Reddit reviews Wera 05073675001 Kraftform Micro-Set/12 Sb 1 Screwdriver Set for Electronic Applications, 12 Pieces

I'll second Wera. I have a similar set in a nice little roll,

and I have used them extensively with no damage to the heads. Highly recommended.

They're expensive, but they WORK.

Uh, 62$ cad is what I paid for this set and that seems pretty cheap for the quality of the tools?

For a hobbyist that doesn't go ape on them should last a lifetime?

I can highly recommend this set of Wera precision screwdrivers.

I can't speak for Wiha, but I use a ratcheting multi-bit holder Wera screwdriver that has been used at my job for over 3 years, 40 hours a week. I use the screwdriver HEAVILY, I mean nearly constantly over the span of each 8 hour work day. Only last week did the ratcheting mechanism start giving out. I'm going to be buying another.

HOWEVER. Since you're specifically asking for a micro-bit set, I have coworkers that use wiha for that and they seem to do the job fine. Don't know if Wera has similar stuff, I assume they do, but from what I've heard about them and seen first hand both will serve you fine, so go with whatever is cheaper. If it's ratcheting consider that a bonus, saves a lot of wear and tear on the old wrist.

EDIT:Yes Wera does carry a micro "set", it's individual drivers in a case. $41. And yes, Individual drivers are always stronger than a multi-bit single driver if you're going for true BIFL factor here.

So given the choice between these two:

Wera Kraftform Micro-Set, 12 Pieces

Wiha Micro Bit Set, 39 Bits

and the roughly equivalent price, I should still go with the individual drivers for BIFL.

That looks pretty nice, but I was wondering about the specific Japanese set AvE talked about for a dollar. I've already got the Wera precision set for electronics.

Only a month late getting back to you on this...

The three case with three handles are all torque screwdrivers

If you are doing any controls work, pick up Wera screw drivers they are the best screw drivers for terminal blocks, very good steel, have never had a tip break or striped a screw.

Can't recommend these enough

Multitools are universally crap I found.

I use one each of these which is as close as I'll get to multitools:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009ODV0PI/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000X1R2K2/

Both come with pouches and loops so you can transport them or stick 'em on your batbelt if you fancy it.
