As a German, I also agree that we make the best tools... All of these are great but I personally think that Wiha and Wera are, at least for insulated screwdrives, the best money can buy anywhere.
Great review! Short, solid, informative. Very helpful! Thanks a lot.
One thing to consider is, that the Wera Kraftform handles will deteriorate when getting in contact with oils. That is a big no for me. After some time the molded thermoplastics (green, yellow,..) will start to become sticky and slimy and there is not much you can do to save it. The laser etched tips are nice and grippy, but the lack of oil resistance is such a big let down. I'm on team Wiha btw.
Switched from Klein to Wera. Haven’t looked back.
I use the stainless steel Wera almost exclusively. Have their chisel drivers too. But I live someplace with high humidity and lots of rain. And these guys are tough. Really tough.
Ergonomics and head strength/fit are excellent. Price is very reasonable. People I work with tell me I should be using Klein, and then they get hold of one of my Weras, and they shut up.
Got a friend who’s been in the trade for well over a decade that uses Filo and Wiha. Both are solid choices.
If my Wera drivers ever fail, I may try out PB Swiss. Because I like caviar and mineral water.
Great choices!
All of my nuts drivers (about 12 in different lengths and sizes) are Klein. The handles are amazing and the magnets are too. All my normal and insulated drivers are wera. Can't really go wrong with either. The laser tips on the Phillips/slotted do grip better for sure on the wera.
Good video. Personally, for slotted, I like PB Swiss. The unique design of the tip seems to fit the best in slotted screws, especially old slotted screws. The VDE I don’t like the round handles as much, but I do like the, multicraft, and if you like softer handles, the Swiss grip and rainbow. Classic are smooth and small handles which fit in bags nicely. The impact cap size 4 slotted I use a ton. They are spendy, but not obscene if you shop around. Maybe order a PH2 or slotted size 4 (1/4in) to try. They seem to be a love or hate thing.
As you say, all the ones you showed are very good drivers, can’t go wrong and it’s mainly down to what handles you prefer.
I notice all the ones you showed are not the slim tip style VDE. Slim tips fit in some breakers or other recessed screws where the others do not. The newer kleins VDE as well as never versions of some that you show are slim VDE.
One issue I have with the ones you showed is that slotted are metric sizes. You end up with a 5.5 or a 6.5mm rather than a true 1/4 inch (and why the Wera chisel driver goes from 5.5mm to 7.0mm I will never know). Same issue with 3/16th inch. Some Felo rebrands are imperial sized. PB do seem to be spot on with their number sizes. Also, I like the Wera and Felo because they are light. The Wiha and Witte and big and Wiha seems heavier. Snap-on and the old handle style williams are also excellent screwdrivers.
Bingo ! PB Deffo . Is the one that treats slotted screws the most gently ! Their small precision drivers are also great , plus they make the best ratcheting drivers of the lot ( they make other brands feel like Crowbars ! ) . If you can’t afford Cam Out , pull the PB’s out !
My wera is 5 years old now & still doing well for my electrical bits
I just got my first wera screwdriver set over the weekend. I'm going to be smashing my flat blade into all sorts of metal & duct work 24/7, the chissel style was clutch. Also the chuck on the base for use with a wrench is so cool. Can't wait to break them in.
They are fantastic! You won’t be disappointed
If you are going to get the hazet get the hazet 810spc/21 jumbox it's a 21pc that includes the set you linked plus a striking cap set and torx and mini torx all for about $100
The 5 piece Wiha set sold at Lowe's is the best affordable attainable screwdriver set for us in the US.
I got those 60% off for 14 bucks
Wera was designed after one of their engineers squeezed his child's Play-Doh and it formed that shape. That's why it's called Kraft-Form
I highly suggest you look at PB Swiss. They are by far my favourite go to screwdriver. Try the Swiss grip range, a great tactile feel on the hand. Every screwdriver has a laser etched serial number as they can pin point the batch of steel used during the manufacture process. The tips are super strong and accurate. Check them out. Wiha comes 2nd. I find the Felo tips are too soft especially my PH2. Great video! 👍
Good review !
Thank you!
@@americanelectrician Much Respect , Buddy , while not in Lock Step with you , I greatly respect your views !
Vessel or Anex ball grip for me. I don’t use insulated though, just have an insulated bit driver and switch out as needed
They are a very nice screwdriver. What type of work do you use them for?
@@americanelectrician The Anex ratcheting is my primary, has a P2 and a flathead reversible blade. I bought a couple double sided bits that I will change out depending (P1/S1, P2/S2, P3/S3). I don't think most people like ratcheting but I do and this on is a simple switch just below the ball and stays out of the way for unintended direction switching. I like the Vessel but I switch forward and reverse too much with my normal grip.
I'm a 1st year Apprentice Electrician (9 months)
I'm sure some will laugh but I don't care. I love my Milwaukee insulated set. They feel great in my hand all day and have been very durable..I even have a backup set in case I can't find them or one is damaged by chance.
Wera is the toughest screwdriver I've ever owned, wiha is really good too. However a screwdriver that shocked me more than anything is westward brand from grainger!!! I'm a craftsman at a prison and I've had the same flathead, Phillips, and bit driver for over 8 years. They're tougher than a pine knot. So much so, I bought a set for the house and love them!!!
That’s awesome! They really are fantastic!
My only complaint with Felo is that the markings on the back get rubbed off almost instantly. None of my most commonly used Felo screwdrivers keep the markings for more than a week.
What about PB Swiss? Have you tried any of them?
I haven’t really got to test them out. I know people love them. I meant to mention them but forgot since I don’t have any
My goto is Wera for laser tips, and Wiha for everyday.
Gotta love the laser tips! Wiha is solid as well.
I prefer Wiha strike top screwdrivers because the metal end cap is bigger and PB Swiss, four daily drivers because I think they have the most comfortable handle and the best fit, Wera for a select few like VDE with replaceable blades because the handle locks unlike on the Swiss
Ya missed one brand , PB Swiss !
I’ve heard good things! I’ve never really tried them tho
@@americanelectrician Best Ratcheting drivers I’ve ever used ( totally sealed unit , their slotted drivers don’t Cam out ( if you use the right sized driver , their VDE rated drivers are the best I’ve ever worked with !
I have few VDE screw drivers , they are the best , OLD SNAPON are better than the new ones.
PB makes the most Cam out resistant slotted drivers on the planet . Plus a lot of drivers for the Medical Community ! They also make the best Ratcheting drivers on the Planet ! Their Hex / Torox keys are good for situations where Screw damage isn’t an option . For Bog Standard stuff , I use a lot of Wera , for sensitive stuff where Cam Out would be catastrophic , I use PB drivers and keys .
People loves these...I do not. 😆
Same man haha thanks for making these videos
Constantly looking at new and interesting brands online
so it is nice to get a real world perspective.
Appreciate you.
Thank you! I appreciate the support! I’m the same way. I love seeing new brands and nice tools
If you can find some old Enders screwdrivers, that is the very best.
Wiha insulated and Wera for standard use
Both fantastic!
Greetings from germany. 🙋♂️
I own Wera and Felo srewdrivers. Two similar set of 13 pieces each. Ph 1, 2, 3/ Pz 1, 2, 3, and seven standard "Schlitz" Schraubendreher. But both sets with a metalcore from bottom to top, so I can use a hammer for rusty screws. And all got a hexagonal blade design with a bigger point to use a wrench.
Well all the brands you named producing very similar screwdrivers. You cant go wrong with any of them. But the design and how YOU can work with the tool makes the difference. If you have large hands or tiny hands and so on. Are you working in wet or oily conditions? And so on.
But i have to mention that the PB swiss tools drivers having a different type of blade/tip. There for, they fitting or at least feel different than the other brands during working. But PB swiss tools are definetly top drivers.
But the cross screws and schlitz/slot screwdrivers are a dying race. Tx ist the Standard. At least in germany for DIY.
And, like ererywhere, there are more companys on the market than factorys who produce the tools. There are just different labels on it. They just putting their name on it after leaving the same blast furnace/conveyor belt. You know.
Beware guys. Before you even get into Wera, please be mindful of what you need because you can get pretty overwhelmed. They have at least 3 types of screwdrivers to select from. You think they're good for one trade....but NO....they tap into all trades and they even overlap.
I also thought wera was a great screwdriver until the tip snapped on my #2 Phillips at half power
For screwdrivers i prefer klein vde the english version,witte vde and facom vde.
A good selection!
@@americanelectrician i don't know exactly how our American Colleagues are working (as i know you don't use vde tools)but I recommend you to try the slimline Facom vde screwdrivers.
@@George-up4hh we aren’t required to if we aren’t working hot but I always do
I bought into the Wera hype a few years ago ( maybe ( 7/8 years back ) surrounding the laser etched tips. I found them to be a load of crap. Zero perceptible extra grip, and the tips snapped easily. There’s no way an engineer in the field can prove they work, like fail to remove a tight screw with a non etched driver, then the laser etched tips manage it. If you can’t prove the claims they don’t exist. The one thing I really liked was the short length fitted into my tool bag better than any other driver ever has.
I have the Klein VDE and the ones you showed here. My kit is almost exclusively Klein, but I recently started looking at Milwaukee after buying their hollow shaft nut spinners ( the best on the market ), I wanted the made in USA versions but can’t find them in the UK. I looked again at Wera but wasn’t inspired. I looked at Wiha, I have their VDE nut spinners and the vario slimline set which are also excellent, they maybe a possibility. The very best bang for buck are Irazola but they are too tall for most of my tool cases, so I’m back to Klein…………..
Hazet do not make screwdrivers, they use the same company in Slovenia that Klein uses. Witte is pronounched vitter as far as i know. Klein just came out with grip pliers that look the same as Hazet which are made in Germany but not sure who makes them. I have used Gedore impact drivers for years, they use the same Slovenian company that Hazet and Klein use as far as I am aware.
The Company is "Unior" they make their own tools too since 1919 even of an excellent Quality...🌟👍
@@SachsVDE the name eluded me at the time of this comment lol. Thanks.
Which means Unior,Slovenia makes them.They also make some tools for Gedore!
Kraftgrip not Unior.
@@dusanmilojevic3017 thanks
Witte = *Vitt.* There is no 'L' in this word!
Wiha = *Vee-ha.*
Wera = *Verra.*
Confusingly, 'W' is always pronounced as 'V' in German. As with the 'w' in Volkswagen, or bratwurst. HTH and thank you for your love of our engineering! 🇩🇪
Actually, Witte = Vitt-uh. In German there are no silent letters.
And just to be really pedantic, Hazet = hatset and Felo = faylo
@@jamesrodgers3132both pronunciations are correct its just an accent
In German the ‘w’ is pronounced as a ‘w’ not a ‘v’. In English speaking parts the German ‘w’ is pronounced as a ‘v’. Definitely not in Germany.
felo best
PB Swiss Tools are on the top!No one can beat them!All made in Switzerland!
Um…you left out PB Swiss.
Fair enough. I just don’t have any
You know what small hands mean?????
Small gloves!!!!!
Probably small feet too
all german except klein
I like the German screwdrivers
Wera is made in the Czech Republic.
@@davehaggerty3405 True but that's not a bad thing. Historically it's an industrial region from when it was part of Austria-Hungary. The factory is in Bystřice nad pernštejnem, but it was also called by it's German name Bistritz ob Pernstein. It's about 550 miles from Remscheid, where Wera's German HQ is, to Bistritz so easier to maintain good QC than manufacturing in the Far East for example. Wages are lower in Czechia hence Wera aren't too expensive, depending on the product.
For example I paid £6 on Amazon for a 6 piece Wera bitset with extender earlier this year, although I can't find it near that price now, but even a Stanley bitset with similar bits costs £9. Or a PHO driver from Wera is £3.94, Stanley Fatmax is £3.60.
First
🙌🏼
Wera 🎉🎉🎉 Wiha 🎉🎉🎉
Fantastic selections!
Klein shouldn’t even be on the list. Garbage imo.
Hazet only sells screwdrivers under their name and pliers also.
io per non sbagliare li ho tutti
