Real Talk
This has quickly become my favorite ratchet and socket set that I own. The convenience of the swivel head on the ratchet allows for you to use it in several different applications and scenarios.
The Zyklop Speed ratchet head can be locked in place at 0°, 15°, and 90°. Allowing you to start a fastener or screw in 0° “screwdriver mode” and then pivot the ratchet around to 15° or 90° and finish tightening it down, or in order to loosen a fastener you could begin with the ratchet at 15° or 90° to get it free then pivot the ratchet to 0° in order to back the fastener off more quickly.
When purchased as a set, the Wera Zyklop Speed Ratchet 1/4" Drive SAE Set includes 28 pieces:
(4) Hex Bits (5/32”, 3/16”, 7/32” and 1/4”)
(3) Phillips Bits (#1, #2 and #3)
(2) Pozidriv Bits (#1 and #2)
(6) TORX Bits (T10, T15, T20, T25, T27 and T30)
(1) 1/4” Bit Adapter

A neat and useful feature of this socket set is that the sockets themselves twist to lock into the case, preventing them from spilling out everywhere as soon as you open the case (I’m looking at you cheap hard plastic socket sets that we all own several of).
