Review: Beats the Wiha and Wera at 1/4 Cost IMHO - I bought Wiha ratchet set, and the Alltrade / Powerbuilt 940478 for $11 and was going to see which I preferred. Previously I bought the Wera and was disappointed with it and returned it. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but I feel like this comes out in top considering price, and if you are ok without having a fancy brand on it. It gets bumped up to the next level if you manage to epoxy or glue a 4mm neodymium magnet inside the bit holder. My primary complaint with this unit is that the ergonomics aren’t great for me, it’s a bit awkward to hold in the hand- although this may not be the case for you as it always boils down to personal preference. The Wiha extras (bit, case, extension) I didn’t really need but enjoyed having and honestly felt like the best part of what Wiha offered here. So while I’m going to knock the ratchet a bit here, it was still a good deal considering the included bits and case and the Wiha ratchet isn’t necessarily bad- just not up to the standards I’d expect for the premium. Here’s a quick breakdown: - Both ratchets are made in Taiwan - Both have 72 Teeth - Alltrade has a 1/4” ratchet on the other end while the Wiha simply has an exposed piece of gearing - the Alltrade has a larger head than the Wiha, but I don’t see it as too preventative for tight spaces for my needs. It won’t fit into the tightest of spaces like the Wiha can however. - the bit is not as firm in the Alltrade as the Wiha, but the difference is very minor - The Alltrade ratcheting mechanism seems superior to the Wiha. The Wiha is louder and more clanky. The Alltrade mechanism can be larger by virtue of its larger head. The Wiha is very small and fine. -The bit retention in the Wiha is magnetic while the retention in the Alltrade is spring retention. - the Alltrade finish is CRV, chrome appearance. I believe the Wiha is similar or CrMo, but a matte appearance. - Powerbuilt is easier to access the internals and perhaps repair if necessary. All in all I wish I could take the best qualities of each and smush them together, but I can’t. The Wiha bits are excellent and the extension has both spring and magnetic retention for the best hold. The box is also a great addition. If you need those two things I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Wiha. Honestly, however the quality of the ratchet I feel is inferior to the Alltrade which I was not expecting. Also it’s far easier to accidentally flip the switch on the Wiha than it is on the Alltrade which is a bit irritation for me, especially for such a tiny ratchet where your hands are so close to the head. In my view, that’s just not thinking. I can see myself reaching for the Alltrade ratchet while using the Wiha bits. Unfortunately the Alltrade doesn’t fit in the Wiha case. Wiha however does win in ergonomics and appearance and would be the superior choice for very tight clearances. At the end of the day you have to decide what’s important to you, and make your choice accordingly. There’s a lot to like about the Wiha kit however at the end of the day it’s a ratchet set, so if the ratchet isn’t really well thought out, a breeze to use, ratchet smooth as butter, bits fit snug as a bug, etc. I just see all the good reviews as products of the Wiha/ Wera hype machine rather than an appraisal of their actual performance in the field compared to more reasonably priced options. As I said before I was similarly let down by the Wera bit ratchet (as well as their ratcheting screwdriver)... I’m not sure how to chalk up the vast difference between my experiences with these manufacturers and their apparent cult following on the web. To me the Alltrade feels more like a Williams or Snap-on or Gedore and the Wera feels like a cheap Taiwanese ratchet with a nice German bit set and a cute but not great box. PS- I managed to glue a 4mm neodymium magnet inside the Powerbuilt and the bit hold is that much better. Bit hold is on par with the Wiha now. These are plentiful on eBay and probably at your local big box store. I first placed the magnet carefully on the backside of a bit, then dabbed very carefully a dot of Gorilla super glue. I then inserted the bit carefully into the bit ratchet, and left the bit facing up (prevent dripping) overnight. After a few days it’s holding well and is really taking my enjoyment of this Alltrade ratchet to a new level. Feels about as good as it’s going to get without springing for a Matco MR4C and a Gedore or Snap on 1/4” nut to 1/4” hex.
Review: great rachet - nice size and super smooth rachet with no back drag the only complaint is the weight. It should be lighter for small work

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great rachet
*by B***T on November 9, 2025*

nice size and super smooth rachet with no back drag the only complaint is the weight. It should be lighter for small work

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These things are tiny!
*by F***K on June 30, 2023*

I rarely have the need for a ratchet this small but this set will come in very handy when I do. They are really tiny. Fits in the palm of my hand. The build quality seems very good and the action operates very smoothly. In my applications it's unlikely these tools will see very severe service so I'm sure they will be fine. Especially the 1/4" ratchet which I only use in light duty situations. I don't know why I waited so long to get these. Great price.
