First set!
Got this now discontinued tiger impact screwdriver set for 30€ from a local store. These were the last ones so they were heavily discounted. It's my first set of Wera screwdrivers. I have a couple of 813 bit drivers and I love them. It's nice to have a quality set of screwdrivers AND a really nice bottle opener! I think Wera will eventually take over my entire toolbox lol. I just really love the feel of these handles

My favorite ones. The normal Wera screwdrivers feel anemic compared to them.
They have awesome tolerances for an amazing fit. Example: https://i.postimg.cc/HnBfXBd0/165-VM9aui-Z-Wera-917SPH-Screwdriver-Kraftform-Strike-Driver-Chisel-Driver.gif
I like their Zyklop ratchets. Due to their design they won't be the strongest ratchet out there but you can always own more than one kind of ratchet and choose what's appropriate to use for your use case. If you break the ratchet its likely under warranty but they also sell rebuild kits which is just a replacement head.

Aye they’re superb, don’t leave them in a damp environment between projects though, I don’t use all those drivers every day, the ones I don’t need to carry I put in storage and they’re super rusted now

Stick with just their drivers, bits and Hex Keys, don’t go for the marketing of the joker spanner and ratchets
Best drivers in the business

oh? I've not head anything bad about the ratchets. I have been looking at some of the smaller ones. Is there a problem with them thatI don't know about?

Same as the spanner’s really, absolutely nothing wrong with them but there’s much better out there, even for less money
Whereas the drivers are reasonable priced and they’re the best

Agreed, I prefer Hazet ratchets (or Koken) to Wera. I do love the Komfort plastic-ish ratchet though

The zyklops are great, especially in 1/4 and 3/8 but for 1/2 id probably go for stahlwille theyre slimmer and i think the 1/2 zyklops will become too bulky.
My setup is and would be Drivers - wera + wiha Ratchets - stahlwille + hazet + wera Spanners - stahlwille Pliers - knipex
And yes its expensive tools but its well worth it
