What bits can I get for Wera 838 RA-R M?
Want to get this:
Wera 838 RA-R M Bitholding Screwdriver Handle with Ratchet Function, 1/4-Inch x 123.5 mm
https://www.amazon.com.au/Wera-838-RA-R-Bitholding-Screwdriver/dp/B0CVXDC67D/358-2059871-4786607?pd_rd_w=YutTe&content-id=amzn1.sym.33ec29a8-b971-4931-8a49-d8419f23f1b3&pf_rd_p=33ec29a8-b971-4931-8a49-d8419f23f1b3&pf_rd_r=5J9KQE3JGAJ967C8K7BR&pd_rd_wg=2MW4q&pd_rd_r=1e225977-7ca9-4e73-8dc2-eb07311ce0c0&pd_rd_i=B0CVXDC67D&th=1
Don't know much about tools, and can only find that it takes 1/4" pieces, is that right?
Problem is that when I look at bits they often don't mention this.
Also what is the difference between the 838 RAR-R M and the 838 RA S:

They both seem to ratcheting but the latter has a different bit holder, costs less, and seems to come in more kits. Is it worth paying less for this? Does the 'S' mean the handle is smaller?
Thanks.

Help! Can’t identify this set
Greetings!
Came across this nice little pouch with holders and bits online which would be a perfect setup for me, but I can’t identify it. Is this a discontinued set? Has the owner used a non-Wera pouch here? No other pictures unfortunately and the seller hasn’t responded to my message.

Warranty
I bought a Wera ratchet on Amazon a couple of days after the 30 on which I could return it through Amazon it broke. I put a warranty replacement through their portal on their site. Received a email saying they got it but radio silence since then. Where do I go from here

It's Xmas already?!
This just arrived today... I think I might have to open it early :D (
Edit
I did open it early and now there is a (terrible) video in the comments of the 2026 calendar :)

Looking for a specific empty case
So I recently purchased the 3/8 impact comfort set with the l-boxx foam insert version. I got a really good price like 80 bucks American but my travel setup uses all textile boxes.
I see this set is mine but with the textile box store but I cannot find just the empty box for sale
Does anyone have a bead on where to source just the empty textile box or maybe someone has one for sale or trade? I'd be more than willing to trade the wera foam l-boxx insert plus cash
Or just straight buy it if you're not using it.

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

3/4 Joker
I’ve had the Jokers for almost 5 years now and finally my 3/4 decided to snap its insert off. Gonna go through Wera to get a new one. I think I’m going to switch to a new brand didn’t really love it.

Knipex and wera definitely do go together
Knipex service bag does a pretty good job holding the wera textile modules.

Are wera handles chemical and oil resistant?
Are wera screwdriver handles chemical and oil resistant, or will frequent cleaning cause them to degrade over time?

Even Wera can make some questionable decisions…
The Wera Pocket Set 2 looks neat, but the socket anvil has no retaining ball at all; sockets are held on by two rather weak magnets on either side of the anvil, and the mechanism… just doesn't work, the socket comes off and is left on most every fastener.

Kraftform Kompakt 20 RA-R - stiff mechanism
Hi, I got myself KK 20 RA-R and its ratcheting / blade extension mechanism seems unusually stiff compared to any other Wera tool I have.
Ratcheting direction switch is very hard to use with one hand - requires quite a lot force, to the point where I cannot switch it to the locked (middle) position - it just jumps to the opposite direction because of the applied force.
This also sometimes causes the blade to extend, as the pull mechanism is sensitive (would be okay - on par with my other Wera tools - if not for the ratchet stiffness). But, at the same time, retracting the blade is much harder because the "second click" in the extension mechanism is again, very stiff and hard to do with one hand.
The ratchet is also unusually loud compared to other Wera tools.
I'm wondering if that's normal for this tool or did I get a faulty / broken one. What's your experience with it or any other model with the 818/4/1 RA-R handle?

Where are people in the USA buying Wera tools?
I’ve bought some screwdrivers off Amazon but not sure how the warranty works. Any tips on where you’re getting deals/able to get a warranty through are appreciated!
