Great little set!
By Artist on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022
This is a great (quality) set for small jobs and small areas to loosen and tighten nuts and bolts. I had gotten one with the metric system which I like a lot, but I recently needed a standard American (Imperial) system when I realized the sockets were not fitting the nuts that needed tightening for a recent task. Since I liked the quality so much with the first one, I got this one as well. It’s so compact and the metal feels like quality metal. The ratchet sounds like it has a very fine toothed, precision gear. I would have liked one larger sized socket rather than the smallest size, which I’ll likely not use. But that’s just a personal preference. This is well worth the money. At the time of this purchase it was $77.00, U.S. There’s a lot in this little kit. I do simple tasks, and I don’t need large, heavy tools. I do like quality tools though, made with quality metals, and this set feels like that to me. It will be a great companion to my Leatherman tools. I was needing a ratchet fro some time now, and they don’t make one.. I definitely recommend this set if you like quality compact tools. When I’ve used it for a while and really feel it’s been given a good test, I will update this review.

I am not really sure if this was a good purchase..
By J. C. on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022
Check out the measurements of the set in the pictures posted. The bits seem strong and functional as well as the ratchet. It's teeny tiny. I like the size. The case is the reason I bought the set. Unfortunately, the case is poorly designed and flimsy. The slider that holds the ratchet in place fell off and was lost, after the first hour of use. This leaves the ratchet unsecured and does not stay attached, at all. It must have happened when going in and out of my pocket. The driver holder is not secure and will not hold up. I saw others replaced the plastic fasteners that hold the driver holder on, but I doubt, even with metal fasteners, the plastic holder will hold up to everyday use. The locking bit holder/extension broke on the first day too. I did put some force on it, when removing it from another extension, but feel it should have handled it. The belt clip is useless. It is a flexible piece of plastic that can pop off with little pressure. The housing, on the case, for the sockets is not covered. They haven't come loose yet, but I think eventually I will lose a socket from being open. The sockets can only be placed in the holder the way the square female end allows for it to be inserted. The identification printing on the sockets don't all line up properly to be seen when attached. There are marking on the case as well, but those markings are not as convenient. I do like the color on the sockets for Identifying the size. The 1-inch bits are nice and strong. I like that they are easy to pull out of the holder. There are two rows that are on a hinge. The hinge allows them to face out of the whole case, and even allows the two rows of bits to be spaced so fingers can get between them. This allows for easy removal of a single bit with big fingers. It could be nice if the driver could double as an extension handle for the short ratchet, but I don't know if this would be an easy engineering design. I am not sure if this will meet my needs. It has most of what I want in a pocket set but the functionality of the case isn't quite there on its execution.

It’s hard to beat the quality you get in such a compact form.

The quality you get in Wera tools, and the diverse applications of the tools in the Tool-Check Plus, in such a compact form. It’s hard to beat. I wish I was able to get the metric version, but It was actually cheaper to get the Tool-Check Plus Imperial and it came bundled with a Wera ratcheting screwdriver. That was a deal I couldn’t pass up. So if you’re looking to pick up a Tool-Check Plus, look at the bundles. The prices change often.
Well thought out tool kit.

Awesome little tool kit

After using this kit for the past few months i feel comfortable writing a review on it finally. I work as an industrial mechanic and this kit has been a valuable addition to my tool box. Having every bit and a lot of common sockets readily available is a gamechanger for the often smaller tasks that pop up. the quality of the tool set is top notch especially for the price. I would recommend this to anyone that works I the mechanical trades or even as a gift to a new homeowner.
Compact and capable

Great portable tool kit that has a lot of capability. Very high quality but a little pricy for what you get. You could build a kit for less but the Tool-Check Plus comes in a great little organized package that keeps everything secured and easy to use. A very nice piece of kit.
Couldn't pass up the sale ($40 bucks!)

Cool little form factor, but they've since come out with a similar set but much nicer nylon folding case. I'm a geek for aethestics and something about wera has me hooked. got this to sit next to the desk to figet with. love messin with the little wrench, has a satifying click. I use the kit for little things around the house like light switches, outlets, putting batteries in devices. sockets have a nice grey smooth satin finish. wish the magnet was stronger on the driver so that you would be able to manipulate the extension one hand. the tension on the extention mechanism is stronger than the attraction from the magnet. ie, the mf falls off!
Perfection.

This is without doubt the most beautiful set of tools I’ve ever owned. In fact, it’s one of the most beautiful objects I’ve ever owned. It’s perfectly realized. The holder is masterfully designed. The bits and the sockets are well fastened and labeled but are easily accessible. The handle on the side is well positioned and secured. And the adapter and mini ratchet are ingeniously held in place at the top. The bit set is extensive and they and the sockets fit in any standard tool. Yes, the handle and ratchet are very small. But that means that they fill a void for most of us who have the standard-sized versions. But the set also gives us a lot of well made and labeled bits and sockets in a wonderful form factor. And it being Wera, the sockets are colorful and nice to look at. I can’t tell you the number of times that I take out this set just to admire it. It’s simply as close to perfect as a set of tools can be.
