Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If you want to be really fancy, pb Swiss. I like the wiha and Milwaukee ones fine though.
- Wiha and Wera make seriously awesome Allen keys.
- Wiha or wera I work on pocket knives and multi tools a lot. Almost all t5-t10. Those are the only brands I've found that don't twist, break, or round out quickly.
- Otherwise its bits, mix of wiha and wera, both fine. I use the wiha standard magnetic bit holders though, they are thinner walled which makes a difference for some screw wells I work in.
- Wera/wiha. I work in torx all day. Thats all I use for torx brands.
Cons
- I used to think the same about him, that’s until he blatantly started pushing stuff he gets sent for free, such as velocity and Wiha stuff.
- They sell one here similar to Knipex, but it’s from the brand Wiha. I don’t know if it’s a Knipex company, but their tools are extremely expensive. I’ve never seen anyone here using them.
- Wiha has a lot, they're kind of hard to sift though though

For screwdrivers, Wiha and Wera and Vessel are very good and not hugely expensive.
for electrical work wiha also has some really good options (I for example prefer their cable shears over the knipex ones I've tried.
Wiha > Makita > Bosch in my experience.
If you are looking for screwdriver and pliers like knipex and wiha, the big box store bauhaus would be a good option and the best price.
Wera, Wiha, and Williams make nice screwdrivers
