What can I say.... Momma gets turned on by a man that can turn a wrench in his skivvies

I figure if that ratchet was so superior to all the others, your winkie would be green and have a grip like that...

I don't really know what to say

Does that mean that you think....no I am just gonna leave that alone.


But, are you saying that your....no, I'm gonna drop that too.


And have you seen a - no, leaving that alone tooo.

The bolts are rather long and the 'spinnining' function of the ratchet in the 180 degree position made the tool quick and easy to use. I can't think of any other tool that would have been as efficient and easy to use in this application. Then, when the nuts where needing the final tightening, I just pulled the selector back and the let the ratchet head rotate and cranked the nit down.

You put the toilet in your living room? Gross! J/K

I can't remember if I've asked before on here - with the handle in the 180 degree position, is there a 'separate' mechanism inside the handle that increases the spinning ratio? Does it spin faster than normal?

IIRC in the video, with the ratchet in 180, the guy turns the handle, and the socket end looks like it spins twice as fast as his hand turns.

TRust me, after my wife cleaned that bowl, I would have eaten off of it. I dropped it into the den to work on 'cause it was more comfortable, plus my little girl 'needed' to help

I can't detect any extra mechanism in it which would enhance inertial spin, centrifugal or centripetal efforts. I think it is is one of those circus trick optical illusions.

But my 1/2 drive has yet to arrive-it may be more evident with the larger head

Thanks for checking that. Take a look at this video on youtube, starting at 40 seconds. I don't know how he spins the nut down so fast

Otherwise, the only difference I can see between the zyklops and a regular roto head is that the head can be locked in place.

you basically just admitted you would eat out of a toilet

Yes, since I first ask that question, I have done extensive research. I have consulted 4 of the top sellers of(that I know of) WERA; they all confirm that ALL WERA products seem to be moving to Czech production facilities. I even called trying to find dscrewdrivers with the "made in Germany" logo-all gone it seems.

I am interested in what Germans think(where are you Monte? I highly respect your opinion) as to what quality to expect from Czech workers using German tooling.

The plastic box housing that my driver came in had a white sticker announcing "Made in Czech Republic".

Most people don`t care where something is produced since you buy the product because of the brand-name and not the country of origin. With the same machines, same quality control, skilled people and dedication of what you do it should be possible to make a quality product everywhere .
Wera (from what i was told) produce their own machines for screwdriver production which are also sold to competitors, they are by far the most innovative company (Kraftform kompakt, rapidaptor, zyklop etc.) and also are always ahead of others (hex plus tools, first with stainless steel bits + drivers, first with anatomic handle design in 1968 etc) . Wera and wiha are the biggest screwdriver companies here . Almost in all industrial supplier catalogs they`re listed ( or wiha or both either original or rebranded).
If they couldn`t do anything in eastern europe no Audi would drive and no porsche cayenne would be available...So i guess they can make some simple screwdrivers as well (which is not true if you don`t have the knowledge and skills etc.)

Aside from the political correct answer i personally have a little bellyache with the origin since the other manufacturers AFAIK still can produce screwdrivers + bits here so why can companies like Witte, Wiha, SKG, Schroeder, Sora, Turnus, HKR, Wuro, Felo, USH and Wekador make them here and wera not ?? (price is about the same)
But i still think they make a good product - i just updated my PZ drivers and a large slotted with Wera - i own bits + bitholder, kraftform kompakt, hex keys etc.

rebadged into "format" - sold by a large wholesale group:

.....but if you`re looking for this......:

you`ll need to hunt down the flea markets....... ;-)
