight spaces where there simply wasn't enough room to ratchet with a standard mechanism.The quick release connector, 8764 A1, is fantastic and allows quick changing of bits. Whilst the small sockets can be used the connector is the only thing that can keep screwdriver bits in place.The black plastic sleeves on the extensions, and main ratchet, are free moving allowing them to be held whilst (un)screwing. Probably useful when using gloves that would otherwise grip and be more awkward to use.The foam inside the case shows the part numbers of each major part which is helpful to replace pieces when lost or broken. In my case I have had to reorder a new connector (8764 A1) and small extension (8796 SA) for ~£20 since I am unable to separate the pair. Seems the locking ball on the extension has just locked in place despite the green side button being depressed. No amount of increasing coercion has worked. An unexpected additional cost on already a premium purchase.Generally the product feels of very good quality and well thought out. The advantages of the design, availability and ease of obtaining new or extra components outweigh the issue I have had so I wouldn't be put off buying Wera again at the right price.

I bought this for my home toolkit after spotting it mis-priced on Amazon having been drooling over it for a while. Unfortunately the price has since gone back up.It is a beautifully made set and lives up to all the marketing promises of making work easier and faster. Just be a little bit careful with it when you're learning to use it - if you find yourself needing to use force to remove a socket or change a position you probably need to press a button or slide something to release it!

Wera speed rachet is amazing - very clever tool that is quality piece - no play in the components, just nice tight fit with really good rachet return of just 5 degrees making it effective in limited spaces
