Made in China now!
By Gregma80 on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
So to sum this up I’m a longtime Wiha fan. They make great tools and some of the best steel used on their bits. However it shows... *country of origin:China* and I contacted KCTools about this. The KCTOOLS rep live chatted with me and told me it’s a German/Vietnam made product... which it was to be fair. So after telling him this he told me he was going to change the listing and HE DID?! But, a couple years back Wiha had moved production to China and with supposedly the same specs and materials as their German branded Wiha. However, we all know China is a quantity over quality and Wiha cleverly announced a “collaboration” with China on a Xiaomi Mijia 24/piece precision screwdriver set. To be fair the set is only $29 (at this time) and I can tell you those bits are NOT Wiha grade. Look at the reviews and you’ll see broken bits and all. My point is after telling the rep this (because I am going to send these back and look into Felo) he insisted on changing the Amazon listing *country of origin:Germany* which is simply it true! This is why I’m leaving a poor review. I can’t (and won’t) speak on the quality because I haven’t used them yet and to be fair the bit set seems to be of quality steel. The ratchet is nothing special and the tolerances seem off. But the ESD seems to be the PICO quality finish I have on an older set. My point being is I don’t know why they’re not being upfront about this? I’m sure people will do their own “due diligence” and see for themselves. But, I refuse to pay $100 for a Chinese manufactured set trying to pass for German made. I got news for everyone Wiha is now MADE IN CHINA... and this listing should not say Germany for Country of origin. But the rep said he was changing it from China back to Germany?! *Poor form KCTOOLS*Edit: So I have a Kershaw Cryo that needs the torsion bar replaced. Problem is I already chewed up two brand new T6 bits. One was a Walmart special (no surprise there) and the other was from an iFixit kit. Well the Wiha bits did there job and performed as I hoped they would, breaking the blue loctite with relative ease. I couldn’t move one of the screws even a little with the other two bits... so the bit quality is definitely there. I lost a good portion of my tools due to a rather nasty breakup so I have some catching up to do, but I will be keeping this set unless something drastic happens. At least the bits were properly heat treated and to be honest that’s really what I bought this for along with the 1/4” adapter. So I’m going to raise my rating because the tools did their duty and that’s all that matters in the end.

A brand I love, but disappointed
By TechSpec on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2022
So, I am a bit disappointed as I love Wiha's small electronic tools. I received this set and the hex bits look like they had a casting problem? It appears they have noticeable divots in the ends of the hex bits while others just look concave on the bottom. I'm not sure how this is going to affect the bits over time, but I'm sure it will eventually as far as integrity.Also, something that concerned me a bit was that the faceplate on the ratchet has a gap at the top that is a little under 1 mm. I often stick these small ratchets in my pocket when working and the gap will introduce lint and all kinds of dirt, effectively reducing the life of the internal. It's not a big problem for me as I'll most likely take it apart and use a lubricant with PTFE, but not everyone wants to do that, nor should they have to.Ultimately, I issued this 3 star conclusion only because Wiha has a great durability/sturdiness track record as far as the past tools that I've purchased. And I'm sure this one specifically is a freak accident as well as I've also bought tools from their recent stock on different websites that have no physical defects at all and work like a champ. The two start knocked off are because of this products defects only.Edit: 5/18/2022I have included a picture of the ratchet with out the faceplate on, along with the debris that made it's way inside before my use. Today is the first day of use, and the ratchets bidirectional toggle started to stick. There were about 4 pieces of debris stuck in the toggle switch.
