I have a 1/4 inch and 3/8, Wera ratchets, but I got to say I don't reach for them that often. I like them, at least when I pick one up to admire. They are well built and look great. I love the small tool sets and carry one in my Harley. But the truth is I very rarely reach for the Wera ratchets. I like the screwdrivers, and a few other items I have. Can't put my finger on why I don't use the ratchets very much, but I don't.

In my electrical work I use a Wera tool check plus that comes with a small 1/4 ratchet. TBH I don’t use it much. Mostly use the bits and the drivers they make. But I can recommend the Wera Koloss 1/2. And I very much enjoy their sockets as well. Haven’t used them for high torque situations except the Koloss as I mostly use a Milwaukee and Proto set for 1/4 and 3/8 in my diy auto care. Thanks for the show and keep them coming. This ratchet and the Astro pneumatic 3/8 in the 1/4 body have me very intrigued.

I need to see an in-depth comparison of shop-related bottle openers! With your fancy German bottle opener, the old-school Craftsman USA 9/16 wrench/opener (I'll bet you have one), and finally the HF Quinn soft grip bottle opener. Is the soft grip the key to happy beers? Do we need a flex head opener? If Koken has a bottle opener, they win automatically. :D I like the Wera satin, but the handle and switch selector look annoying.

Not a fan of Wera handles at all. I got set of screwdrivers. The tips are amazing (at first) but the handles pinch a nerve in my knuckles. They have grippy material but it’s in the inside where you have no leverage. The outside leverage point is hard slippery plastic. I’d consider them a specialty tool brand but truly painful for me to use.

Snap-on does not have the best Chrome on a ratchet. They don't even come close to the Chrome on a Nepros. Japanese made ratchets of extreme quality and workmanship. I've never seen anything like them. Do they put the shame snap-on. It's the parent company of Koken. And they definitely show why they're the parents. Where Koken is far cheaper than Sanp On. Nepros is much closer into snap on price ranges..
