A full toolkit usually means a bulky case filled with screwdrivers, sockets and loose bits. The Wera Tool-Check PLUS 2 takes a different approach. It squeezes 39 pieces into a compact organizer that you can carry in one hand.
The updated version improves on Wera’s popular Tool-Check design. A sliding release mechanism makes the case easier to open, while bright green locking components secure the tools during transport. The result is a portable toolkit that feels more like a carefully engineered gadget.
A Tiny Ratchet With Serious Capability
At its heart is Wera’s Zyklop Mini, a miniature ratchet designed for working in tight spaces. Its 60-tooth mechanism needs just a 6° return angle, making it useful where a conventional ratchet can’t swing freely.
Despite its small size, Wera says the solid-steel ratchet can handle torque exceeding 65Nm (48 lb-ft). A thumbwheel helps turn screws quickly, while a reversing lever changes direction without removing the tool.
The set also includes a compact screwdriver handle, seven sockets and a Rapidaptor bit holder. The latter allows quick, one-handed bit changes without fumbling with a separate release mechanism.
Wera’s Take it Easy color-coding system makes identifying the right bit or socket straightforward. Different colors and size markings help you find what you need without checking every piece individually.
There’s also a satisfying practicality to the organizer itself. Each component has its own place, and the locking system keeps everything secure when you’re on the move.
The Tool-Check PLUS 2 won’t replace a full workshop, particularly for jobs requiring larger tools. But for furniture assembly, household repairs and keeping a compact toolkit in the car, it’s a compelling alternative to carrying several separate tools.
For anyone who appreciates clever mechanical design, Wera has turned an ordinary collection of tools into something surprisingly appealing.
