I have the full set of these spanners and I rarely use the function shown. Most the time its easier and more accessible with a normal spanner. The spanner jaws are bulky and most the time too awkward to get into most tight spots. The one shown in the video is just perfect for the demo.
I've got to say, I love my Wera Precision screwdrivers. They are incredible. I simply cannot ever see myself be able to justify the cost of these wrenches because I cannot ever see myself having a need for that crafty marketing feature on these wrenches.
If they had a reversible offset ratchet I might have bought a set. A standard combination spanner like this would be nice as we. You just can't get around corners with them.
Wish wera made the joker switch in 6mm and 7mm! Then larger sizes such as 22, 24, 27 and 32mm in their standard joker range, I love their spanners, really innovative! But their size range isn't great!
2:26 I'm sure those are good tools but why trying to deceive potential client, you can clearly see the cut in the video and the bolt has been loosen before trying with the Wera Joker. This whole video is a joke, just watch how the guy uses the non-Wera tools, you could get a random person on the street that would handle them better than what he shown.
Yes, because superior cars are designed to be superior, and that's the priority, not ease of work or so that every uneducated mechanic could fix them. That's why German cars will sit at 200+ mph comfortably while american cars feel unsafe above 100.
@@barryredman2803 ? i hope u mean 200 mph not 200 km/h...200 km/h is not a big deal in germany. 200mph = 320 Km/h...i was driving 312km/h max with a porsche 911 (standard version, not 4, 4s, GT...)
@@derbigpr500 too bad they cant make them last more than 5 years without huge repair bills, buy a german car, and throw it out once warranty is gone. BMW, Audi etc.. have lowest reliability ratings of any vehicle. Germans make complex unserviceable junk.
@@Dexter_Solid Idk what exactly you are talking about , they are quite reliable if you service them right. Got 115k miles on my A7 , only issue it had was the injectors and another issue came up with the dpf , because the mechanics here are garbage and couldn't identify the issue in time , killing the dpf. Also had a 2011 BMW X5 , put in 220k miles and never had a single issue. Only oil and filter changes were done to it. Now , i did have a Mercedes Viano , that one don't really want to talk about. It had quite a lot of electrical issues , but never left me stranded. Then now i also got a Jeep Grand Cherokee and had one before it. The one i had before blown the trans at 137k miles, other than that had the change the radiator , but that was under warranty while the trans wasn't. Don't have any issues with the new jeep cuz it's fairly new , bought in 2021 , it being a 2020 model. And then the japanese cars.... Had a toyota land cruiser back in 2008 , had the engine shut off leaving me with no power steering on the mountains while overtaking in a corner. Thankfully was able to stop and drove after restarting the car , but the engine did have to be replaced. Also had a Rav4 , which shut itself off and wouldn't turn back on. Don't remember the cause through. So the only cars that left me stranded were the japanese one and american one.
I only purchased a 10mm and 13mm double sided one and It has helped myself and other technicians out in a few tricky situations. I couldn't justify buying a whole set but they do sell double sided open ends ones which do have good value for money.
I have the full set of these and while I like them I wouldn't buy them again, the open end has too much flex for really tight bolts and the tolerances are almost too tight but since the open end is 12 point the tolerances have to be tight to keep it from rounding off bolts. The closed end has low back drag on the larger size wrenches but the smaller wrenches 13 and down have too much drag so you have to help the mechanism to not turn a loosened bolt just back and forth. I really like the large numbering and the color coding those are features that are very cool and I wish my other wrenches had those features but even the coloring stripe on the commonly used wrenches are starting to wear off because it isn't protected in any way. After owning these for several months they feel like lower quality wrenches and only using the holding feature a couple of times hasn't justified the pricing.
I don’t like saying this but I think you are using them wrong, for high torque I usually use the wrench with the plate down (if I even need open end) has enormous grip and never ate a bolt for me. As for the backdrag, mine developed that issue around 6 weeks of use, so initially I didn’t have to help the smaller ones outside of bolts that didn’t even catch already. I solved it with Ballistol. Give it a try for me would ya?
Every tool has its place. But don’t see something thag bulky being useful to a mechanic. We like hour box ends and skinny handels. But every tool has its purpose
The ads are great, but the product is absolutely useless. When I unscrewed the 12mm screw, the mechanism broke down and it doesn't work right now. I definitely do not recommend the Wera brand, it did not pay off for the product I paid for.
the video shows that it is to be used on damaged/corroded bolt heads and the serrated jaws are designed to undo corroded fasteners. If they do not warranty it id be asking for my money back!
