I emailed Wiha and asked which of their tools are made in Germany because I had seen poor reviews of some of their stuff made in Vietnam. Turns out anything on their website with the big round "Made in Germany" logo is, well, made in Germany, which means good steel, good build quality, good tolerances to their machining, good tools in general. So thurn out the pen part of this is not made in Germany, but the bits are made in Germany. I heard so many complaints about similar small Torx bits being twisted off on the first or second use. So far there has been not the slightest hint of such from the bits in this set, and I've used three or four of them extensively. The pen device is plenty good enough, too, you just have to give it a tap upside down to get all the bits out, because the bottom is magnetized. Just remember the bits are tiny in the Torx sizes from 10 and smaller, so even if the bit is fine steel the screw may be cheap iron or alloy. Don't put too much torque on them, and don't use a big T-handle because you can't limit the torque very well. If something does not loosen with moderate pressure, give it a shot of some liquid loosener and wait awhile; brake fluid is two bucks a half-pint and works as good as anything to loosen screws and bolts. Great bits, good enough pen holder, Wiha German quality where it counts.

Excellent torx screwdriver. As soon as I received it, I tried to remove some torx screws that my other torx screwdrivers/bits couldn't budge. The Wiha removed them all, no problem. I haven't had it long, but it seems durable and well constructed The pen tip apparently has a magnet, that holds the bit firmly in place when you use it. The knurling allows you to get a good grip when using the pen to screw/unscrew the torx screws. The storage section easily holds all six bits. I just wish it came with T9 and T10 bits too since there is ample room in the handle. When removing the bits from the storage area, I noticed that 5 of the bits come out easily, but sometimes I have to shake the pen to get the last bit out. I suspect that the bit at the bottom is closest to the magnet and therefore the most strongly affected. But that's a picked nit. All in all, it's a great tool.

Update, June 22nd Still think it’s a good tool except for one important design flaw. The bit is held in by a magnet and not tension like all other holders I have ever used and owed. So it’s very loose inside the holder. My magnet fell out or stoped working. Because the bit will not stay in. It falls out every time I use it unless I hold it in thee. Because of this I have a missing bit. I’m sure I will find it. It’s the main size I wanted. Another annoying thing is the cap comes off when you turn the holder and the cap rests against your palm. I have spilled them out a couple times. Yes it’s easy to make it very tight. My main complaint is the Loose holder. I bought this so I had a 4mm holder. It still works it is just annoying. I don’t see why they did not make it like normal and still added a magnet , personally I would do without the magnet all together. Changing from 5 to 4 stars. It’s important a tool work as intended. 1.5mm is a big gap. The holder opening is ~5.5mm ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Original review received June 16th. This is is quality. I like how the handle is also storage for the bits. The handle is made for a decent gauge of aluminum. There is still space to add more bits. The Knurling is nice do give some grip. The 5 bits t-4 thru t-8 are well made. They feel like good tool steel and should last a lifetime. The bit holder is magnetic and the bit feels secure. I highly recommend this product especially for the price. With the cost of $13.22 on sale from a still reasonable $15.98. Hard to beat this quality for the pen holder and (5)micro bits. It about the same price as the cheap worthless imitations. Don’t hesitate. Buy it !!

Good tool use them on my spyderco folding knives.

Set is nicely made. I've used it on one project which involved removing a dozen T5 screws. All very tight. Bit fit the screws well. No sign of deformation even though I had to twist fairly hard. Clearly better than a couple of cheaper tools that I've used that came from the other side of the world. The "Helpful Hint" that was offered in the questions area about tapping the handle to release bits that are lodged in the handle is a good one. The retaining magnet is strong enough to hold bits inside the storage handle and you'll think you're missing one or two.

Wiha has an excellent reputation and this tool so far is deserving of it in my opinion. Some have said to make sure you buy only Wiha that is made in Germany as some of their less expensive items are not and of lesser quality. This item is German made but not having any of their other stuff I can’t say if that matters or not. I have a Kershaw tool that is very similar to this but the Wiha bits are superior. Great small all in one package. An excellent addition to my knife maintenance kit.

I bought these Wiha bits because they were said to be made of a harder steel than some of my earlier torx bit sets. So far they have performed well.

I received this tool yesterday and here are my initial impressions: 1) The tool is made in Vietnam and NOT in Germany. This is disappointing since the Amazon description clearly says made in Germany. 2) The appearance of the bits looks good but the size markings are printed and not etched, stamped or engraved. 3) The quality of the handle is only adequate. - The cap fits loosely - The bits fit loosely (lots of side to side movement) - The bits are help in place by a magnet and not a pin vise of similar mechanism Conclusion: I paid a premium for this tool expecting German quality and it isn't here. I don't know how Vietnamese quality compares with Chinese quality but if I had to do it over again, I would probably would have saved my money and bought a similar Chinese tool for half or a third of the price. Shame on you Wiha for not making a better quality tool. Very disappointing.
