Wera advent calendar for 2016

[Gautama]

Looks like Wera already has their 2016 advent calendars available in the U.K.: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01GQ543X2/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

Planning on getting one this year if I can find a distributor in the US and the price isn't outrageous.

Looks like Wiha's has been announced as well (but not shipping yet): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...t+calendar&dpPl=1&dpID=5180RjAly9L&ref=plSrch

As a kid I never had the discipline to follow the calendar when a piece of chocolate was behind each door...I wouldn't stand a chance with one with Wera tools!

 

[Gautama]

Looks like a nice selection of tools, as well (I'm impatient as well and looked at photos of what's inside). I won't list the contents so as to ruin it for anyone else!

Is KCToolCo going to have these in the US?

 

[firworks]

I've never even heard of this before... a tool advent calender? Also, SOLD! Hey KC Tool put these up and I'll buy one with extreme prejudice.

 

[upgrading]

I don't think they sell good over here.
I don't think anyone had the 2015 of either Wera or Wiha.

 

[Gautama]

I bet there'd be enough people here to make it worthwhile for GHT or KCToolCo. I'd be interested. Maybe in the past the cost has been a deterrent, but I would imagine the exchange rate being better now should help.

Edit: Even with the improved exchange rate it's still around $70.

 

[M6erfan]

Whaaaat? Why don't we have these avail in the U.S.???

 

[logikal]

you could just buy it from amazon.co.uk.....comes to about $70 USD. Ordered.

Which seller did you use? All the ones I looked at said they didn't ship to the US.

 

[firworks]

I sent KCT_Jordan a PM about the possibility of carrying these for the upcoming season. We'll see what they say. I'd prefer to not have to try to figure out buying from Amazon.co.uk.

 

[firworks]

I didn't get a response but they do have the advent calender now! 68$

Apparently, the only way to get one this year is via a source like KC Tools. I messaged Wera North America and their president responded that they won't have them available this year but are going to try to get them up on Amazon the next holiday season.

Just a heads up kctool is selling them on amazon as well.

This is the first time I've heard of a tool Advent calendar. Anyone have an idea what the tool value is without the calendar?

It is a little hard to say for sure. There are 2 items exclusive to the advent calendar (small bit holder, and wall screwdriver rack), but it is roughly $137.00. Sale price is $68.00 with limited supply.

I bought one two years ago and I can't remember exactly what I received but I was pleased. A joker wrench, bit driver pack and micro screwdrivers. Cool marketing gimmick.

And of course it never made it through the twelve days!

I was able to get mine from Italy. All of the US suppliers ran out

From which site and how much did it run you?

I guess that is one of the perks of living in Germany

I have this year's Adventskalender from Wera and I've had one the last 4 years as well.

This year I also ordered the Wiha one. Germany has 3 well known tool makers that make one each year. Wera, Wiha and KWB. I have yet to try the KWB.

You guys can easily check them out on Amazon.de and search for werkzeug adventskalender

Some of these are still available in stores, most stores that don't sell them open them all up and just sell them as sets.

I think the best thing in the Wera one is each year there is a bottle opener (Germans must drink beer and have a classy bottle opener) I will now have 4 different colored handles after this year.

 

[KNIPEX 87]

It was $88 dollars when I got it but now its $110

 

[KNIPEX 87]

It was in Amazon.it

 

[Derek420]

I'm getting one my buddy works at KC Tools and that place is awesome and so is he, he mailed me a bunch of Wera and knipex decals.

I'm pretty sure last years one didn't have a bottle opener. I bought 4 last year as gifts for close colleagues and I think last years was basically just a mini pass through socket set with a few extra bits.

Yeah, you are right. Last years made a pretty neat little kit though. I think the 2 or 3 years before had them though. Once I open the 24th this year I'll post a picture of the 4 that I have.

Yeah, do that. Last years kits was pretty tidy. We had a guy graduate from our lab and the kit was his leaving gift to take overseas with him. Sounded like he used it from day 1 putting together stuff for his new apartment, so it was a good gift

Here's the one with the Joker wrench - only 1 on Amazon.

Looks like the bottle opener is the KC Tools Tool of the Day if anyone wants one.

 

[upgrading]

The bottle opener in the calendar is dark red/black.

TOTD bottle opener is red/yellow.

 

[KNIPEX 87]

I order the KWB one as well.
