I've had the SAE set of these nut drivers for ten years and have found them to be excellent performers in a number of areas (electrical and mechanical). I recently had need for a metric set and went right back with WIHA. These are each six inches long and use a standard 1/4 inch drive. The business ends are sized at 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 mm, and use the standard color coding for each size. I haven't had any of the color coding come off on my older drivers, so I expect these will be the same. They are differentiated from the SAE drivers (which have a black finish) by having a silver finish. A good addition to any tool kit

I’ve used Wiha tools for years very well made

These nut drivers are amazing!! Why haven’t I got these sooner. Love the color coordination among them. Like the fact that the magnet on them are strong enough. Not bad bang for buck. I’d buy them again.

Good buy, good quality, I use there here and there, but if I had a use case for nut drivers all the time, these would be my go to tools (in this type of configuration). well made, I general like Wiha brand stuff and where possible and available, I have purchase and will buy again...

Wiha makes great products. Only had these two or three months they are holding up well. Color coating makes them easy after a while(you will eventually start to remember which color is what) to grab the right one quickly. The retention magnets seem to be holding up well. I really like them and would definitely buy again.

These are one of my most used items. I am always trying to get my fingers in places they cannot go. These never leave my box and I use them a ton. Plus, this is a Wiha item so you know they are bullet proof. Been using Wiha in the service industry since 1999 and their tools are the best in my opinion. The best for what I do =]
