Brand or discounter? PC screwdrivers, ambitious do-it-yourselfers and craftsmen often don’t even ask themselves this question. You want durable tools, not throwaway items that won’t even last you a move. German companies are still excellently positioned here. Be it Wiha, Hazet, Gedore, Knipex or Wera. Last but not least, Wera is firmly anchored in the minds of the younger generation. You present yourself as a “tool rebel” on social media, for example. However, their tools are usually not cheap. Fortunately, you can buy the brand quality of the Wuppertaler from time to time on offer. Various tools are currently on sale at Amazon below the price of the last few weeks. There are VDE screwdrivers as a set, bit screwdrivers with long bits, a ratchet screwdriver and an Allen key set, but also the Zyklop ratchet in a mini version – one for the trouser pocket and one as a bicycle set for the bicycle Trip. But how long are the offers valid? Experience has shown that only for a short time and while stocks last.
Buy Wera Kraftform screwdrivers in the Amazon sale: VDE screwdriver, ratchet screwdriver, 7-part. Set from 25 euros
While Wera sells its ratchets under the Zyklop label and markets open-end wrenches as jokers, the Kraftform handle is used for its screwdrivers. Developed decades ago together with the Fraunhofer Institute, the handle design, which is adapted to the human hand, can still be found today on every screwdriver made by the Wuppertal company. This can be a screwdriver set, a ratchet screwdriver or a bit holder. In this area, Amazon actually sells several products below the median price of the last 90 days. If you want to add a ratchet screwdriver with retractable bits to your tool case, you currently only pay 27.99 euros instead of 33.99 euros. Such a tool promises a more effective and comfortable screwing than a normal screwdriver. The tool offers a maximum torque of up to 50 Newton meters, a switching ring (right, left, fixed) and a 1/4-inch hexagon socket with a stainless steel sleeve and permanent magnet. For the electricians among you, Amazon sells two sets of screwdrivers cheaper. Six insulated VDE stainless steel blades for safe work up to 1,000 volts only cost you 30.19 euros instead of 35.58 euros at the time the article was created. It doesn’t necessarily have to be stainless steel, you can buy a 7-piece tool set for 24.49 instead of 28.90 euros. Here you get a voltage tester as a bonus in addition to the six screwdrivers. Both sets come with a hexagonal anti-roll feature to prevent them from rolling away, “Take it easy” color coding and a holder.

Wera Kraftform compact with long bits & interchangeable blades: a comprehensive tool set is available from 40 euros, the L-key set for 25 euros

Wera has put together a set consisting of a VDE-insulated bit holder with a set of interchangeable blades, also insulated according to VDE standards, offered for sale in the Wuppertal company’s typical folding pouch. 14 VDE interchangeable blades are available here, and customers also receive a voltage tester.

According to Wera, the scope of delivery includes PH, PZ, PZ/S and Torx. While the median selling price in the last 90 days was 47.07 euros, you can buy the set for just 39.89 euros at the time the article was created buy. An alternative, albeit no longer VDE-insulated, is the Wera folding pouch with 89 mm long bits and Kraftform hand holder. In addition to the quick-change chuck with Rapidaptor technology, an extremely extensive bit set awaits you here. Since the bits are long, i.e. the bit holder was not installed as a chunky thing at the tip of the shaft, you should also get into hard-to-reach corners with the bits: for example on your gaming PC. On the plus side are three Phillips bits, three Phillips bits (Pozidriv), eight TORX BO bits, six Hex-Plus BO bits, one slotted bit, three TORQ-SET-Mplus bits, four TRI-WING bits and four Z spanner bits.

If you don’t need that many bits, you can also buy the slimmed-down version with Torx bits, among other things. At the time we were writing this news, it was €44.79 instead of €52.95. If you want an L-key set, there is also a cheaper one: you can get a metric tool set consisting of nine parts for 24.59 euros instead of 28.99 euros.

Who is better, Knipex, Wiha or Wera? This distinguishes tools from German manufacturers
Knipex, Wera or Wiha? Who is better? This question is probably as difficult to answer as the question of whether Coca-Cola or Pepsi is the better product. After all, Wera, like Wiha, like Knipex are considered to be the leading suppliers when it comes to tools. Wera Werkzeug GmbH has existed for a good 90 years and is based in Wuppertal in North Rhine-Westphalia, almost in the immediate vicinity of pliers specialist (crimping pliers, side cutters) Knipex. Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH also comes from Germany, but is based in Schonach in the Black Forest. Interestingly enough, however, Wiha’s roots also lie in Wuppertal – namely in Willi Hahn GmbH & Co. KG, which was founded in 1939. Both Wiha and Wera deal with topics such as screwdrivers and pliers, but go their own way in some areas. Wera has made a name for itself in recent years with the “Wera Kraftform handle” and Joker open-end and ring ratchet wrenches. To this end, Wiha is also represented when it comes to side cutters, water pump pliers and stripping tools – the core of the Knipex brand. Speaking of German providers, Hazet and Gedore should not be missing. Both manufacturers come from Remscheid. And where might that be? Not far from Wuppertal. Tool competence is obviously a specialty of the region, just as knives and blades are closely linked to Solingen. By the way: You can buy Wera’s “Kraftform Micro Big Pack 1 screwdriver set” with 25 screwdrivers for electronics technicians after a 60% discount on the RRP for only 75.11 euros. Although the set is often discounted on Amazon, it has been around 80 euros in recent weeks.
