• Ratchets: Two ratchets are included – a standard and a flexible head. Both feature Wera’s Zyklop mechanism. This is key. The Zyklop ratchet offers an incredibly low return angle (5°) which is a game-changer in tight spaces. The fine-tooth design (80 teeth) provides excellent precision and minimizes backlash.
• Sockets: A comprehensive range of Imperial sockets (5/64" – 9/16") are included, covering the vast majority of common fastener sizes. The sockets are made from polished chrome vanadium steel, offering excellent strength and corrosion resistance. The "Take it easy" tool identification – color-coding by size – is a brilliant feature. It saves so much time when rummaging through the set.
• Bits: A generous selection of bits is included, covering Phillips, Slotted, Torx, Hex, and Pozidriv. These are Wera’s renowned bits, known for their exceptional toughness and precision fit. The bit holder is also well-designed, allowing for secure bit retention.
• Accessories: The set also includes extensions (various lengths, including a wobble extension), a universal joint, and adapters. These accessories significantly expand the set’s versatility.

Performance & Build Quality:

Wera consistently delivers on quality, and this set is no exception. The ratchets feel smooth and robust, with a positive engagement. The sockets grip fasteners securely, minimizing the risk of rounding. The bits hold their shape well, even under heavy use. I’ve used cheaper sets where bits cam out or strip easily; that’s simply not an issue here.

The "Take it easy" marking system is genuinely useful. It's not just a gimmick; it speeds up tool selection considerably, especially when working on complex projects. The Zyklop mechanism is a standout feature. The low return angle makes a noticeable difference in tight spaces, and the fine-tooth design provides excellent control.

Pros:

• Exceptional Build Quality: Wera tools are known for their durability, and this set lives up to that reputation.
• Zyklop Ratchet Mechanism: Low return angle and fine-tooth design for superior performance.
• "Take it Easy" Tool Identification: Color-coding simplifies tool selection.
• Comprehensive Selection: Covers a wide range of Imperial fastener sizes and bit types.
• Robust & Well-Designed Case: Keeps tools organized and protected.

Cons:

• Price: This isn’t the cheapest 1/4" drive set on the market. However, the quality justifies the investment.
• Imperial Only: If you primarily work with metric fasteners, this set won’t be ideal.

Overall:

The Wera Tool-Check Plus Imperial 39-Piece set is a fantastic investment for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals. It’s a well-thought-out, high-quality set that will last for years. While the price is higher than some competitors, the superior build quality, innovative features, and comprehensive selection make it well worth the money. I highly recommend this set to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile 1/4" drive tool set. It’s a tool you’ll reach for time and time again.
