Wiha ratchets and sockets

[mowkep]

I was looking at an Industrial tooling supply web site our shop uses. And Holy Cripes are the Wiha sockets and ratchet prices outrageous. I love their screwdrivers and pliers which are affordable. I can't imagine them being two to three times better than a Williams or Wright ratchet.

I'm not positive but I believe the Wiha sockets, ratchets, wrenches are rebranded Heyco

 

[apdxyk]

Yes, they are. And sometimes, they are not even rebranded. They are good quality, but nothing special, I have a few

 

[raiderhillbilly]

The wrenches are even stamped Heyco.

Yeah the Wiha sockets aren't anything special.

Stay away from their bit sockets. All of the bit sockets I have from them are stamped with the socket size, rather than the bit size. So, it's a major pain in the *** to tell what size you're looking at.

^ I have Torx Bit sockets and it needs some kind of aftermarket ID control
