Today we look at a couple of tools that I rather enjoy that appear to be discontinued or no longer available.

I fully support you on that 4mm Bit holder! I wrote themabout it and they had one example of it lying on a shelf and sent it to me. I love that tool! The Wiha 4mm holders are also quite good.

The Wiha 3K line was fantastic...really well priced, durable, and among my favorite handles. I ran into issues trying to pick up some Torx drivers as well as the bit holder. I have a few that are supposedly coming late April (see also about 5-6 weeks past when I placed the order), but wish I could have picked up complete sets. Last summer I got several 3K Anti-Cam Out drivers that were on clearance for dirt cheap...guess that was the leading edge of the change. They definitely need to reinstate the 3K line into production. Imo they fit a nice niche with the quality and price point.

In my honest opinion the 4 mm drive is far better in the ifixit set. 60+ driver tips and an aluminium handle with a bearing cap, I've never used anything that is more comfortable, with a set more comprehensible than that. I still have individual Wera drivers with non-interchangeable tips but whenever I need a full set, I go for the ifixit one.

Not sure if anyone will read this but the Wera 822 micro bit holder is available nowadays in the Wacken set 1 and also the 2020 Easter Egg set (still available online)

Yes, Wera really did sponsor the legendary Wacken OA heavy metal festival. Which is oddly fitting.

The Wera 4mm bit driver was a bit of a oddball thing anyway since their micro bit drivers all use halfmoon and HIOS drives as far as i know. I looked for a 4mm bitset last year just to have one in my bag for just in case and ended up with the Wiha Xiaomi bitset cause i didnt want to commit to those halfmoon/hios bits.

Hi, you think you'll ever review CK tools products sometime? It's a German tool company really popular amongst Electricians and HVAC technicians in the UK for Sidecutters, pliers, screwdrivers etc. I dare even say it's a more popular than Knipex and Klein in the UK, yet I don't think the brand seems that popular in North America, as I can't find many reviews on their products on RU-vid. If you can get the chance to check them out it'd cool to hear your opinion on them.
@robertrada4783
@robertrada4783 3 года назад
CK had a small following here in the electronics sector because the Schmitz pliers they resell are excellent. But, I haven’t really come across them in years. I have CK branded sidecutters and I have no idea how I obtained them.

Hate it when companies change or discontinue a great product. It happens all the time. A little off topic but IKEA used to sell large, aluminium picture frameswith real glass for £20 GBP here. Now they've stopped using glass and started using acrylic glass. Just not the same. I know it's from a safety aspect, but cmon. Trying to find anything similar elsewhere costs around double the price.

The flat Wera 4mm bits break really easy. That could be their reason for discontinuing the product.

If you are looking for more of those Were L-key pouches, I've got 2 that I'm not using. Thought I'd like the pouches over the regular holders, but I like the holders more. Shipping might be a few bucks from Canada, but if you want them, we could work out a deal haha

That Wera bit holder is something I've been desiring for a while. KCTool told me that Wera discontinued it. I think it might be very similar to this Beta holder: www.beta-tools.com/en/products/electronics-and-micromechanics/precision-screwdrivers/4-mm-bit-holder-with-handle.html I have ordered one of those but it's taking a while to get here over the pond. I also have the Wiha microbit master tech set and the bit holders included with those nice bits are just not up to snuff. They are ok...but it's clear the Wera (and hopefully) the Beta are much better.

The Wiha 3K line has been discontinued. I'm 100% certain because we're Wiha distributor in Thailand.

I bought my 3K metric hex driver set a few years back. I've been using these alongside some Bondhus metric drivers bought a few years earlier to the Wihas. I mostly use 3mm and 2.5mm. The Wiha drivers have already started to wear and slip (even inside new hex screw heads). Meanwhile, the Bondhus drivers have not worn. Again these are used side by side, so there's no preference. I'm sticking with Bondhus. I don't plan on buying any Wiha drivers in the future.

I didnt realize Wera had microbits. Im happy with the Wiha sets I own though. As far as the 3k series i never bought any of those. I thought they were not as good of quality as the soft or micro finish line but am basing it on price only. Are the steels comparable.
