Review on πŸ”§ Wiha 71397 Hex Metric Insert Bit Set - 2.0 to 6.0mm - 6-Piece by Mike West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bits, Wiha are second to none in their hex bits

A handy metric set to add to another set I have. These are great bits and if you are new to Wiha you will find that they are significantly better in size and strength than most other bits from any brand. They moved to Vietnam from Germany a few years ago, but the "new ones" honestly seem to be just as good as the old ones - there's really no difference between a 4-bit system or regular 1/4" ones - Bits, even the smallest. , except they're now pickled instead of stamped. I don't even know if any manufacturers in the US still make hex bits, but since gradually switching to full Wiha over the years I guess I think these are better than all the other American brands I've used for many years including Apex I can't believe the low star reviews here are complaining about the plastic bit holder god one makes one wonder whether these people used beats at all before 'testing' them my only complaint would be nice to have 1.5mm and maybe 8mm in a set of bands like this.

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
  • not bad
