Wera05004048001 8100 SB 8 Zyklop Metal Ratchet Set with switch lever, 3/8" drive, metric, 29 pieces

Worth every penny and solid tool

I take this everywhere I go with me being a HGV technician, and I really put it through its paces. The set has been run over by an 18 tonne vehicle without a scratch. Too bad the ratchet started to slip after two years. Sockets, bits and extensions are still going strong. Even with the ratchet needing to be replaced, I would still recommended purchasing this set, in 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2 sizes.

Top quality ratchet set not much more to say as it's Wera 🤷

Good Stuff: - Ratchet feels solid and has a slim profile - Bit adaptor has a really nice locking feature as per most Wera products - Short wobble extension has a lot of angle it can drive a socket at, more so that usual wobble drive extensions that can be both wobble and standard.- Compact case, good everyday carry kit.Not-so-Good stuff: - Chrome finish on the sockets is surprisingly poor; chrome flaking and a patchy finish the 19mm socket right out of the box - Everything has more 'slop' than expected, all the sockets/extensions have a fair amount of play once connectedOverall the downsides won't affect functionality all that much, but for the price, the equivalent Facom set (for about the same money currently) would feel completely solid and probably wouldn't have a flaky finish. I'm still glad to have this in my tool kit.

Product is well designed and a decent kit the quality is nice and I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a set,I do have a couple of issues with it. The first and reason I will be sending it back is it isn't compatible with the wera 2 go system which it states it is on the pictures. Being compatible was a big reason that I looked at this set (the zyklop speed is compatible if you want a similar set).My second issue with it is the number of bits for screwdrivers (cross and flat) included with this kit and the lack of larger hex bits (Allen key) . Who uses screw driver bits on a 1/2 ratchet?Feel like wera have missed a trick here. Great set but needed that velcro on the back and idealy bigger hex bits to be of any use to me...I will be replacing it with a kit that is compatible with the 2go system.

this set is really nice. High quality as with all Wera, clearly labelled, and a nice handle. I'm slightly concerned one day the selector for the ratchet direction will break off, but I think if it's kept well it should be ok. This combined with the maintenance kit (with VDE drivers and zyclops 3/8 sockets) can satsify most hand tool requirements for basically any job, for around £200 for both.

Great product as usual from Wera, only down side is it is not Wera 2 go compatible as stated, as it does not have the hook and loop section on the back.

Excellent quality as usual from Wera tools. Easy to use with long enough ratchet handle to be able to operate in tight locations, swivel on extension head is really handy to get to awkward bolts
