/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2785858
I ordered one of these Wera textile sets that goes up to 3/4" and the socket holder for 3/4" socket arrived broken at the plastic retaining nub. The drilled hole on the Wera socket is so sharp, combined with the heavy weight of the 3/4" socket, it sheared off the plastic retaining nub during shipping. I have no idea why manufacturers drill a single hole on the side of sockets. It's absolutely stupid and unnecessary. The sockets already have interior indentations for socket retention. I returned that shit, of course.

Apart from this incident, I find the twist-lock mechanism to be superior to all others. Not just wera, but also Ernst make them too. I keep my 3/8" drive sets on Ernst twist-lock socket rails. All my 1/4" drive stuff is on Wera's twist-lock rails and textile cases. The cases especially are really fucking awesome. I buy empty Wera cases and just put my Koken and Stahlwille stuff in them. Pic related my socket go-kit for line maintenance.
