Stubby Showdown: PB Swiss vs. Wiha Bit Holders 

Thank you for another great video. I bet these stubbies are super handy when you work in a tight space, like if you are working under the dashboard on a car or electric cabinets

Great review. The bit holder cartridge models is where the two really differentiate themselves. The PB style is much nicer (as are the PB bits). Other than the purple extra heavy duty screwdrivers, I have found Wiha to be inferior to competitors, but still very very good screwdrivers. I will say if I don’t need anything other than Phillips and slotted I tend to grab the stubby klein I have (which also has 1/4 and 5/16 nut drivers too).

HTR…. More detailed reviews than you ever thought you wanted.

a thorough look. well done. I have been enjoying my pb so far. We'll see how it holds up in the long run. I wish vessel would make a stubby with bit storage. Their ratcheting stubby is ok, but uses a ball detent and long bits. The kits comes with a flex and bit holster which is nice. A note on anti-roll. I have a set of vintage cabinet maker slotted screwdrivers and the handles are oval so they don't roll. You can also get decent torque. I think that would be a good handle option for certain work cases. I have not seen any modern manufactures with that design and I think they are missing out. Old timers knew their stuff...mostly

@HTR Another great video. I enjoyed the comparisons of each feature. I also like the caliper measurements,. Nice attention to detail Viewer sugestion: I like videos on brands you don't see in hardware stores. Especially foreign brands.

I own both , and like both ! Both are very nice units ! I kinda use them interchangeably . I like that you can’t lose the bit magizine in the PB . We are fortunate to have so many good options !

Does anyone know why PB Swiss seem to be mostly available as imports from Japan? Although on UK Amazon some of them appear to be sent from the US. Weirdly there is a PB Swiss UK website and it's still online and shows their full product range but ''closed'' and all buttons are inactive. I'm a big fan of Swiss products - like Victorinox pocket knives, and Wenger watches (which are very reasonably priced, they have the same specifications as Victorinox watches which cost 3/4 times as much) and am tempted to buy a PB Swiss bit holder or screwdriver for fun, I don't really need one but I do want one.

Have you tried the centrofix from Wiha? It is the best bit holder with the lest play of anything available and supports so many different sized bits. They are also releasing a ratcheting screwdriver soon based on their patents. There's a diagram of it too

Can you use a 2” impact driver bit in them?

Made in Poland is just fine. Next to Great Britain Poland is America's closest military ally.
