Wiha Haul

[5toes]

Heres my new Wiha Haul. It is special to me... as these all are my first tools. Picked everything up for $97 shipped... stubbies and all. BTW there is 15 stubbies, I gave two to my pal already and the other pack is the two in the pictures

Im not overly impressed with the quality... some of the screwdriver tips are cockeyed compared to the handle. The PH3 on the end of the phillips 3 driver has a rub off mark. One driver has a weird plastic damage. Also the PH2 and 6.5mm flat have the marks on upside down. Hmmmmm. Oh and the bitholder has a hex shaft? Weird. The clickfix is awesome though, the click is like a mm of travel, very precision.

That's some good macrophotography. Where did you get all that for $97? Was it retail or craigslist/ebay/or the like? If it's retail, I'd be interested in a source, please.

Retail. Micro-tools.com

Where are the bits made?

Where are the bits made?

I called Wiha CS 2 years ago and it was Germany then.

The bits all look good. Havnt tried any on screws. Except the PH2 and PH3... just put those in a greasy screw in my hand. Fit good.

Great photos and tools! Wiha is top notch, in my book.

You got a good deal there for sure I have the XS selector kit and find it to be a little to short and a little bit baulky to get into tight spaces.

These dont seem to be "top notch". I love the handles though, good shape.

Nice pictures !!!!!


ps: a microscopic plastic damage and upside down markings ???
You are very picky

What if you turn the screwdrivers 180 degree ?

 

[5toes]

Haha I figured I am too picky. Still, its weird those two sizes are the only ones printed upside down, as the handles are the same size.

I was expecting black and yellow everything, but magenta is euro spec awesome

In what sense? The shaft isn't parallel to the handle?

Oh and the bitholder has a hex shaft? Weird.

I don't have a Wiha bitholder of that style, but my Stanley bitholder's head is cylinder with a through machined hex. It's an interference fit onto the shaft.

 

[5toes]

Yeah the bitholder shaft is hex, not round. No big deal, just weird. And it is full polish, unlike the others.

Yeah the tips, if you look at them are not parallel to the handle flat part (on the magenta plastic). Most are like 20 or 30 degrees or so off
