Wera 8100 SA/SC 2 1/4" & 1/2" Zyklop Speed Ratchet Set, 43PC - 05160785001

I have been looking for some time for a new socket set and whilst this is expensive I consider it to be well worth the money. It is beautifully made, stored in a well made container. I have not used in anger yet but tried out the various combinations of ratchets and sockets. It all seems very easy to use and very versatile. I particularly like the fact you can turn the handle to the vertical position to allow the initial tightening of the nut. The ratchet is easy to reverse using the knurled ring. The only handle that does not have a ratchet on is the screwdriver handle. Overall very impressed and would recommend without reservation.

Great ratchet and socket set. Great quality and super versatile with the zyklop swivel head meaning awkward angles can be tackled. Great kit featuring both 1/2 and 3/8 inch ratchets and a hex head handle for screwdriver use. Heavy duty metal case and great lining ensuring tools are firmly secured when not in use. Well worth the money.

Very good quality at an affordable price

I bought this for my home toolkit after spotting it mis-priced on Amazon having been drooling over it for a while. Unfortunately the price has since gone back up. It is a beautifully made set and lives up to all the marketing promises of making work easier and faster. Just be a little bit careful with it when you're learning to use it - if you find yourself needing to use force to remove a socket or change a position you probably need to press a button or slide something to release it!

I have been waiting for this for 2 yrs,my husband is a Gas Safe Registered Engineer and he needs this for his Gas Boiler works. The best tools you can ever buy is WERA also I had the opportunity to buy this for £43 per month for 5 months interest free which was perfect for me as we do not get involved with RIBA (interests)

I found this set to be great and useful. The ratchet pivoting head adjustment has made an otherwise tricky task, straight forward (particularly with interiors), and doubles up as a screwdriver. It's a feature I regularly use. The 'fine toothed' mechanism has also helped in some tight spaces where there simply wasn't enough room to ratchet with a standard mechanism. The quick release connector, 8764 A1, is fantastic and allows quick changing of bits. Whilst the small sockets can be used the connector is the only thing that can keep screwdriver bits in place. The black plastic sleeves on the extensions, and main ratchet, are free moving allowing them to be held whilst (un)screwing. Probably useful when using gloves that would otherwise grip and be more awkward to use. The foam inside the case shows the part numbers of each major part which is helpful to replace pieces when lost or broken. In my case I have had to reorder a new connector (8764 A1) and small extension (8796 SA) for ~£20 since I am unable to separate the pair. Seems the locking ball on the extension has just locked in place despite the green side button being depressed. No amount of increasing coercion has worked. An unexpected additional cost on already a premium purchase. Generally the product feels of very good quality and well thought out. The advantages of the design, availability and ease of obtaining new or extra components outweigh the issue I have had so I wouldn't be put off buying Wera again at the right price.

quality

Wera speed rachet is amazing - very clever tool that is quality piece - no play in the components, just nice tight fit with really good rachet return of just 5 degrees making it effective in limited spaces

Good for working on bikes.

Trabaja muy bien

i decided to do my own bicycle work after getting burned at a bike shop. wanted something that wasn't park tool expensive, this seemed like an obvious choice and I'm glad I did. the tools just ooze quality and sturdiness. the swivel head has come in handy in tight spots. i have no complaints about this tool kit NOT ONE, well maybe one the price but well worth EVERY PENNY. because of all the things I mentioned, my collection of tools from wera will grow after this purchase for sure. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good set of quality tools.

Set di attrezzi completissimo e di ottima qualità, sicuramente 235€ non sono pochi ma la qualità si vede e si avverte ad ogni utilizzo. Lo ricomprerei ad occhi chiusi.

Hará como dos años compré una carraca de esta marca en la comercial en que compro habitualmente las herramientas. Tengo un negocio y por tanto siempre compro herramienta profesional. Cuando el chico me la puso encima de la mesa y me dijo que costaba 78 euros más iva me la quedé mirando preguntándome porqué era tan cara. Le vi calidad y la compré. No me arrepentí en absoluto, ya que aparte de la calidad te permite trabajar en varias posiciones en lugares con poco espacio. Fué un poco cara, pero lo barato a veces es caro y en este caso lo caro fue barato. Por tanto compré este estuche sabiendo lo que compraba. Y por su calidad no es caro. Lo recibí hace dos días y ya la primera impresión es fantástica. He visto muchos estuches y de buenas marcas, pero como este ninguno, ya que el propio estuche es de calidad y cuidado al máximo detalle. Es una pasta, pero para usarlo profesionalmente es maravilla. Por ponerle un defecto se echa de menos un dado de 11 mm.
