Wera 05118066001 Screwdriver Electronic Applications Review

This instrument replaces my original instrument. I chose it for its ergonomic grip and ease of use with a rotating finger grip on top. My original has been used almost daily for several years to tighten screws to adjust hook and needle spacing on sewing machines. I'm glad I got this to replace the original which I broke when I overtightened one of those set screws.

We have these tiny metric test socket screws in action. I've used a few other Wera drivers and knew they were good quality, so I bought one of these to make removing/reinstalling those little screws easier. A convenient design that allows you to "twist" the screwdriver with two fingers and apply force with your whole hand. The tip fits securely into the tiny 1.5mm screw head and doesn't seem to come loose. I definitely recommend it!

I use 1.5mm for m2 devices on drones and RC cars. The Hex-plus is great and the Kraftform handles are my favorite part of the Wera tools. These precision screwdriver handles are the perfect size to provide the right torque for those small screws. The small M2 screws break off quite easily if the torque is too high, especially when screwing into plastic. Also, I can turn and unscrew MUCH faster with these grips than with other grips. It fits perfectly in my hand no matter how I hold it!

I bought a pair of these specifically for my RBA/RTA vape tank build decks (Smok V8 Big Baby and V12 Prince). I'm tired of messing around with those stupid little L-witches that come with your RBA purchases. The Wera are top notch instruments as I have made several other instruments to purchase and have expected excellence from them. To be honest, because they're so small I was expecting them to be easy to round like most, but Wera excels in small packages too. Excellent purchase. Super happy!

0.9mm version required. It has a comfortable grip and is easy to hold compared to my tiny 0.9mm L wrench that came with the Strandberg guitar, which works, but this tool is better, easy to use and doesn't get lost . Put it in a guitar case and it won't get lost in the folds or crevices of the case. Just got this for light-hearted use for such a small L-wrench that's hard to find in a tool box. This one is easy to see. Works well, fits well, the shape isn't rounded so won't slip.

Hex head design is great for getting a good grip on 1.5mm hex head screws without rounding the screw. It holds well even with slightly rounded screws. There are no complaints about the design of the head. However, the grip seems cheap compared to other drivers I have. It's fairly thin, has grip points that aren't as effective as they should be, and is so light that it doesn't convey a "feel of quality". Of course it's not as expensive as a MIP driver or even Dynamite, but the grip was a bit…

This small 1.5mm hex saved the day when others failed. Just recently I thought I had a broken grub screw in my guitar bridge. All of my other Bondhus L-keys (and even Wera) couldn't move without turning. I was about to give up and grab the drill, but as a last resort, I tricked this guy and he grabbed it right away. The shank is thicker than any standard L-wrench, and the shape of the screwdriver allows for more consistent pressure and torque than an L-wrench. Yes, it's expensive for a single…

The hex on this sprocket should technically be better except the sprocket is tapered rather than the right size. This means no screws are left at the end. Also, it means you don't have a form-fitting fit so if you put a cap on at all, even a very small one, you'll slip off due to the taper at the end. This causes the screw and/or the head of the screwdriver to wear out and otherwise become damaged itself. That's a bad screwdriver. Good reviews are weird and I wouldn't trust them. It could be a…
