Wera 05020012001 Joker Set Imperial Combination Wrench-Set, 8 Pieces

Awesome wrenches. They don’t slip and the ratchet is very good. They’re very well-made and perfect for clean room work.

These Joker Wrenches are no Joke:) Finally pulled the trigger on some and worth every penny.

Quality at its finest! The weight.. The hand feel.. The features.. hands down the best. The mechanism the doesn't let you opened end wrench pass a bolt has been worth the money already. A true must for career mechanics or even someone that just loves Quality. Highly recommend!

Product Arrived As Described !!

I have been on a high end tool kick as of late.The sting of the price is really driven away with the knowledge that I have a tool that is backed with a lifetime warranty, and that I will probably in fact use for a lifetime. Life has so many irritations in it, I love buying tools that can at least eliminate some of the smaller ones. Up until now, I had been using some Husky ratcheting wrenches. I didn't really have any problem with them. They got the job done, they took a beating and wore out or broke. When I saw these wrenches though, I had to have them. The Wera wrenches are slightly lighter than the Huskeys', which I like considering I do commercial HVAC and I am constantly climbing ladders. The open ended side has so many great design improvements. There have been many times in the field where I was violently cursing out a machine because a bolt was in such a position where I had to constantly do the flippy doo of changing the direction of the wrench just to tighten it by a fraction of a turn. With the 12 point, non-crooked open ended side of the Wera wrench though, this problem has become much less tedious. I also really like the "toothed gripping plate" that is on one side of the open jaw side. So many goobers out there have destroyed bolts that are such a pain to remove. The gripping plate at least gives you a chance of gripping these bolts. Not to mention, the gripping plate also holds nuts in place for you without them falling through. A great feature. If I had to criticize anything about these wrenches, it would only be on certain aesthetics. Personally, I like laser etched EVERYTHING. The wrenches do have the sizes stamped into the metal, but I wish the logo and turning arrows for the ratcheting side were also etched rather than printed. Like I said, I only say this if I am forced to say something negative about these wrenches. They are basically perfection. My advice to everyone is, buy these wrenches. Ignore the price. If you are professional, you owe it to yourself to own professional grade tools. If you aren't a professional but just enjoy having nice tools, Wera tools are just so damn beautiful. You can buy them and display them while you think of a reason to use them. Hell, even the box and tool bag they come in look great.

I love Wera, they have some high quality tools. I bought these back in 2017 and use them almost daily. Well I use the standard sizes daily 7/16, 1/2, and 9/16. But I have used every wrench in the SAE set and I’ve never had to buy another. This covers every size you will normally need. I live the gears every year with a small drop of bolistol. You can’t remove the gear to replace them but if you take care of them it should last a lifetime. They feel really good in the hand! They are easy to clean! A lot of people don’t even know that these have a bolt holding feature on them (pictured). It comes in handy if you can only reach one arm into something and have to feel for the hole. You can have it hold the bolt then put your finger on the back of it and it applies pressure but doesn’t go out the other end. Really niche but when you need it, it will save you a lot of time vs. taking off a bunch of guards or whatever you are working on to get in there.

I initially loved the concept behind these wrenches and was very excited to buy them. Now that I have them I am a little less impressed than I expected. The finish on these wrenches are a dull grey which I like because I'm tired of the slippery polished chrome finishes but the finish has a few imperfections, the 'Wera Joker" logos aren't even centered on a couple of the wrenches and the color coded labels don't even wrap around the entire wrench, they have small gaps on the sides. The visual imperfections I do not care much about since I plan to use the set more than look at it. However, There are a couple functional problems here too. First, the ratcheting box end has a very well machined fit but the drag on the ratcheting action is higher than I expect in an expensive set. Secondly, the thickness in all directions of both the open and box end are larger than most wrenched which can be a problem in very tight places. Finally, while the joker design can eliminate the need for offset wrenches but there are some limited access applications where you must attack the fastener straight on and the design will not work as wera expected so it would have been nice to see the standard offset instead of the straight open end of these wrenches. That being said, I still very much like the Joker wrenches, I was removing some AN fitting in a hard to reach on a Citation and the Joker wrenches held very well and very much appreciated no having to flip the wrench each turn. I am also excited to use the holding function to sneak a nut behind panels to get started instead of my normal style of holding it between my index and middle finger where I might accidentally drop it and spend thirty minutes chasing the nut. Overall I like the set very much and am happy I finally pulled the trigger, Just know they aren't perfect

Ever since purchasing my first Wera product I have been hooked and these are no exception. These wrenches are the nicest I have ever owned and every detail included by Wera makes these exceptional. I cannot recommend strongly enough.

Ich arbeite viel an alten amerikanischen Motorrädern, hierbei ist das Werkzeug sehr gut einsetzbar, da durch die Form der Maulschlüssel auch Muttern gedreht werden können, die schon beschädigt sind. Der Halt auf der Mutter oder Schraube ist sehr gut.

Love this wrench set! Very good quality. I highly recommend!

100% okay

Très bon choix

Awesome spanner set - thought they were a gimmick at first but after using them for a week they've proved more than useful on many occasions.
