I bought this Wiha PocketMax VDE screwdriver from Express Electrical in July 2022, in the UK.
I normally use Wera screwdrivers but I thought I would try Wiha after seeing the PocketMax online.
Lets just say I am not a fan but you can make up your own mind.
I need to sort out a decent intro and outro, this was a stock one that came with the editing software I used.
Thanks for the truly honest assessment, I had watched delboys garage big this stuff up but thought he was paid to say how good the stuff was, tbh the blood made my mind up!!
Love it. That work surface should have an air rifle on it, and one of those screwdrivers should have a 'Pokey' thing. 😊
I got one 2 months ago. It gets used daily as the "pocket driver. Pull the bits out from the thick end! It's much easier. Bits are not Pozi, BUt Philips! Also, annoyingly, all the other,Wiha bits are too long to fit in handle, a bit annoying BUT it is well,worth it
Sadly , the pocket max isn’t out in North America yet ! Do want !
Maybe send it back. It doesn't looks like it's that hard to get the bits out in the other videos I've seen. (Update just got mine and it's so easy to take them in and out. If you're pulling the bits straight up. Not out and up. And even if you don't put them all the way in. The magnet will close it anyway.)
Hopefully they have tweaked the tolerances, mine was not good. I lost it within a week of owning it, which solved the problem lol
Looks like Wiha got the hang of charging a premium price, just not the making of a premium tool.
Got mine for 35$ for a set of 4 screwdriver in a compact format. For 1000v there's not really any other alternatives. Wera makes on but that's way bigger. I like mine a lot. And don't have any off the problems he mentions in the video.
Hopefully they tweaked the tolerances to make them more user friendly, mine was terrible.
You're doing a review aren't you? If you're interested in seeing what happens when you drop it, then drop it and let us see.😅
