My bank account is shaking while I'm watching your unboxing. I wish I could afford all Wera tools. They are amazing quality and ergonomically comfortable.
Absolutely fantastic video, better then anything Wera has put out.
Thank you SO much for reading out the part numbers.
No problem!👍👍
That spike thing makes it into a spud wrench, and aligning holes is exactly what it's for. The Koloss ratchets are really cool, I want the swivel heads too.
Rumor is that in 2021, Wera is going to come out with an entirely new lineup of automotive specific ratchets!
Kidding! 😉😁👍
ChrisCas - Tool Aficionado 😮🤣
I like to put the Koloss extension handle in the pocket you stashed the pin in.( a tiny 1/4" slice vertical at bottom) I then put the pin in the other pocket. Carabiner snaps to the belt loop.
That’s considered a spud ratchet.
It also has a built in beater (sledge hammer)
This is very common in ironwork to connect beams.
That set pin ratchet looks really cool
I love your passion, makes me want to buy it all
I love my 1/4" Bit Ratchet. It is super handy for tight spaces, were you can not fit a normal 1/4" Ratchet+T30 Torx. This does fit easily.
I use a half inch Zyklop 8004 C jobbie and I really like it, feels good and is my go to. Only issue being the detent is quite far back so does not always grab the socket well, luckily it grabs my extensions really well so there is no risk of sockets falling off.
Excellent demonstration on the alignment tool
Some very nicely thought out tools there Dan 👍👍
Sparky 415 Everythings Adjustable yes they are!👍💪🔥
I need that workstation! Like, even the stool by itself tops my setup 😂
😂
ABD ABD ABD!!! Freaking nice Wera, per usual. 😁 If your not careful, you'll have to get a bigger tool box for these nice tools! Thanks, man. The vid was over before i knew it! The time just flies when having fun!🤣 Thanks again, cheers, and God bless! 😁🍻👍
Me again Dave haha! Thanks man! It sure does! Cheers!🍻🍻
Very beautiful indeed.🙌🏽
That 1/2" Zkylop with the extension is very tempting
Very nice bro! Collection coming along nicely
Great review! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻
Does the Koloss-Spike also fit in the Hybrid ratchet?
Thank you for sharing nice tools from german with us i really think that germans have a lot of brands for hand tools i can sure you that they have top notch quality i use heyco tools for heavy duty machinery since i am dealing with heavy duty machinery.
Just like the cars, women and also tools. Execpt the langauge haha.. greetz from holland
Great overview of Weras ratchets. I was looking to see side by sides of the Koloss and Hybrid ratchet so this was helpful.
Do you think the Koloss would fit a digital torque adapter between the hammer faces? The extension would make these a perfect ratchet for a torque wrench
I have the 1/4 and 3/8 speed ratchets....I find the 3/8 handle a little short for snug fasteners and I'm not talking stuff that requires a breaking bar, just properly tightened fasteners
Nice! You're Ratchet crazy!
Red Quasar haha! I am veering more towards the German side.. 😁🤣
Great video
6:37 You could pronounce it „Sprite‘s-Door-an“
👍👍
You ever notice they don't like us over here in the usa . Where is all the sae 1/2 drive
Never seen nothing like those wowwwwww👍
is the 1/2” hybrid rebuildable ?
VLOGOWEEN101 only the speed (swivel head) gotta give Wera Email a try if anything breaks..
Congrats Dan !!! Do you own your own shop? Do you mainly work on BMW and foreign cars? Those all look good as well as STOUT. Any thoughts about the KOBALT line for the DIYe?? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Rodney Widger hey bud! I don’t own, just an employee working mainly on BMWS and MINIS. Kobalt is kinda weird right now, can’t tell if they are staying or going. Their power tools look like they’re advancing, but that’s about it.. if the handtools disappear, warranty goes out the window at Lowe’s! Thanks for watching!!!👍👍
@@AutobahnDan the Kobalt hand tools "disappearing" wouldn't affect whether Lowes honors the warranty. Maybe if Kobalt disappeared altogether, the warranty would be tough to have honored. But since Lowes owns Kobalt, as long as Lowes is around, the warranty should be fine.
Does the koloss extension handle fit in the hybrid ratchet?
Two Shadez yes, and the pick attachment as well
@@AutobahnDan awesome, thanks!
Two Shadez no problem!!👍👍
Pity you can't have a speed ratchet with an extension
The wera whatchamacallit
lovely
You should try Böker knives for unboxing, they are also from Solingen
Oh my! I would love to start a collection from that area!
I'm just a home gamer, looking to upgrade my incomplete and hodgepodge collection of cheap Chinese tools. I just got a full set of Wera screwdrivers (including the impact set) and I also picked up the 11 piece metric ratcheting Joker wrenches. I'm already hooked and have a bunch of the foam sets on my wish list. I love the unique features and the quality for price when compared to Snap-On and others.
Question...what is your opinion on the Zyklop speed ratchets for automotive use? Do you find that the heads are too big, causing you to use an extension where you wouldn't otherwise need to? I'll probably pick up the 8004's eventually too, but wondering how well I would fare with just the 8000 speeds.
Yes, for auto repair, they are large. They sure are comfy for basic tasks though. I had them set aside just for oil and spark plug services where access wasn’t an issue. Just comfort.
@@AutobahnDan thanks for the feedback. I'll keep my current ratchets on standby until I can upgrade them...maybe check out some Hazet options.
Good content 👍👍👍 ❤from🇮🇱
So Dan, I'm from the USA and every mechanic here has both full SAE and Metric sockets and wrenches, cars trucks, trailers, etc is pretty much split down the middle to weather its gonna be sae or metric. Is it the same where your from? I just thought about that. Also how often do you have to use those imperial style wrenches and sockets, here in America you might see 1 car every 15 years thats imperial so nobody buys imperial tools here. Maybe a few folks but pretty much nobody.
I’m from here as well, I work on German vehicles. No SAE needed except for removing and installing air fittings for air tools and for other large tools and equipment around the shop..
Spreizdorn means something like " Spike to pry " and sp is in german spooken like schp if you put your teeth together and breath out its like sch
You have new tools everyday #literally lolol
216 Mechanic Yeah I need to slow down because it now I have storage issues🤣
I've heard sockets from other manufacturers don't work so well with Wera ratchets. Loose? Idk.
Sirk Dopsah yeah, I tried all mine.. Snap-on, gearwrench, Lisle.. they all work fine. I think ClientGraphics either has a bad one or he has the few sockets that don’t fit right..
@@AutobahnDan Good to know. I want to try them for sure.
Sirk Dopsah the Wera sockets are nice tho! Knurled ends! Color coded! Holding function available as well! Dialed in on the 1/4”, hope to see more from them!
If you watch my last video I talk about those clubs again how hot they get Great tools I think Klein Had them make a sata screwdrivers your route comfortable But they were all black
🍻🍺🍻🍺
KONAMAN Studio oh nice! Looks like you fixed your cut off tool video! I’ll have to check it out! 🍻🍻
Does the 8781 C Koloss centring pin fit on the 8006 C Zyklop Hybrid Ratchet ? Thanks
Kent Hede-Jensen yep! Still looks deadly to! Lol 🤘
AutobahnDan thanks. I could not find the answer on Wera's website.
Them tools look sturdy. FIRST
Chemical Spore yes they are! That Koloss has got to be my strongest ratchet now! Just by the way it looks it could scare any bolt! Lol
@@AutobahnDan i must get one of These
I really want the Koloss! Seems so beefy and tough! Awesome video as always Dan! Question, how can I get one of your stickers for my toolbox? Thanks! ☺️
Lila Thanks! 💪💪🔥 got em for sale on my Etsy page! Link in the description! 🔥🔥
AutobahnDan awesome will be ordering some soon!
Lila 🔥💪👍👍
😯😯😍😍👍💯
Wera or snap on ?
Alex Loredo21 Both😁
Also check out some Bahco tools (daughter company of Snap-On) - sometimes you can score cheaper deals for the same stuff. ;)
11:45 These tools are exactly what you DON'T keep in the trunk of your car. Those tools you use every day. Put HF in the trunk of your car...
hey dan, enjoy your addiction videos as i am an addict myself. buying tools i have zero use for as i already have set of every tool i could possibly use.. ugh. it kind of sucks but also check out my nepros! ;)
German tool made in Czech 8(
Well, half of the Czech republic is rightfully German territory, anyways
Hehe, what about the "Solingen" knife, I bet you that thing goes under 10 different brand names, just like the Knipex electrician scissors, but they're all actually made in Taiwan and not even mentioned. ;) Research and... first hand tested quality in the end is all that matters. 👍
The wiggle is because is a thin ratched. You are sacrificing precision for thinness.
If you’re talking about the push through, it’s super bad even compared to ratchets that are even thinner. Maybe the thought process was that dirt and debris might make it difficult to be a push through and a quick release so they left some clearance so it can be cleaned🤷♂️
@@AutobahnDan push through and switch have some wiggle. This is because on the switch version they use the rear cutout on the frame as centering but also is the frame for the push-release and they cannot have a smaller tolerance. On the push through this goes for both sides.
You will see it if you cut one open, there is a snap ring at the back that holds everything together.
This reminds me of Funko pop collections. NOT A GOOD THING!
I have no idea what you’re trying to say..
impressive, but why oh why oh why? There are much better ratchets. The unique ratchets like the Kloss and Zyklop speed ratchets are one thing, but the metal ones just aren't as good for the price. I much prefer my Hazet 916HPLG over the Zykop Hybrid Set (which is collecting dust from non-use) for not much more in cost for a much better ratchet. But I get the whole set thing, since I've gone out of my way to find every socket in both 6 and 12 pt for 1/4, 3/8/, 1/2 in short and deep.
@Han Wagu bigger on the electrician scene. They love em! They may not be as high-quality as German made, but you can see the value in these of non-German with German quality control. If the price for it went any lower, then you’ll have mid grade Taiwan
@@AutobahnDan electricians love metal Wera ratchets? Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of Wera tools, but the cost diff on ratchet heads just not there to justify spending less. One factor is Wera metal ratchets are not serviceable, so the cost savings goes out when you have to replace rather than service parts. anyway, nice collection nontheless.
@@hanwagu9967 I see them on Instagram with all of Wera, it’s like a cult. The round head ones are serviceable
That comedy ratchet looks extremely unwieldy.
Wera products are stout
Cool looking but look impractical
I went broke just watching this video
I hope I didn’t do too much damage! 😅
Lol figures this guy is a bmw mechanic
So you have all this... Ever plan on using them? Tool reviews are awesome when you have actually used said tools....... JS
Clinton Keeler yes, I switch out ratchets on my cart where I use them for a month or two, then so on. This is an unboxing video and not a review. It’s kinda hard to review a tool when you just got it..
Mate, you are kidding yourself with WERA. Let me explain. I'm originally from Stuttgart and we had flee-markets where WERA employees used to sell very nice screwdrivers... Those were made in Germany; what you are getting today, is far from that quality; most of the tools are made in Taiwan and The Czech Republic, the quality is no longer the same. If you want a German made quality tool, you need to look somewhere else, probably into Stahlwille, Hazet and also Gedore for some stuff, but not the red lines of products; those are made of chinesium. Your US store of choice is also adding some nice mark-ups and for this reason, combined with their terrible website keep me away from being their customer. Stay safe!
A Dude Thanks for the concern, I am well aware that these are made in Czech and Taiwan. I have Stahlwille, Hazet, Gedore, Snap-on, Nepros etc. With Wera you get high quality high QC tools from those locations. The Taiwan bit ratchets are branded in other names highly sought after by the Japanese market. Not saying that all stuff from Taiwan is good, if you know what you’re looking for, you know what’s made properly from there
@@AutobahnDan You missed my point, which was that with WERA, you get to pay for German quality and at the end of the day, you end-up with something else. I'm well aware that they make good tools in both locations, but the price needs to reflect that as well and also, it's not always been disclosed.
A Dude they’re not much different than Gearwrench. Gearwrench is a US company with quality Taiwan tools. The prices are high on new tools just like any other brand. New Wera is a little high, but if you wait, you can find good deals a few times a year in Amazon. Another thing is that they’re not a cheap copy and paste Taiwan like Gedore Red or Wiha. Not everything from Germany is full 100%, and the end of the day, you just have to know what to buy.
@@AutobahnDan Mate, Gearwrench is complete and total GARBAGE! Don't allow your butt to take over the writing! I already told you that the red Gedore is crap, so no need to bring that one up as well... You need to understand that now you are talking tools with a German engineer who happens to LIVE tools. Also, I'm not in the market so I have no need to wait for "deals" on Amazon. The thing is, that not every brand is equal and well regarded in all aspects of tooling. If you want the best sockets ever, you will have to look into Stahlwille and Waggon, if you want the strongest and thinnest spanners, Stahlwille again, if you're an electrician, you look at WIHA for their dedicated stuff, if you need a pliers of some sort, KNIPEX invented the plier and is made with SOLINGEN steel, if you even know what that is and so on. Wera started out with very nice screwdrivers and expanded because it has always been a consumer company which made decent screwdrivers. If you look into precision measuring tools, you don't get the luxury of choice to much; HAZET and GEDORE (blue) are decent choices and so on. You need to understand that American tools are sub-par to German tools; end of story! SnapOn is a brand with roots in the car-repair industry IN AMERICA. NOBODY BUYS THEIR OVERPRICED CRAP overseas!!! Please remember that. Old mechanics teach young mechanics that you will eventually end-up with Snapons because that is a sign of establishment... In any case that is BS! The other truck tools are GARBAGE to start with. Young mechanics in AMERICA are not properly educated, the public is not educated at all. That's all I had to say, I won't be wasting anymore time here; I stumbled upon whatever you had to say because I was bored with this crap-virus... Stay safe!
A Dude haha! ENGINEER! That explains it all! I have been repairing vehicles for 20 years and dealing with “ENGINEERS” have no idea working on cars.. especially the ones who design it!🤣👍👍👍
It’s apparent that you are a tool collector. You probably wouldn’t know how to work with them. A good mechanic can work just fine with Husky tools
You obviously didn’t see the whole video…
It's apparent someone's momma done never told 'em "If ya don't have nothing nice to say, don't say nothin' at all".
The man literally talks about wrenchin' on rides, and it sounded like people around him was wrenchin'.
