I really appreciate the comparison that some people may hold a micro screwdriver in a different manner. I also really like the lighting you use in your photo box. Another excellent video.

Have you ever tried the old metal ifixit bit holder model? Free spin was fantastic and there was zero wobble. Great little kit

[CrookedSkew]

Very useful video, thanks. While you may not have a massive following, I'm reasonably sure you're actually making an impact for those that do watch. Thank you.

FYI, the Wera probably bottomed out under pressure to reduce wear. You don't need the cap to spin when you're putting that much down pressure on a fastener.
tl;dr - it's a feature.

Awesome collection of screwdrivers…thank you for sharing.

Thank You for this informative video. Makes me feel better about my Wiha choices in both miniature screwdrivers as well as Microbit sets.

We have both the Facom and the Wiha at work and I have to say the Facom feels soooo much nicer in the hand and feels much smoother when you actually turn a screw with it. We've also had a few broken tips with the Wihas.

I'm kinda sad that many german brands like Hazet, Gedore, Stahlwille and Witte sell a lot of rebranded stuff in their professional product-ranges. You can often tell if "made in germany" doesn't appear anywhere in the product description but even if it does you can't be sure like with the Felo Ergonic Ratchet for example.
If it were just the budget brands like Gedore Red or Vigor (budget Hazet) I would understand, but not when the products are sold under a highly regarded brand name (and with a hefty pricetag), giving you the impression they were manufactured in house. That being said I love my Hazet ratcheting screwdriver (810R-3) and the Hazet 810 BH made my Oplast. :D

Try the Vessel ones with rubber colored handles. They spin freely.

[foxwood]

The Wiha Pico and the Wera are my fav. Cool to see the many brands/ styles

[DDB]

That's a great collection. Not sure which I prefer, I have an Anex 3610, which is the handle and you replace the bits. It's good but small.

[pepvwaning]

Using wiha, wera and pb swisstool for years during work best trio.

[SeascapeStl]

Never really thought about it this way. I have fairly large hands and I'm trying to figure out which is the best way to go

[yanlucky]

I use Wera ESD 2mm and 3mm minus for terminal all the time. Great

[Zeroneii]

Try out the Ifixit aluminum precision driver

it's 9.99 for it without any bits, you can get a bit set + driver for ~30

it uses standard 4mm bits

[lesslighter]

there's a Wiha x Xiaomi set which is also more or less ok, my father used the torx 1 bit as an impact pinning driver and the complains the tip is bent... well no surprise there

what I would prefer is some more elongated 4mm bits -_- Nanch has some offerings but the driver could honestly be better

[patrickcallahan]

As always, another insightful video!
Question; I've decided to build a HIOS bit set for the added length to go with an ES15 (it can run both 4mm HIOS and 4mm hex) electric screwdriver to be part of my mobile tech kit and am looking for two things:
1. A great bit holder for HIOS (leaning towards a Wera 1013 ESD, but wondering if there is anything more interesting out there).
2. A good way to store lots of HIOS bits of various lengths (40mm to 100mm) in a compact and easily accessible form factor. (I bought a whole variety of generic bits to see what sizes I like before I upgrade my most commonly used bits at a later date).

[MikeKobb]

Interesting that your Wiha turned freely. I just bought the Wiha 51-piece precision set and the quality is wildly variable. Some spin beautifully. Some don’t spin at all. The spinning cap plastic colors are also really inconsistent. One of them had a blade that was not fully inserted into the handle and it was slightly bent. Very disappointing.

[andrewscott]

Have you come across any bit holding solutions for 1/8" precision bits? Either a case/container or something like a magnetic bit block

[sevenupyourz]

i have been using the vessel td-51 series really good spin

[ks-hgvo]

Who makes the bahco one as I have them branded as irazola and also roebuck from at least 15 years back
