Wera 05004016001 8100 SA 6 Zyklop Metric Speed Ratchet Set, 28 Piece, 1/4" Drive

This tool kit is clutch. When I bought it I was working on refrigerated shipping containers and it was so helpful. Easy to put in a pocket or work bag and GREATLY reduced the tools you need to carry around. Presently, I don't use it as often, but it lives in my tool bag. I ended up buying a standard one later, because metric isnt as common in my new life, so just note which one youre getting. As of writing this, my set is nearing 5 years and is still trucking flawlessly. Quality and durability is great. My friends are all jealous.

This review is for the Wera Zyklop 1/4 inch flex head ratchet. This comes as a kit with sockets and bits. I have several other 1/4 inch flex head ratchets which lack most of the features of the Wera and are too small (see photo 3). I have large hands (athritic) and have a difficult time manipulating small tools. The sockets appear to be 6 point flank drive sockets. All parts of this kit are well finished. In general I prefer metal tool cases. This has a cloth type tool roll with rigid inserts to hold the square shape. It securely keeps all the tools in place and is very well made. The tool roll has a Velcro strip on the back for securing the tool roll for storage. This does have a button to release a socket, which many new ratchets do not have. I do mostly handy man type work and I like how this keeps most of the small bits for fasteners in one tool roll. While this kit has 15 different bits it is missing a few that I commonly use like square and blade bits. This tool kit is expensive but it is by far the best 1/4 inch flex head ratchet I have seen. My previous ratchets were too small and did not have a way to lock the angle. The reenforced tool roll came in a nice cardboard box with slide on lid (see photo 5). The tool roll is labled with a rubber replica of the ratchet. Most tools only come in a cheap plastic bag or hard shell plastic cover. I thought this tool was made in Germany but to my surprise I see it is made in the Czech Rep.

This is the most well thought out set I have ever purchased. I ride dual sports and enduro, wherever I go this is either in my tail bag or backpack. I’ve almost had this set for a year and I exclusively use it for bike maintenance and trail side fixes. The kit is well organized, everything snaps positively in place and the elastic holds everything well. I have never found anything loose in the case from riding rocky terrain or rough roads in a tail bag. The ratchet is great, can act as a screw driver or regular ratchet. Extensions work great for getting to hard to reach places. The wobble extension works fine but I’d rather have a universal joint and instead of the wobble extension just a regular extension would be fine. If you’re on the fence BUY IT NOW. Easily the best purchase I’ve made, and I would definitely get it over the Tool Check Plus. I recommend it to everyone I ride with.

By far mu favorite brand and set of tool, super easy to travel with. Especially if you work traveling a lot, great quality.

Great little tool kit from Wera in Wuppertal, Germany. Easily fits in a car’s glove box or a brief case. For the first few months, I thought the sockets were hard to remove from their plastics holders, but I had missed the design feature that lets you grab the base of the socket, then twist the socket about a quarter of a turn, which unlocks the socket, making it very easy to remove and use. When you put them back, reverse the procedure and lock them in place.

The fit and finish are excellent and evident right out of the box. You can tell the high level of thought and engineering that went into the design. The swivelling head, with the plastic sleeve, lets you go from ratchet to speed handle with the push of a button on longer fasteners. The wobble extension is a nice touch. The bit holder securely holds the bit. You move the collar towards the bit, so putting a bit in is a quick, natural motion. Attachments to the ratchet are a traditional push button. I was not able to force an attachment either on or off the ratchet without pressing the button. So, no searching engine comparts for fallen sockets/bits. The soft side carrying case is top notch I really like the socket holders and the socket sizes are stitched into fabric. So, yes I love these tools. Now nitpicks. Switching the ratchet from tighten to loosen has a bit of travel. The etching on the sockets and bits could be bolder or have more contrast. Overall, I think these are superior quality tools with below superior prices. Also check out the vendor Uberlegen. They seem passionate about quality tools. Their website will make tool lovers drool...

Simply outstanding. I keep this perfect set of tools nearby at all times. I don't think you'll find more functionality and value in a smaller package, other than perhaps your smartphone! No detail was overlooked in their design. These are some high quality tools.

Bought this to leave in the snowmobile for small repair needs. Great quality and super convenient storage

Everything is very well made and even better designed. Some may quibble about the price but this set will last you a lifetime time and your children’s. It’s just exquisite and I am looking for things to go around and use it on 😆 To start in this kit all of the bits are made to a very very high standard. They are held very securely in the case. The zyklops system itself is very tactile. Just a pleasure to use. I was that impressed I ordered another two pieces of their equipment and an expensive torque wrench for my bike. I just love it.

Awsome tools, Great quality

Il kit Wera 8100 SA 6 è semplicemente uno dei migliori set da 1/4" in circolazione. La qualità costruttiva è altissima: il cricchetto Zyklop Speed è fluido, robusto e regolabile in angolazione, rendendolo estremamente versatile per lavorare anche in spazi stretti o scomodi. Le bussole e gli inserti inclusi coprono le misure metriche più comuni e sono ben organizzati nella pratica custodia. Tutto è ben rifinito e pensato per durare nel tempo. Un must-have nella cassetta degli attrezzi, sia per uso professionale che amatoriale. Io l’ho reso solo perché l’ho trovato scontato in un negozio fisico, ma il prodotto è davvero eccellente. Wera si conferma una garanzia in termini di affidabilità e ingegneria. Se trovate un buon prezzo, non lasciatevelo scappare.

Really handy sets of tools, very flexible and easily change tool bits or socket in any occasion. Switching from a 90 degree to 180 is so easy during tightening of bolt or nut makes job flow so much smoother. Really like it and using it daily. Do me a favour get one for yourself and you won't regret it.
