Ancient German Tools Discovered
We often get phone calls or emails asking us to help identify old tools. In fact, it’s not that uncommon to see tools stamped with “West Germany” or “W. Germany” as was commonplace prior to the reunification of Germany. One tool we have not seen is anything made out of bone or animal remains.

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).
Are all of our tools made in Germany?
KC Tool is America’s leading German Tool distributor. We specialize in German Tools and besides a couple products we produce ourselves, we only sell German brands of tools. The question of where the tools are made comes up occasionally and can be a source of great debate. In an ideal world, the German tool brands we sell would manufacture all of their tools in Germany but unfortunately this is not the case. Brands such as Gedore and Knipex manufacture nearly all of their tools in Germany whereas others like Wera are almost exclusively produced outside of Germany. Wiha has factories in Germany and many other countries. So the big question is:
DOES IT MATTER?

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
