As a satisfied owner of several Wera items, I ordered the SA6 set in March 2018 to save lugging around an old and cheap 1/4" & 3/8" drive socket set.I like the SA6 set very much. The fold-out case is compact, convenient, and well-designed. After 5 months of use the "Velcro" still holds the case shut, the elastic loops are still stretchy, and the plastic socket and bit holders still retain their contents.The bits, sockets, and accessories are of high quality. The set I received had the "Take it easy" coloured sockets, which I find very helpful when selecting the right socket. Since a 9mm socket wasn't included in the set, I ordered one separately,and attach it to the long extension to save it getting lost.I like the idea behind the Zyklop ratchet, and I make full use of the swivelling head. It really helps to speed things up.Up to this point, I have been full of praise for Wera's SA6 set, however I do have some negatives, and they all concern the Zyklop ratchet:Firstly, I find that the sockets are rather stiff to attach and detach from the ratchet. They fit nicely onto the long and short extensions, but fitting them to the ratchet is always a bit harder. You have to press the silver dome of the ratchet head to allow the socket to pass over a ball bearing on the 1/4" square drive, and it feels that the ball bearing doesn't retract enough to allow the socket to pass smoothly over it. A spot of oil/grease doesn't help much, but no doubt it'll get easier as the mechanism starts to wear.Secondly, I find the green serrated knob on the ratchet head is a bit fiddly to operate, and I would have preferred a "fixed" position as well as forward and reverse positions.The third problem relates to the mechanism which holds the head at different angles to the handle. When used for driving screws, a pin inside the saddle drops into a detent in the silver dome of the ratchet head to stop the head swivelling. Unfortunately the detent isn't very deep, and when the handle is rotated and sideways force is simultaneously applied, the pin can walk out of the detent and the head will flop to the side.Lastly, there is quite a lot of lateral movement ("wobble"!) to the bit when the ratchet is used as a screwdriver. This is quite understandable, given that the bit fits into the bit adapter; the bit adapter fits onto the square drive; and the square drive is mounted on a swivelling and ratcheting head, however the amount of wobble still comes as a bit of a disappointment.Despite my complaints, I do love using the set. It has a "feel good" factor, and makes me smile when I use it. If it hadn't been for the third problem, I would have given the set 5 stars, but have had to reduce it to 4 stars because of the occasional unreliability when used for screwdriving.

My wife is reading a book about decluttering and comes across the phrase, "is it functional, or does it bring you joy?"Well, I can happily say that Wera tools do both, and this set is no exception.The set itself is well put together and a mix of sockets as you'd expect from a ratchet, and driver bits.As far as sockets go, you've got nine in total ranging from 5mm up to 13mm, missing out 9mm and giving you a 5.5mm instead. This is a good range for mechanical bits and bobs and servicing of various bits of kit; lawnmowers, pumps, tools etc. They are colour coded using Wera's 'Take It Easy' palette, meaning a 10mm socket has the same colouring as a 10mm spanner or ratchet. That's pretty cool.For drivers,you've got your Philips, PoziDrive, Hex and Torx 50mm drivers. NB: no slot heads here. These don't have the 'Take It Easy' palette on them. If you got the Wera Advent Calendar (yup, it's real), then the bits don't have the coloured collars denoting bit type and size. Hey ho.Now the ratchet itself. This is great. It's got the standard Wera patented grip which is a two density plastic style. I really like it as it's comfortable and seems to fit your hand no matter how you hold it. It also has heft; you pick it up and it feels positive and present, not like a toy.What makes this ratchet really neat is that you can lock it at zero degrees, essentially giving you a straight ratchet driver. The Rapidaptor adaptor allows you to insert any bit and use it this way. The black plastic body around the shaft rotates to allow faster turning action. If more torque is required to tighten/loosen a fixing, just unlock the ratchet, swivel the handle round and use it like a standard ratchet. Genius!It's worth noting that the ratchet mechanism doesn't have a static mode; it's ratchet clockwise, or anticlockwise. Not a big deal for me, but may be important.All this comes with an extension shaft, and a wobble shaft, allowing you to get to nuts, bolts and screws in hard to reach places. The whole set comes in one of Wera's woven plastic cases. These have end pieces that ensure nothing falls out, and a velcro backing that allows it to be stuck to a bag, workshop or van wall. There's a big rubber graphic of the Zyklop wrench on the exterior to make the kit easily identifiable.Overall, yes, you could pay less for a similar kit, but from experience, tools break when you need them most. These are good quality, and unlikely to fail at the most inopportune moment. Ultimately, tools you enjoy using get way more use that ones you don't. I love using these, and I think anyone buying them will probably unbox and go "wow!".

This is a 1/4" socket set to set expectations accordingly, the ratchet is about 15cm long and the handle is petite. I bought this from Amazon Warehouse which took some of the edge off the 'sticker shock'.In the heavy canvas roll, you have the socket set and bits, ratchet and various extensions. To stop the sockets falling out, each is held on a post with a quarter twist to lock and unlock. There is also a large self-adhesive Velco pad supplied so you can stick roll to side of toolbox etc.To make use of the bits, there's a 1/4" to 6mm adaptor with locking ring. The Wera ratchet head can locked to 'straight ahead' so it can be used as a screw-driver - well, sort of. It's nothing like the feel of a screwdriver,My add-on purchase was the Wera 073240 Kraftform Kompakt 28 Screwdriver so I can use the bits in a 'proper' screwdriver.Note that there's no flat bits, probably as they would be useable in use due to cam-out with the ratchet.The fit and finish is excellent, the tools are are like precision instruments. However, there's no instructions and I had to look on-line to figure out the 'wobble' extension.Definitely a toolset for the connoisseur.

A beautifully made ¼” metric ratchet and socket set, which will last me for years. I have two gripes however:Firstly - four of the thirteen 8790 HMA ¼” sockets manufactured by Wera are excluded from this set, namely 4mm, 4.5mm, 9mm and 14mm. Of course the missing sizes are less commonly required in practice, but can be purchased separately if required - they’re available from Amazon and I decided to buy them all. Three additional sockets can be securely squeezed into the case - by securing one to the 8000A Zyclop ratchet, one to the 8794 LA extension and the other to the 8794A wobble bar, but this is a less than satisfactory solution and I could find no practical means to secure the fourth additional socket within the case.My second quibble - Why on earth are standard Torx bits supplied?It would make far more sense to substitute these with Z (security) Torx bits, which are 100% compatible with the basic ones and are far more versatile. The cost difference in manufacture must be virtually negligible.So it’s four stars, not five for me.

Have used this set for over 12 months now and thought it time for a review.This set has been used, abused and had everything thrown at it (even used extensions and bits in power tools) and continues to perform superbly.The Zyklop speed ratchet allows the initial high torque to be applied to loosen the fastener and then quickly and easily switched to 'screwdriver' position for fast removal once loose.I have used the hex bits to remove extremely tight fittings (thread lock involved) and have had no issues with rounding.This has been my go to set for many tasks during my time of ownership, highly recommended.Knocks the spots of other 1/4" sets, do not look past this!

Vastly expensive, neatly packaged and very ingenious. Doesn't look as if it's fit for anything other than light-duty work, but why, oh why, haven't they included any screwdrivers for slotted heads? Slotted heads may not be common in Germany, but in the UK they still crop up frequently. Certainly much more frequently than the wide range of hex and Torx heads for which drivers have been supplied.Supplied in a suitable case.One point deducted because of lack of drivers for slotted heads -- at this price, that's absurd.

Great piece of kit. If you’re looking something with a bit of dexterity that can perform in interesting spaces this is great. It’s the smaller version of the Zyklop ratchet so don’t expect to be banging any wheel nuts on with it. That said you can get some serious torque behind it. Great for cycling, flat packs, detailed maintenance and mechanics. The extensions can make it a bit wobbly and odd to handle if you go for all of them but you get used to it. Overall a great unit, nicely consolidated into a handy roll.

Wera are a quality manufacturer of hand tools, this little kit packs away very neatly with all the quirky bits that you need these days to carry out those little tasks that need sorting. The Zyklop ratchet is going to prove invaluable to me in my job as a plumber getting into those awkward places, very expensive gear but you get what you pay for.

OK it's a bit pricey for what it is but you are paying for the name. I am a bit of a Wera fanboy and have a lot of their kit but it feels nice in the hand and just works. You won't be disappointed, just to point out this is the 1/4 inch drive so is a small unit. They do a 3/8 and a 1/2 inch as well.

This is another fantastic Wera Tool. Top Top Quality. Well made, tough and solid you. Yes Wera isn't cheap that's because its the best you can buy. If your reading this then buy it quality companies like Wera need supporting or everything will be crap made by silverline

The handle is a bit smaller than I had expected. Feels almost like precision screwdriver. Other than that, all the bits are excellent quality and the whole set is nice and compact. If you have the money to spare, I'd say it's a good buy.

Looked to purchase this product a few times but stopped due to high cost. Injury to wrist caused pain & stiffness so change of angle to ratchet shaft a good aid. Wera quality tools but over priced. JR

Perfect, loved this small set which sits on my wera toolbag permanently. Now I'm hundreds of pounds into purchases of wera tools and tools chests full. Absolutely amazing tools and superb quality.

Really nice 1/4” socket set presented in a sturdy case. Great quality product, replacing my old ratchet set which lve owned for 40+ Years! Look forward to using this brilliantly engineered tool.

8.9.2020

Useful carry case, good quality. Didn't include all parts and sizes required for RC maintenance but easy to source and swap out. Kits with other sizes would be handy as the hardware is decent.
