Good tool...

Posted by Derek Greenlaw on 2021 May 16th

I bought this set as a step up from the “Ifixit “ brand. “Ifixit” is made in China.
Wiha is engineered in Germany, with most items made elsewhere.
The bits are all made in Vietnam.
The drive handle is made in Germany.
Country of manufacturing is available from the wiha website (you have to check individual components of the kit)

This kit contains all micro bits, and one 1/4” to micro bit adapter.
The bits are short shaft, meaning they will not reach into most recessed holes. The “Ifixit” kit is all longer shaft bits.

The kit is exactly as shown in the picture, with the exception of the drive handle. Mine is the yellow esd safe handle. The handle is nice, and has a slight grippy feel to it.
The “ifixit” handle has a smoother turning knob, and is also very nice, but not esd safe.

The kit case is nice, zippers up fine and the foam holds the bits well. Bottom of the foam holder is metal. Comes with a stick on magnet. Also comes with a part number sheet of all the tools in the kit.

It’s hard to say if the “wiha” bits are much better than the “Ifixit” ones. I have used both kits some, and have not had issues with either set.

I would say the Wiha kit is of better quality, based on the quality of the finish on the bits.

TLDR
Disappointed it’s not made in Germany. Slightly better than Ifixit.
