Wiha 74984 32 Piece GoBox Standard Bit Set with Mini Ratchet

Background: I have a Wera Tool-Check Plus, which is too big for me to put in my pockets for EDC with other items. I also, rarely use sockets to justify to carry extra weight. I wanted a good EDC screwdriver and wrench system with commonly used heads, plus easy to carry on a commercial plane. It was competition between this and Wera's https://a.co/d/c7Aijwi, with 10 bit set. This one won due to Wiha's quality and more heads at a price lower than the Wera's, despite of me being a "Wera-hore" as my significant other calls me. I added my Wera 813R ESD as the screwdriver for the EDC to supplement this kit. Pros: 1. Very compact. Measures about 5 inches long and about 1.5 inches thick. It easily fits my pants (both jeans and cargo) or shorts right pocket along with the 813R screwdriver and Knipex Cobra 6-inch pliers, Leatherman Squirt PS4 multitool and Skeletool knife. The pocket does not look overly filled nor do the tools stick to my hips like a colony of leeches. 2. Good quality. This tool is robust and well made. Based on my experience, I believe Wera has better quality, finish, packaging and presentation, and durability at a higher price, compared to Wiha. Whether that "value" is better, only you can answer that. 3. Versatility. This has a good assortment of bits, a nice extension piece, and a very good ratchet. It basically satisfies my needs while being outdoors, riding my bike, or performing work around the house. Coupled with the screwdriver, it gives me additional flexibility and capability. 4. Workability. You can add a good amount of force and torque to move some of the tight pesky screws without any issues. The extension really helps with getting that additional driving force. Being small, it can work around tight spaces and unreachable areas. Cons: 1. Weight. This is heavy. It does lug around some. I did not measure the actual weight, but it does seem to pull down on pockets which do not have additional lining reinforcements. 2. Packaging. As mentioned earlier, Wiha saves costs with packaging in ho-hum ways. This can lead to packages getting damaged (see the last picture). It was the first one I ordered, which was missing the most important tool - the ratchet. Amazon's handling has quality issues. Had to return it. The second unit shows decent packaging, but not nearly as good as Wera has beautiful boxes for its units. 3. The ratchet direction switch is easy to move with your thumb on it with little or no pressure, without noticing it. I had multiple times, only to realize why the screw wasn't tightening. This can be a major flaw if you are working on a critical work. The Wera's direction switch is much smaller and requires more pressure, that you cannot accidentally bump it. Comparison: For comparison, I have shown the Wera's ratchet and extension with Wiha's. While Wera's ratchet is similar, the quality and feel of it feels better. The extension for Wera is stubbier and smaller. The unhooking mechanism feels better than Wiha's. Again, for the price and usage, it was not a concern to justify paying higher. Bottomline: This is a good EDC set for taking around with good versatility and quality at a very good price (<$30). I hope to keep it for a long time unless my priorities change or I lose it. I will give it a 4.7/5.0.

I love this set. It's extremely high quality in look, feel, and function. It's not cheap junk and the handle has a perfect heft that makes it feel substantial, even thought it's small in size. The case is solid and well organized and the extension comes in handy more than I expected. The set has a very good mix of common and less common bits to cover most basic needs you'll encounter. I keep this set in a desk at my work, where I technically shouldn't ever need hand tools - except for the daily situations that pop up where I do. Such as: - a screw pops out of a co-worker's glasses? Boom, I can fix that. - loose fastener in a shelf, cubicle, fixture, etc? I got it. - need to take apart that old classic wall clock and tape a printout of your co-worker's face onto the clockface as a silly prank? I gotcha covered. Buy it. Use it. Be a workplace hero.

I picked up the Wiha 32 Piece GoBox Bit Set with the mini ratchet, and overall, I’m really happy with it. It’s small, well put together, and the bits seem tough and reliable. What I like: Super Compact: The whole set fits in a little metal box, so it’s easy to throw in a bag or toolbox. Great for quick fixes or tight spots. Lots of Bits: It comes with 32 different bits—Phillips, flathead, Torx, hex, and more. Pretty much everything you’d need for small jobs. Feels Durable: The ratchet and bits feel solid, not cheap or flimsy. What I don’t love: Tiny Ratchet: The ratchet itself is really small. If you’ve got big hands like me, it might feel awkward to use. It’s fine for light work, but don’t expect to crank down hard with it. A Bit Pricey: For the size, it’s not the cheapest set out there. But the quality helps make up for that. Bottom Line: This is a great little set for quick jobs or working in tight spaces. If your hands are on the larger side or you need something with more grip power, you might want to look at a bigger ratchet. Still, it’s well-made and super handy to have around.

I work community and city convention events. I need an array of tools for different activations and displays. Frequent assemblies in tight quarters. I’ve tried nearly every mini ratchet made. This Wiha is very tough. Not super tough, none of these mini ratchets are but this is probably in the top five of any mini ratchet of this size. I have broke one Wiha but I can’t blame the ratchet since I’ve broken several others with far less effort. I’d like to think I’m smarter now. In any case I own several of these because the bits are such high quality, the selection of bits covers 95% of what I do and the case is so compact I think of the ratchet as a bonus. Great set, very handy and well made. Quality tool that will get you out of pickles and last a lifetime when used with common sense.

I got this for a co-worker we are professional forklift mechanics in an active Industrial shop. The set is a very high quality gift idea comes in a metal case that is very compact the ratchet is smooth and feels high quality in the hand this is a good low pro 1/4 inch bit ratchet or can be used as a 1/4 inch stubby ratchet with the socket adapter. Now that I got him one I can't get myself one so that's the only downside

The Wiha 74984 GoBox delivers excellent bit precision and durability in a compact, well-organized case. Bits fit fasteners perfectly with no slipping or wear. Ideal for pros and serious DIYers. Sturdy case, great variety — reliable and built to last.

This is very small, but it is awesome when you need it. Well made tools

Tool is good, well made, very compact but even after discount, it is too expensive for what it is, tool is not worth the high price.

Works well in small spaces well made

This is a perfect product that is value for money and useful at home. I've been using it for more than a year and fully satisfied.
