Review on Wera 05004018001 Zyklop Metric Ratchet by Rodney Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sophisticated small metric set suitable for those who need a compact and portable set

First of all I like the quality and craftsmanship of Wera Tools but this small set is very compact with a nice satin finish and pretty cool overall. I wanted something small, attractive, well made and compact that I could easily carry in my glove box to keep handy or slip into my purse when needed. Thing, I think it's a good compact set for your wife, girlfriend, daughter or anyone else if they don't have a small handy set for things. If they are unfamiliar with its use, teach them. I like making things for myself so I find this set very handy. This set is relatively light (less than 1 1/2 lbs) and the whole set folds up very easily and nicely into a small attractive case. Like all my other Wera instruments, the instruments themselves are very well made and reflect German engineering. I find that many of the products, screws and fasteners that I buy these days are substandard and this set offers a good selection to meet most of my needs. The set includes: 1 x 5.0x23.0 1 x 5.5x23.0 and higher through 1 head 13.0x23.0, 1 PZ 1x25 and 1 PZ 2x25 PZ, 1 x PH 1x25 2x25 1 and 3x25 cross, 1 x TX 10x25 15x25 20x25 25x25 27x25 and 30x25 TORX, 1 x 3.0x25 5.0x25 and 6.0x25 HEXPlus. 1/4" metal Zyklop handle with shifter that's great for tight workspaces. 1/4 x 150mm (6") extension, 1/4 x 56mm (2.2") universal extension and locking socket adapter One thing you will notice about this kit is that it doesn't come with standard SAE fittings, but you probably already have a lot - I'm right! If not, Wera also offers them as a set or individually .

Pros
  • Hex-Plus allows longer life of socket head screws
Cons
  • No power
