Wera Kraftform Kompakt VDE 17 Universal 1 Interchangeable screwdriver set with twin handle, 17PC, 05059030001

Only been using these for a few days now. But what a delight.I am an engineer by profession and use drivers on a daily basis. I was suspicious about the build quality before I got my hands on them but all fears were aleviated on first use. They are well made and more than up to the task when it comes to termination and general screwing. I wouldn't use them as a chisel or to lever up a manhole cover or anything like that though as I think that this would likely damage the handle, that's a job for larger, cheaper drivers.With a magnet I checked the shaft and can confirm that it is indeed metal all the to the bottom of the driver. I had a cheaper set of Clarke drivers like these years ago and when they broke I was mortified to find they were only metap at the tip.The case fits nicely on the belt if you choose to wear them and the velcro fastening fits onto the Wera 2 go tool bag which I got for Christmas.Generally I am lazy when it comes to screwdrivers. If I come across a star bit, I jam a flat blade in it and screw awayIf I happen to have a flat head in my hand and come across a post the I go at it with the flat head. It is a bad habit, so it is nice having a range if 17 different drivers to go ag without having to get my whole tool bag out.Great product. Even makes me look forward to going to work... a little bit anyway.

As you’d expect from Wera, this set is great quality! The locking mechanism is solid, no wobble or play, which you can get from some other brands of interchangeable bit sets. Fully insulated with a good range of different common sized bits, including the PZ/S bits for terminal blocks. Good quality carry case with Velcro to attach to a belt/kit as required. Great for small maintenance kits. You can also buy the interchangeable bit’s separately for a fair price if they wear out, rather than having to replace the entire set. Would recommend for electricians/engineers, or anyone that wants a small versatile high quality screwdriver set.

Great product,wish I'd got a set years ago

Brilliant tool set. Having two handles makes it a lot easier when you need flat and pozi drives.I originally purchased this set a tool set I could quickly grab when doing basic fault finding on premises, it was intended to limited use but it is slowly becoming my main screw driver set for a rang of jobs.I initially thought the price was a bit steep but after using them I think it's a reasonable price, the tools feel nice, work well, seem rather durable, the case seems well made, I can't really fault it, only criticism and it's minor, there is one screw driver slot empty on this pack and even though I know it arrived like that, it gets me every time, I keep thinking I have lost a piece.Over all, good quality, reasonably priced, and very useful!

Great compqck screwdriver set. Easy to use and good sized drivers and great handle to it.

I was looking forward to getting this kit but was left feeling a bit deflated once I did. Whilst the tools are to the usual Wera build quality there's a lot left to be desired design wise.The screwdriver inserts are poorly marked, with their printed info in a very feint grey colour. It would be helpful for at least the driver type (Pz, Ph, Tx, etc) to be printed on the end of the inserts in a visible colour. That way if people store them downwards in a bag at least they have a fighting chance of quickly locating the right one.The case provided is more of a rounded bulky roll thanks to the screwdriver handles. Access is hampered because of the case's side flaps, which are really only needed on one side to cover the blade ends. Frankly the whole case could do with a redesign to ensure it has more of a rigid shape, replacing the elastic loops with rubber grips as well. Perhaps something along the lines of their bit holder cases. As it stands I'm of a mind to store all the components in a tool quiver instead, if only for easier and quicker access.Coming to the screwdriver inserts themselves, they are no slimmer than the regular Wera screwdrivers despite the marketing blurb stating they're slimmer. They are also all the same length which might be an issue for some. The larger Ph, Pz, & Sl inserts are shorter than the regular screwdrivers though, as are the handles smaller. There is a slight wobble due to the mechanism which holds the insert in the handle. The one positive thing about this kit is it's a compact way to carry 16 different blade types in a small space. It's just a pity it's not as user friendly as it could be.

The Wera Kraftform Kompakt VDE 17 screwdriver set is a fantastic tool for anyone who values quality and versatility. The build is solid, and the ergonomic design of the handles provides a comfortable and secure grip, even during long sessions of use. Wera is a reputable brand known for its high-quality products, and this set is no exception. The interchangeable bits are easy to swap, and the set covers a wide range of tasks. It's perfect for electrical work, as it's VDE-rated for safety. Highly recommended for professionals and DIYers alike.

These are the best quality screwdrivers I think I have ever owned. I've had my eye on them for a while now and when they came on offer over Black Friday I could no longer hold off. The case is strong and of superb quality. The handles are heavy enough to denote good quality but not heavy enough to be detrimental. The interchanging blades are also surprisingly heavy-ish and seem very durable (time will tell). They lock into the handles nicely and are a doddle to get out as well. With the addition of a secondary handle you can set up a couple of drivers for use rather than chopping and changing too much. All in all a superb bit of kit at a very competitive price.
