    This comes late but heres comparison of hazet, wiha, wera bitratchet(I put also ko-ken 1/4 zeal ratchet althought it isnt bitratchet, but if you use it with bitsocket, it isnt so much longer...) Hazet is the biggest and less tooth, maybe 22 or 30 but its strongest and the handle works with...

    I took the 3/8 drive, figured i have more 3/8sized sockets for the use than 1/2. Only wish that i would bought the version with more bits on it...it was only 30€ more and there would be 10-20 bits more(the 4 bits that came with the driver, looks that you can really put some force into it :))..

    Thanks for the info. The older elora wrenches and sockets that i own, is real good(maybe just a little bit under hazet and stahlwille for what comes to chromes quality or thickness) but overall real durable stuff.

    Hazet head lamp looks quite the same as led lenser. Led lenser used to be good, i don’t know what is the quality these days. Pezl is another good one.

    Any of you guys more familiar with koken sockets and ratchets? I mainly use stahlwille and hazet but they dont offer so shallow sockets and ratchets than koken(as far as i know). How do they level up with hazet or stahlwille in long term use? I'm looking a 3/8 ratchet with extra shallow sockets...
