Wera 5051045001 Tools 26Pc Zyklop Ratchet ¼" Socket and Bit Set with pouch (Metric)

While this is still expensive at half off retail, it is a great tool.+ You can definitely tell it's German engineered: awesome design; super cool pivoting ratchet head; lots of ingenious design components; great bit set.- You can definitely tell it's made in the Czech Republic: a few minor cosmetic things here and there which are lacking; still high quality.The ratchet works well. It has a 5-degree ratcheting mechanism, which is awesome for a 1/4" ratchet. As no doubt you've noticed, the pivoting head is a great feature. Because this ratchet is small (as most 1/4" ratchets are), when you pivot the head 90 degrees it works like a ratcheting screwdriver. Super cool! It has a button to lock on sockets/bits (again, like higher quality ratchets do).The pouch it comes in does a great job of keeping everything together, and does so without plastic! I'm tired of all tool sets these days coming in crappy plastic containers that are overly bulky, yet flimsy. This canvas job works well, although since every piece is held in by elastic bands, I'm concerned over time the parts won't stay in. (And a minor gripe: the elastic bands holding in the ratchet - the one thing you need to take out EVERY time - are too tight, and it takes a while to get it out of its case.)I'm not sure the Amazon page lists this: it comes with PH1, 2, 3; SL 5.5mm; Torx 10, 15, 20, 25, 27, 30; Hex 3mm, 4, 5, 6; Pozidriv 1, 2; and metric sockets 5.5mm, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13. The flat sides of the hex bits are rounded; haven't checked that they work well, but I'm sure that's for a reason. The sockets, as you might agree, come in some odd sizes... The quick-release chuck included for the driver bits is unfortunately not as well-functioning as Wera 05052500003 W/Quick-Release Chuck Universal Bit Holder, despite looking the same. Also included is a long extender (150mm I believe).

Great socket wrenches very good quality

Working in a metal shop this kit comes in handy all throughout the day. Going from one job or process to the next, this kit gives you a great collection of required items all in a convenient pouch. The Ratchet is a quality piece, the gears and interaction of the ratchet mechanism are smooth, consistent, and strong. Even with this little 1/4 ratchet I can accomplish sizable work at great convenience to myself or the job I'm working due to the innovative nature of the tool. Easily and quickly switch from one task to the next with a minimum reconfiguration of the many options given in this set. It's a great set for any mechanical work, emergency roadside troubleshooting, metalwork and the setup of various jobs and orientations therein. Overall I'd say very pleased with the quality and performance I've received from this item, I plan to expand the set down the road as well.

This is one of my favorite tools (sets), there is nothing that comes close to its precision, versatility, strength, and function. Expensive yes, but using it creates believers.

I'm an automation mechanic and I recently purchased this set for work. I have used it almost every day since and I'm very satisfied with the item.Pros:The ratcheting action is very smooth and relatively precise.It comes with many useful sockets and bits. The torx bits have been particularly useful for me.The pouch is compact and easily fits in my tool bag.Cons:There is some play in the ratchet head. Not just where the head attaches to the handle, although there is play there as well. But within the head there is some wobble as well. Add to that there is also play inherent in the design because you can rotate the head and the slots to "lock" it into a certain position are larger than the pin that secures it. With the extension attached, you get about 1/2" of deflection from the handle to the socket because every link adds just a little more overall play.The extension is quite long. Would be really nice to also have a second shorter extension.The elastic bands that hold the ratchet are kind of annoying because you really have to fight them getting the ratchet into and out of them. I also doubt they will hold up for anything longer than a year with daily use.

all the correct sizes for small jobs and easy to carry spots for all the tools so you know what you are missing

The ZYKlop ratchet is junk and is not serviceable! Its not durable first using it on 10mm bolt i felt it skip then CrAcK 2-3 teeth broke off inside the ball ratchet This thing is more prone to breakage then a children's plastic tool set , ok i blamed myself at first thinking i overdid it so using it with the broken ratchet now the rotating ball pulls out rolling down the floor, Don't beat yourself up this is true junk.

Perfect Tool set there are few exception with the set. Adapters and extension that came with the unit won't hold socket or bits very well sometime fall off and 1/4 are little small but good for tight spaces. Overall the get is perfect for example building IKEA furniture's or building cabinet there's also one slight issues but nothing major is release the adapters and socket either from middle button or push lever up in order to remove. Wera tools are always great.
