Very nice for field work, or if you're really tight on space.Been looking for this for years. Everything in one tool roll, at last !
I have both a System 4, P/N 26985 (Philips, Slot, Torx set for the US) and System 6 set (started with below, and added all the security blades offered at the time, along with a few others).
FWIW, I like the style of pouch yours comes in better, as you can see both ends of the blades (i.e. find the right one faster).
Hi Nano,
I'm the kind of guy that likes having all my gear in one (large) bag. I don't have a garage nor any dedicated room for my stuff so I try to keep thing neat and tidy. I do agree the Wiha set on a bit on the expensive side. I was considering having separate micro screwdrivers but at the end of the day, this solution was taking more space and I like the convenient tool roll.
FYI, I've bought the Wiha set for 65€ on Amazon which is give or take $90 USD...

I do the same for a field kit. Packs lighter too, and only keep a couple of dedicated drivers for the most common screws (Philips #1 & #2 here, presume Pozi-Drive variants instead in the EU).
They do seem pricey on the surface, but it's not all that bad if I step back and think about it.
I say this, because most of the time you get tips on both ends, so it works out to about the same as a single decent mid-range or lower cost top-end driver (figure SK, Felo, Wiha, Wera pricing here). Handles are expensive if bought separately, but that's easily solved by starting with a kit, and building up from there.
Nutdrivers OTOH are expensive IMHO, and you can do better if a dedicated set will be sufficient (necessity if you need hollow shafts, which I prefer). I opted to use deep sockets for this.
Swapping tools a lot isn't exactly ideal, but it doesn't burn that much time (carrying a couple of extra handles can really help reduce this). All comes down to priorities I guess. See it as a must for field work.
Sounds like you got a reasonable price for the EU market (paid 80USD delivered a few years ago IIRC).
Channellock set from Menard's, more info in the Hot Deals section.

I also picked up a Malco siding tool, since I got volunteered to help with a siding project. Then I grabbed a new utility knife for my turnout gear at the FD. The current one I have was a el cheapo on sale that is literally a PITA to get back together. This is a Classic 99 from Stanley made in the USA.

i´m sorryMy latest tools arrivals (some are a few months old already - but most (all ? ahahah) of them are Monte's fault
)
btw. where is the Leica made ?
Met the SO truck today. Had a deal where if you bought an item out of a certain pile he'd throw in the neon clock. I picked a set of 1/2" impact sockets.
I got the torque wrench because I never trusted the ones I bought from HF. A bit of a splurge but I feel confident that everything will be torqued properly now.

Craftsman 1/4" speeder and flex extension. I got 2 of each for less than $1, for some reason they were a local in store deal. No coupon code or points used just a good old fashioned fork up by Sears. Pic shows one of each because i already gave the neighbor his. Speeder is USA and the extension was chinese but i exchanged for the taiwan.

Splurge is an understatement for buying a tech angle on a whim. It's one helluva wrench that'll do just about anything you'd ever need working on cars.
Not so much a whim. I've researched them online for a while and it's the main reason I was meeting the dealer. I just wanted to hold it in hand and check it out firsthand.
It does way more than I need for sure but like I said above. It will cover the torque range for 3 other torque wrenches I currently own all on one drive size plus come with the snap on warranty and confidence in performance.

Great pic, a nice chunk spent on snap on and the HF coupons in the background. Funny as hell.

Picked up a harbor freight 3 rail set and slapped them on a piece of scrap stainless. Cheap socket tray for my roll cart at work. And if someone decides to take it I'm out of 3 bucks total lol.

Instructions ? ? ?
No wonder My welding is so ordinary,
... I just thought it was a matter of plug the things in ... and make sparks ..
Nice looking unit ..
Back on topic ...
... bought some bits & pieces today.
Found a set of screwdrivers that looked ideal - for poking around in power points and up in the dashboard of the car.
Easy clean and the handles arent too bulky.
Made in Taiwan ... but at the least the manufacturer is brave enough to display their brand on them ..
The website is a fun read ..

******* awesome air gun. It comes with 3 different nozzle I see. Great find.
Decided to buy a complete set of SAE and Metric flare wrenches ($133.99). I was tired of using a mismatched set. I also purchased the 33 piece bit socket super set ($233.97). The fit and finish of the SK tools are WONDERFUL. I am completely sold on SK tools, and will continue to purchase all SK in the future.
Also purchased the Precision Instruments (PREC3FR250F) 1/2" Dr. "Split Beam" Torque Wrench with Flex head (40-250 Ft./Lbs) for $161.99
