Wera vs Klein

[Mondo1310]

Looking to expand my garage tools been looking for new set of screwdrivers. I have a set of snap on at work but not wanting to spend $175 on another set and tired of bring them back and forth to work. I like the Weras unique handles and Phillips head design. Also like the familiarity of the Klein. Any other recommendations from the crew would be appreciated.

I really like PB Swiss screwdrivers with the "Swiss Grip" handles. They are a bit pricy, but they are really well made and the Santoprene handles are very comfortable in the hand. You can check them out at Tool Lady or Count on Tools.

I have Wiha and Felo, and like them both. I've played with Wera, and liked to give them a try. I'd also like to try PBS Swiss as well.

I can vouch for the wera, I use there chisel driver screwdriver set and pozi impaktor bits. Both are great but can't compare to klein as I've never used

I've got the Wera and a couple of Klein drivers and love them both. The Weras have the engraved tips to prevent cam out and they are really comfortable. My Klein tools are just awesome and my biggy....USA made. But Wera screwdrivers are awesome and I got for them first. I would like to try the Wiha drivers out as well as Felo.

If I were you I would give proto duratek some consideration. I have a few sets at home an work. I would take them over snap on screw drivers any day.

Price point isn't cheap but there still cheaper then the snap ons.

Another wera vote.

I was thinking of picking up some weras. I like the etched tps for extra grip.

Wiha,wera,Felo are my go to brands for screwdrivers,The handles are a great fit even with large hands.  Kleins are good too,as are several others like the Protos mentioned above,personally for me its all how they feel in the hand.

That's a hell of deal. Let us know how that wera ratchet works out.

Thanks Mondo, I couldn't believe they accepted my offer on that one. I might shoot a quick unboxing video when it gets in as I've heard this is a killer set.

Proto Duratc Sets from Zoro.com

You can thank me later

Proto ftw

[Pennywise]

Used wiha, wera and bahco now onto Irazola, hands down the best drivers I've ever used and I'm using them on a daily basis as an electrician.

Wera bro. Hands down, buddy at work has them and they are sick. Id say as good as snap on. If on low budget, Milwaukee. I recently picked one up and they're nice for the price.

I like them and look good in the toolbag too. I like them better than the Dewalt i had prior.

Wera are very good. I use CK VDE drivers that are made in Germany and very good quality. Big here in UK/Europe.

Wera.

I have been using mine for 2 years. Comfort, grip and torque are better than Klein. I find the tips are better too. Grips the screw better and the robertsons don't round off.

Since you are using them in a garage i'm gonna add on to everyone else and say Proto Duratek Screwdrivers.

I like my Milwaukee screwdrivers. They're good for everyday beaters. One thing I really don't like though is the fact that Milwaukee screwdrivers only have a + or - on the handle. There's nothing to indicate tip size, length or anything else. I'm slowly switching over to Klein drivers for just this reason.

I had dewalt ones that had zero indication and had to use a sharpie to identify. U can see them. You can see them on the left side of the bag. All they had was blue and red wich really sucked. As far as size i had positioned the smaller sizes down low.

I HATE Klein screwdrivers. It's not that they are poor quality but they are a poor design...don't get me wrong, the rubber handle is great but because of the balance point, they don't lay on the rubber ridges on the grip...so they roll off everything. I really like trilateral designs because they just plop down and rest where you put them. I'm fond of my Witte maxxpro plus but I see a HUGE following for Wera. Wera might be the next addition to my tool box.
