74984 Standard Screwdriver Bit Set with Mini Ratchet, 32 Piece | Phillips, slotted, square, torx, metric and SAE hex bits; universal drive; heat-treated tips; metal case

Review: The Wiha 74984 is one of those tools that may look simple at first glance, but after using it, you quickly realize how well-designed and useful it actually is. The first thing that stands out is the exceptional build quality. Wiha has a reputation for manufacturing premium tools, and this product is no exception. The materials, machining, and overall fit and finish are outstanding. It feels like a professional-grade tool despite its compact size. Another major advantage is its excellent compatibility. It works seamlessly with a wide variety of bits and accessories, making it an incredibly versatile addition to any toolbox. Whether you're working on electronics, household repairs, mechanical projects, or general maintenance tasks, it integrates easily into existing tool collections. Portability is where this tool really shines. It's small, lightweight, and easy to carry, making it ideal for keeping in a toolbox, backpack, vehicle, or even a drawer at home. Despite its compact dimensions, it delivers the functionality you need without taking up valuable space. I also think the price is quite reasonable considering the quality you're getting. There are certainly cheaper alternatives available, but few can match the precision, durability, and overall user experience that Wiha provides. What I appreciate most is that it's the type of tool you end up reaching for far more often than expected. It's practical, reliable, and useful in countless situations. Final Verdict: The Wiha 74984 is a high-quality, highly portable, and extremely versatile tool that deserves a place in virtually every toolkit. Whether you're a professional technician or a DIY hobbyist, it's one of those purchases that quickly proves its value. Would I buy it again? Without hesitation. In fact, I would consider it an essential tool for anyone who enjoys DIY projects, repairs, or simply appreciates having the right tool available when needed.

Background: I have a Wera Tool-Check Plus, which is too big for me to put in my pockets for EDC with other items. I also, rarely use sockets to justify to carry extra weight. I wanted a good EDC screwdriver and wrench system with commonly used heads, plus easy to carry on a commercial plane. It was competition between this and Wera's https://a.co/d/c7Aijwi, with 10 bit set. This one won due to Wiha's quality and more heads at a price lower than the Wera's, despite of me being a "Wera-hore" as my significant other calls me. I added my Wera 813R ESD as the screwdriver for the EDC to supplement this kit. Pros: 1. Very compact. Measures about 5 inches long and about 1.5 inches thick. It easily fits my pants (both jeans and cargo) or shorts right pocket along with the 813R screwdriver and Knipex Cobra 6-inch pliers, Leatherman Squirt PS4 multitool and Skeletool knife. The pocket does not look overly filled nor do the tools stick to my hips like a colony of leeches. 2. Good quality. This tool is robust and well made. Based on my experience, I believe Wera has better quality, finish, packaging and presentation, and durability at a higher price, compared to Wiha. Whether that "value" is better, only you can answer that. 3. Versatility. This has a good assortment of bits, a nice extension piece, and a very good ratchet. It basically satisfies my needs while being outdoors, riding my bike, or performing work around the house. Coupled with the screwdriver, it gives me additional flexibility and capability. 4. Workability. You can add a good amount of force and torque to move some of the tight pesky screws without any issues. The extension really helps with getting that additional driving force. Being small, it can work around tight spaces and unreachable areas. Cons: 1. Weight. This is heavy. It does lug around some. I did not measure the actual weight, but it does seem to pull down on pockets which do not have additional lining reinforcements. 2. Packaging. As mentioned earlier, Wiha saves costs with packaging in ho-hum ways. This can lead to packages getting damaged (see the last picture). It was the first one I ordered, which was missing the most important tool - the ratchet. Amazon's handling has quality issues. Had to return it. The second unit shows decent packaging, but not nearly as good as Wera has beautiful boxes for its units. 3. The ratchet direction switch is easy to move with your thumb on it with little or no pressure, without noticing it. I had multiple times, only to realize why the screw wasn't tightening. This can be a major flaw if you are working on a critical work. The Wera's direction switch is much smaller and requires more pressure, that you cannot accidentally bump it. Comparison: For comparison, I have shown the Wera's ratchet and extension with Wiha's. While Wera's ratchet is similar, the quality and feel of it feels better. The extension for Wera is stubbier and smaller. The unhooking mechanism feels better than Wiha's. Again, for the price and usage, it was not a concern to justify paying higher. Bottomline: This is a good EDC set for taking around with good versatility and quality at a very good price (<$30). I hope to keep it for a long time unless my priorities change or I lose it. I will give it a 4.7/5.0.

I work in Industrial Maintenance and these have saved me countless hours of going back and forth to my tool box. It's nice to have the standard and metric bits readily available in a nice compact box. Pros: Convenience of multiple bits you can use with other 1/4" slotted tools (impact, screw driver, ect). Compact, easily carried in a pocket. Durable and well made. Cons: There is a learning curve to keep the ratchet from switching directions. Proper thumb and/or side of index finger placement is key. The latch to keep the box closed is just spot welded and broke off after 9 days of use. The insert to hold everything is also unsecured, I suggest pulling it out and putting some super glue on the bottom of the box so when you drop the box most bits will stay in place. Overall I use these heavily and definitely recommend them. I've had many positive comments from people asking where to get them.

From the moment I held the case, I could tell this is a super premium, high quality product. The metal case gives it an old school feel, like you found one of your dad's old tools. Once you open it, you're greeted with a very well packaged ratchet and bits. Everything fits snug in it's place, but is not a challenge to remove. The magnetic retention in the ratchet is wonderful, and feels sufficiently strong to hold the bits, but not too hard that it's difficult to remove them. The tooth count on the ratchet may not be the highest, and it may not have the smoothest action, but it still feels great in the hand. I have a few similar sets like this from Gearwrench and Bosch, and I really love the fit and finish of this one compared to the others. This may not have as many bits or little features as some of those, but they were able to fit a lot of functionality into a small and high quality package. And for the price, it's hard to beat! I would say a great buy if you're looking for a nice, small bit set for a backpack, tool bag, to leave in your car, or even just to play with at your desk!

I love this set. It's extremely high quality in look, feel, and function. It's not cheap junk and the handle has a perfect heft that makes it feel substantial, even thought it's small in size. The case is solid and well organized and the extension comes in handy more than I expected. The set has a very good mix of common and less common bits to cover most basic needs you'll encounter. I keep this set in a desk at my work, where I technically shouldn't ever need hand tools - except for the daily situations that pop up where I do. Such as: - a screw pops out of a co-worker's glasses? Boom, I can fix that. - loose fastener in a shelf, cubicle, fixture, etc? I got it. - need to take apart that old classic wall clock and tape a printout of your co-worker's face onto the clockface as a silly prank? I gotcha covered. Buy it. Use it. Be a workplace hero.

I picked up the Wiha 32 Piece GoBox Bit Set with the mini ratchet, and overall, I’m really happy with it. It’s small, well put together, and the bits seem tough and reliable. What I like: Super Compact: The whole set fits in a little metal box, so it’s easy to throw in a bag or toolbox. Great for quick fixes or tight spots. Lots of Bits: It comes with 32 different bits—Phillips, flathead, Torx, hex, and more. Pretty much everything you’d need for small jobs. Feels Durable: The ratchet and bits feel solid, not cheap or flimsy. What I don’t love: Tiny Ratchet: The ratchet itself is really small. If you’ve got big hands like me, it might feel awkward to use. It’s fine for light work, but don’t expect to crank down hard with it. A Bit Pricey: For the size, it’s not the cheapest set out there. But the quality helps make up for that. Bottom Line: This is a great little set for quick jobs or working in tight spaces. If your hands are on the larger side or you need something with more grip power, you might want to look at a bigger ratchet. Still, it’s well-made and super handy to have around.

One MAJOR problem that I'll discuss at the end of my review. However, this is a fantastic set with just the right mix of bits. Durable, and very useful. I'm limited on what I can carry from machine to machine at my work. Having this handy set covers most of my needs. Now for the ONE glaring issue. The directional lever is backwards. When you tighten something, the lever is flipped in a direction against the direction you're moving. Thus, many, many times it gets 'switched' mid ratchet movement, which causes you to have to stop and switch it to the correct direction. As a result, I'm now shopping for a replacement mini ratchet, with no bits. (The bits are great!) I also love the bit extension as it has a retention feature that helps prevent bits from falling out.

My GoBox just arrived and two things jumped out at me that you need to know. First, even though I knew it was tiny, when I first saw the ratchet I was still surprised at how small it was. Having said that, it does fit nicely in the palm of your hand and is very easy to use. The thumb wheel works very nicely also. Good positive and easy to maneuver direction switch too. Second, and more importantly, I put my first bit in the extended bit holder and I could not get the darn thing out! I'm like, are you kidding me?! I ended up getting out my little mini Knipex Cobra pliers to remove it. The magnet in the bit holder is super strong! I was all set to return it when I figured out the trick. As I was pushing and pulling on the bit, I noticed some downward spring action. So what the deal is, there is a knurled section on the bit holder that you simply pull down on and it releases the bit, OMG! Nowhere in the instructions or on the Amazon product page does it mention that. Since I've never had a bit holder with that feature it never occurred to me, but I did eventually figure it out LOL! So after all the above, I absolutely love this little GoBox from Wiha. My only suggestion, at least for my needs, would be to swap out the T30 for a T6. I often need the T6 when working on knives, and for anything big enough for a T30 I'll be using regular full-size tools. Lastly, you need to know that this tool is not made in Germany. It is only designed in Germany, but made in Vietnam. Not an issue just a point of interest.

Compact tool kit that quickly earned a permanent place in my tool bag. The overall build quality is great. The bits feel solid and fit cleanly without sloppy play you sometimes get from cheaper sets. Despite its small size, it has a smooth mechanism and provides just enough leverage for tight spaces where a normal screwdriver simply won’t fit. It’s especially useful for assembling furniture or quick adjustments around the house. The GoBox case is also well designed. It’s compact, sturdy, and keeps everything organized so bits don’t fall out or get mixed up. The selection of bits covers most common needs, making it a versatile kit for such a small package. Overall, this set strikes a great balance between portability, quality, and functionality.

Brilliant little set. Feels high quality. I’m surprised no one mentioned the standout feature is the slimline magnetic extension. I’ve used countless slimline extensions and this is the first time I have seen one that has a locking collar. The locking collar prevents the bit from coming off - a common issue with these slim extensions when you try to remove the screw and the bit comes out of the extension

in my bmw soft close door the only way to reach some bolts was using this small rachet my only problem with it is the small magnet has fall down and i have fixed it.

Excelente produto. Um pouco pequeno, mas é resistente e atende minhas necessidades.

Besser als erwartet 👍 Ideal für kleine Reparaturen und ein für meine Radtouren gar nicht mehr weg zu denken 🙂🌻 Top.
