wildroamer Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hey gang Seeing all of your awesome tools, I figured I would post my recent purchase. Bought a set of Wiha Extra Heavy 's in the Microfinish. I was concerned they might not balance well being heavier with the through-shafts, but they are very nice in the hand! The little Stubby was not part of the set, but I had to have it... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFBush2 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nice set of drivers! I've been eyeballing these Wiha drivers. If you put them to work soon, let us know how they hold up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Will do. Only used a few for some minor around the house stuff. Put a new stationary bike together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nice set! I've been thinking of picking those up myself, I think I'd like the microfinish more than I like the softfinish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildroamer Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 The stubby is softfinish. They are both real nice, don't think you could go wrong either way. I do see that in a greasy situation those microfinish drivers would be better. There is a slight grit to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Nice choice man,I love my Wiha drivers. if I didnt already have a SnapOn set with bolsters I would own this set for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was blown away by @phffter and his extensive collection, Check it out!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Holy crap! No, I have that set of Wiha's only, plus a few Wiha T-handles and the odd junker or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I probably have about the same amount but they're stored in three different locations. These are just the PH2, all part of sets except the Klein, also not counting the HF set and all the misc singles and drivers scattered around. Though since this pic was taken I've added Wera Chiseldrivers and another set of Wera 334 SK/6. I also tend to pick up singles of the PH2s so I can replace the one from a set when it starts to get worn, have a few still in packaging: We're screwdriver whores around these parts 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I have the Wiha torx set that goes up to T50 if I remember right. they are good torx drivers,torx type of fasteners are used alot in machine tools and my industrial applications.. same great wiha grips and good fastener fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T75R Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 That is a very nice set of wihas. I'm about to get a set of the wera ones pretty soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, there are some that I like more than others but the favorites are neck and neck. I love the Felo grip, PB Swiss has a great texture on their grip but the handle is thin but the steel quality is AMAZING, Wera has the nicest tip design. Witte(Matco) also has a really comfortable grip but it holds dirt like crazy. Wiha has really nice tips too but I don't love the SoftFinish. I don't like the Snap-On at all. Tekton is great for the price(and made in the USA) but I wish the tips were finished a little bit better. Klein has a comfortable grip but rolls off of everything, the steel is nice but the tip doesn't fit as well as the European screwdrivers. The ideal screwdriver for me would be Felo cushion grip with PB Swiss shank and Wera laser tips. Though, let me be clear, even though I keep praising PB Swiss' steel; all of the European screwdrivers have great steel and are top notch quality. The only USA screwdriver that I cannot vouch for the steel are the Tektons because I rarely use them...but being that they're about the cost of the average Chinese screwdriver, I can still recommend them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the snap on, Milwaukee and Dewalt set. I personally like the snap on the best for all day use and Milwaukee for beaters. I'm looking in to getting the wiha, Wera or klein for my tool bag.

wildroamer Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Nice set, great price too. I looked at those before I opted for the Wiha's. If I wasn't looking for heavy duty might have gone that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T75R Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Wera makes a set of heavy duty ones as well. They're yellow. I guess it's how heavy duty you want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
