BMack37 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I really like that the Wera(and Wiha) have the thumb wheel, the Felo does not...I can push on the back to apply force to allow it to ratchet but the thumb wheel would make it even easier. i actually already have two bit ratchets, I have a cheap Neiko which is just super thin for really tight areas.

Fazzman Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have that same Wera mini bit ratchet,that thing is awesome,I also have a US made craftsman one too that isnt horrible. The Neiko one you posted is similar to the craftsman one,ill try and post some pics of the two later. for pics on mobile get the photobucket app on your phone,then you can select all the pics and it gives you one link to post makes it way easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah,angled would be nice but its so little it doesnt matter. These are awesome for getting into thompson linear bearing rails and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 How has the lazer etching held up on the tips of your guys screwdrivers? Does it eventually wear off or does it stay on. This is what my ph2 screwdriver looks like after some use. Some of the gold coating has worn off but it still fits great so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Mine has been holding up but I mostly split time between the Weras and Felos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm assuming it depends on the depth of the etching...JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T75R Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 What's up gents! I posted about needing help with my screwdriver needs on another thread so I figured I would stick to the one that is on topic. You guys highly recommend the laser tips. How does the yellow set hold up? Which ones would be better for general use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about needing help with my screwdriver needs on another thread so I figured I would stick to the one that is on topic. You guys highly recommend the laser tips. How does the yellow set hold up? Which ones would be better for general use?so far i love my laser tips on the weras. They have been holding up great with occasional use so far. I put in a kitchen sink last week and used a slotted driver for turning all of the clips to clamp the sink down. The screwdriver never slipped on 12 clamps. The chisel driver set does not have the laser tips. Im sure they will hold up great. The set I bought is great for general use if not using them as chisel drivers. These would be a great set for the price. http://www.kctoolco.com/wera-334-6-slotted-phillips-screwdriver-set-rack-p/wr105650.htmI dont believe they have the hex bolsters though. Not needed but nice to have just because. The wera's grip is very subjective. I do prefer the grip on my wiha's from a comfort standpoint but the odd shape of the wera's allow for great grip and torque. I havent tried any felos but have hear nothing but good things. Like I said before if I hadnt gotten my wera's I would have purchased that large felo set that kctoolco has on sale for today only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 They are,even if you have big hands they work pretty well. the Wiha one above is ESD safe too which is nice for messing with electronics and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 That Wiha kit was on sale from KC for $60, heard they plan on doing it again because it sold well. Think their price on eBay is cheaper than Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to imagine they'll do it again this month, even if they don't theyre still $75 on KC Tool everyday. It's not a bad deal at all imo.
