Review on Wera 05004018001 Zyklop Metric Ratchet by Chris Pettway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wera makes tools that are designed and built to be as good as anything the leading hand tool manufacturers make and this set is no different.

They are designed in Germany and made there or in the Czech Republic and there are some nice design elements that set them apart from other brands: the finish is satin instead of polished; Hex bits and heads are convex to increase driving power; Bushings have a knurled ring to facilitate hand tightening of nuts; A small extension is a "Swing Drive" (a kind of universal adapter). All in all, this is a great tool set in a compact case. By the way, this tool set has a ratchet with a metal handle and a lever for changing the direction of movement. They also make one with an ergonomic grip and one with a through drive design, both are good but I prefer that style. there

Pros
  • Very strong with no torque limit
Cons
  • Long delivery time
