/diy/ - Do It Yourself

It’s because the Wera stuff besides the screwdriver is all just “ok”, and in the US, even though the prices here aren’t crazy from importers, you can get Asian made sockets and ratchets of the same quality for about 1/3 of the price of the Wera.

And the stuff where they try to reinvent the wheel just doesn’t work well. Gearwrench tried it with their ratcheting flare nut wrenches as well. Shit works good on some German design bench and test rig, but not in the trades.

This stupid little bit set was like $90, and the biggest appeal to it is the neat storage system, but the holders for a bunch of the pieces are made of shitty plastic that doesn’t hold up to any real use. Gearwrench or Sunex will sell you a micro ratchet kit for $20-$35, Icon has a decent set like this for $30-$40, and even the Japan-made Tone kit on Amazon is less than half the price of the Wera.

Nah they’re all weekender brands. Never said Parkside was a pro brand. I’m saying don’t put Green Bosch on a pedestal because it says “Bosch”
