    Does anyone use or have used Wera screwdrivers. Looking to buy some new tools and saw the Wera brand. Look good in the catalouges, but never heard them mention before by anyone.

    Hi.

    I'd stack Wera alongside C.K, Draper, Stanley....middle of the road pretty solid.

    Izzys top dog though.

    Wow......£150 for that first set.

    That set of Izzys is like the one I have, very good.

    I wouldn't buy another Snap On "anything" so long as I have a hole in my rear end lol

    For their price the "TOOL" would have to polish the car and make the tea too

    The only drawback with the Irazolas is the length of the pozi ones, a cheapo draper one will often get into more awkward spaces. Also the majority of irazola kits will only come with phillips and not pozi drivers!
    They used to be for sale all over and you could take snapped ones back for a free swap but I hardly see them now. The kewtechnic copys seem pretty good so far.

    Just ordered one of those snap on drivers just for interest's sake. Have used all the above drivers have found the Bahco soft grip ones best, especially the slotted drivers really thin handles and shafts to get right into the back of CU etc.

    Irazola are far & away the best I've used although I do agree with Eggster71 about the pozzi's. Also if you do go for Irazola get the Techno+ not the sensor range - better handles IMO
