Are all of our tools made in Germany?

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:

GiftCard-900x560

This month we had something very interesting happen with our contest. I’m compelled to talk about it because I’m worried it’s going reflect badly on our contest validity.  A few days ago I chose a product review to post on Facebook.  I did it for SEO value and to keep some activity on our Facebook page.  In the post, I wished the reviewer good luck in our contest and in my mind thought it would be crazy if he won.  Today I got an email from Aaron who runs our contest, telling me he ran the contest and applied the store credit. To my absolute dismay the winner was the same review I had just posted on Facebook.  I thought Aaron was playing a trick on me but he assured me the contest was run at random.org the same way we always do (see process below).  Out of hundreds of reviews, we randomly picked the same review I posted on Facebook as the winner of our contest.  I want to assure everyone that we run the contest with integrity and never influence the outcome to favor any customer or particular review.

Dan G. from Crescent City, CA had luck on his side. Dan posted 5 reviews in the month of December. His winning review was for a Wiha IPR4 Precision Pentalobe Screwdriver.

Dan had this to say about the Wiha Pentalobe Screwdriver he bought:
“I’ve been searching for high quality pentalobe drivers for our macbooks, I’m so glad Wiha has released these.”

Congratulations Dan! Thanks for leaving product reviews at kctoolco.com.

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!

Pentalobe Screwdriver for Apple iPhone will be available in a High Quality version from German Tool Manufacturer

Kyle BaccusLeave a comment

Update 4/10/14: Pentalobe bits are now available in this precision bit set and will be available separately soon.

Update: Newer post here.

The only readily available Pentalobe screwdrivers are currently produced in China.  These Pentalobe screwdrivers may be acceptable for occasional use but those of you who are repairing Apple products will be excited to learn about a higher quality tool currently being manufactured by Wiha.  It’s widely accepted that Wiha, a German tool manufacturer, makes the highest quality precision screwdrivers in the world and we are thrilled to report that they have begun manufacturing six Pentelobe screwdrivers in sizes IPR1 through IPR6. These will certainly be the tool of choice for iPhone Repair Technicians around the world!

The Pentalobe screw was first used by Apple in 2009.  It’s been used in Apple’s iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 as well as the MacBook and Macbook Air.  It’s classified as a temper proof fastener and is meant to stop unauthorized opening or repair of the devices. The design is very similar to the six point Torx screw except it only has five points.

Wiha was not able to give us a firm date for the release of this new driver but we do know they have begun production on six sizes that will first be released in their standard precision screwdriver handle and ESD safe insert blades for their ESD Safe Torque Screwdrivers.
