Great set, but beware that Wera part number 05003471008 is long discontinued.
I bought this kit in 2014 after taking a mild shock while tightening terminal in a "secured and isolated" control system cabinet. I ended up finding out that it was connected to a switchboard which had recently been upgraded and was now supplying 100 VDC (on a 5 amp breaker!) to an in-cabinet contact intended for 24 VDC max.The good: I've dragged this set around the world since then, and I think I've used every single blade in it at one time or the other, with the possible exception of one or two of the four cabinet keys. The smallest flat blade handles PC-board mounted trimpots quite well, and the flat blades are profiled correctly to handle the vast majority of spring terminals I've run into which are accessible with a straight tool. All of the tips are very tough and precisely fit their intended heads. The handle profile works very well for me.The minor flaws: the lighter color sections of the handle are softer (elastomer?) and degrade a little and stain a lot with oil exposure, which is inevitable on ships. Neither is bad enough to merit a replacement even after ten years, though. The cabinet key blades are entirely plastic, so I carry a metal backup for the one I use 99% of the time, but it has turned out to be tough enough that I probably don't actually need to.All that said, I wouldn't purchase this particular item listing today if I needed a replacement. Wera part number 05003471008 has been discontinued a long time, and as far as I can tell looking at other reviews on here, there have been two or maybe three or more slightly different sets sold under this number on this particular listing.The big difference between the sets is if they contain Wera's single-phase contact-type voltage tester or not, and if the tester is replaced by a second driver handle or not. According to Wera's website, the tester is not for sale in the US or Canada (to those unfamiliar with this particular type of tester, the user's body is the circuit's path to ground via stray capacitance, and they can both fail to indicate live contacts and be a shock hazard). My set came without the tester and with a single handle (but with a loop in the case for a second handle, which I bought later as an upgrade), and the sets that Wera currently sells without the tester come with a second handle instead.Again, until this listing is updated with the actual Wera part number on offer, it isn't worth the risk of getting an imported set with an unsafe voltage tester instead of a useful second handle. Wera themselves also seem to have discontinued all old versions of this set in favor of two new-for-2024 versions with color-coded blades, all without the voltage detector.

I absolutely loves these tools
These are great and for the price you can't beat them. Everyone at work ask me where I got them and for how much. And they all say the same thing. "I'm going to get me some"
