Wera tool set

Okay So i need some affirmation I bought the Wera 056490 Tool-Check Plus Bit Ratchet Set with Sockets - Metric just trying to add some tools to my minuscule sets that I have and when it arrives I take em out and play with them like any grown kid would do. and low and behold my wife makes a crack at me." Okay Hulk Hands " who are the tools really for. So help me feel better about my purchase that they work great.; they are the bees knees.

Don't have that set or any other Wera stuff but it looks like a fantastic set.
With that case to keep it organized and the quality that has been touted here, it's a lifetime investment.

I love my high quality tools and always tell my friends to stop buying the cheap crap cuz you just spend more time and money returning things that break.

I hate when people ask for my help and pull out a mess of crappy, worn out tools to use.

Ummm, your wife is making fun of your small tool? Size doesn’t matter. Really it doesn’t.

I'm just down the street from you. I'll take em off your hands so your wife will stop belittling you. Then you can go buy Snap On at the used tool store off Sudley.



On a serious note: all the Wera stuff I have is awesome. Ditto with the Wiha stuff.

You’re publicly talking about your small tool?!

Order a few 50mm bits and conspicuously fiddle with them https://www.kctoolco.com/wera-134931...ips-power-bit/

The next week move up to 70mm https://www.kctoolco.com/wera-134370...ips-power-bit/

Finally end on 150mm https://www.kctoolco.com/wera-134947...nd-coated-bit/

"New tools? No, they've always been this size."

I have started down the tool rabbit hole.

Wera hex wrenches, knipex cable cutter, abbey tools BB tool, chain whips and freehub wrench.

Need to get a few high quality torx tools and screwdrivers to complete the tool box, then I'll be into the less used tools.

Each of the higher priced tools has changed the way I work and makes thinks significantly easier to do.

I misplaced my ToolCheck Plus kit two weeks ago, driving me nuts. I know what you mean, it is a small kit, but works incredibly well. I love the Wera hex keys, all I use now.
