The New Wera Zyklop Hybrid & Update on New Wera Tools

Wera introduced a lot of new tools and new features for existing tools at the International Hardware Show earlier this month in Cologne, Germany. If you are a Wera fan (#toolrebels) then you will be glad to know after 5 years of waiting for an updated catalog, Wera has finally released a new catalog containing all of the new products they released over the last few years (Joker Wrenches, Color coded L-Key sets, etc.) as well as items introduced earlier this month such as the Zyklop Hybrid 1/2″ drive ratchet (pictured above).

Each month we give a $50 KC Tool gift certificate to one of our customers who left a product review in that month. The gift certificate is applied to the customer’s account so they can use it next time they make a purchase from KC Tool.
Strings? What strings? There are no strings attached. This is just a good old fashioned giveaway to thank those of you who leave reviews about the tools you buy from us. The more reviews you leave, the better your chances of winning.
Glenn F., from Newark, Delaware has luck on his side. He left three reviews in the month of January and his winning review was for the Wiha (Heyco) 35013 14 x 15mm Open End Wrench

Glenn had this to say about the Wiha (Heyco) wrench he received:
“Matches missing tools from auto tool pouch exactly.“
Congratulations, Glenn! Thanks for leaving your reviews and your kind words about KC Tool. KC Tool offers international shipping to over 12 countries. If you do not see your country listed on our website, please contact sales@kctoolco.com (order minimums & restrictions may apply).
Wondering how we choose the winner? It’s nothing fancy. We export all of the reviews into an Excel spreadsheet and use random.org to generate a random number. The corresponding numbered line on the spreadsheet is the winner.
Good luck next month!
Great Deals on Wera Tools – Winter Promo 2016
Wera has big plans for 2016 — and with the biannual International Hardware Fair in Cologne, Germany coming up in less than 2 months (March 6-8) look for new innovations from the leaders in ergonomics, function, and design. Pictured above is the Zyklop Speed (formerly “Zyklop”) which Wera describes as, “particularly impressive because it combines 5 types of ratchet into a single tool, and delivers the fastest working speeds.” These features result in making work simpler, and saving time. Check out the YouTube video below to see it in action.
The Zyklop Speed is available in 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ drives and carries a lifetime warranty. The pricing on the Wera Winter Promo is valid now through March 31, 2016, however, there are a few items that are valid while supplies last (details below).
- 1/4″ Zyklop Speed – WR003500 Sale $57.99
- 3/8″ Zyklop Speed – WR003550 Sale $64.99
- 1/2″ Zyklop Speed – WR003600 Sale $69.99
Also featured this Winter is the Kraftform Plus 6 Piece Screwdriver set that includes 4 Slotted and 2 Phillips complete with a storage rack. This is a good all around set to buy if you have been thinking about trying Wera screwdrivers. The tops of the handles have the tip style and size indicated for easy identification. All but the smallest slotted driver feature Wera’s Lasertip technology that “bites” into the screw head that help to ensure a precise fit and reduce slippage (anti cam out).
Wera 334/6 Kraftform Plus SL/PH Screwdriver Set + Rack – WR105650 Sale $25.99
Wera is also featuring their 8751-9/IMP DC Phillips Impaktor Bit-Check Set which includes x6 PH #2 and x3 PH #3 insert bits from their Impaktor series. This set also includes an Impaktor 1/4″ hex bit holder with retaining and ring magnet all conveniently stored in a hard plastic case. These are the bits you want to use in your heavy-duty impact driver.

8751-9/IMP DC Phillips Impaktor Bit – Check Set – WR057686 Sale $39.99
As mentioned above, there are some items subject to availability. We have been informed that Wera plans to discontinue the two L-Key sets pictured below in late February or early March of 2016. We hope that the reasoning behind this is that there will be better sets replacing them soon– but how can you improve on greatness? Only time will tell but based on Wera’s history of innovation and motto “Tools From Ideas” we should see some awesome new tools coming soon. In the meantime pickup a set of these L-Keys for $27.00 each (while supplies last).
950 SPKL/9 Hex + Ball End Hex Metric L-key Clip Set – WR022088 Sale $27.00

Wera 950 SPKL/9 Hex + Ball End Hex SAE L-key Pouch Set – WR022528 Sale $27.00

Tool Magazines & Publications

There are many different ways to get your news — iPad, Kindle, iPhone, Desktop, Laptop, etc. How about print media? Although perhaps becoming increasingly more archaic, I still prefer newspapers and magazines over televisions and the Interweb. It’s neat to see the success of niche magazines continue in this day and age — whether it’s automobiles, firearms, gardening, or French cooking there’s a magazine for it. But how about tools? There are home improvement magazines and woodworking periodicals that feature tool reviews but I have yet to find a magazine purely devoted to tools at a newsstand. Below is a list of tool and tool-related periodicals, some of which may be available in print.
- Tools of the Trade
- Contractor Supply
- ETMM (European Tool & Mould Making)
- Tool Business & Hire (UK, digital version available; features many of the German tool brands we carry)
- Construction Business Owner
- Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN, automotive focus)
- Cutting Tool Engineering (CTE)
- Wood Magazine
- Popular Mechanics
- Contractor’s Tool Source
- Electrical Contractor (EC Mag)
- The Fabricator
- Industrial Distribution
