During a routine check of my Amazon shopping cart for price drops, I saw an alert that this Wera 25pc Kraftform Micro screwdriver set has dropped in price.
And, it has! $112.47 with free shipping. When Ben V posted about this Wera Micro screwdriver set last year, it was priced at $137, or $123 after coupon at KC Tool.

There’s a bold red “12% off” label and “lowest price in 30 days” message.
But… I waited too long to post about it. Checking now (I took a break for lunch), the Wera precision screwdriver set went from Amazon having 14 in stock at $112.47, to 13 in stock and with a higher price of $127.88.
Well, that’s not good.
But wait – our friends at KC Tool have the same set as their Tool of the Day, and it’s on sale for $110.
With the KC Tool deal, you save a couple of dollars compared to Amazon’s price, and with free ground shipping. I’ll include the Amazon link below, in case they lower the price again, but it seems like the KC Tool deal is hands-down the better pricing.
You could potentially spend a little less if you order from Amazon UK or DE, but then you have international shipping fees and potential delays to deal with.
Deal Price: $110 via KC Tool
The sale is only valid 10/6/2020, unless supplies sell out sooner. Sorry, but our KC Tool coupon code won’t work on this item, but it will work on other items.

I’ve found KCTool good to deal with – and they may not apply sales tax depending on your shipping address.
Chads Toolbox – another source for Wera and other German brands will sometimes price match – but overall my shopping experience with KCTool has been a bit better over the years.
Jim Felt says
fred. I used Chad’s before I knew of KCTool and frankly “day and night”. KCT all the way.
And, Stuart, now we’re even today. You sprung for $100 earlier and now you’ve got me into $110…
Phew.

KCTool is overpriced
Jp says
I seek serious feedback. I know not everyone here is made of money. I am certainly not. Why pay for this when something which is not as pretty but works well could be purchased at a fraction of the price. I use $10 sets, have for years. Never had one break, strip a screw, or anything. I am sure these are of the finest materials. But these are low torque applications…..
Stuart says
This is an upgrade for users who know they need something better and want a larger set.
User comfort, fastener fitment, tool strength and durability – there are a lot of little differences that make better quality precision screwdrivers worth buying.
Crucial fasteners, soft fasteners, repetitive work, more complex multi-fastener assemblies – better screwdrivers were specially designed to ease user frustrations and provide a superior experience.
But no, not everyone needs that.
This set would be not be as cost-effective for infrequent users as it would be for more regular and demanding users.
Consider hex keys. I can very quickly tell the difference when using cheap hex keys, or the kind that come for free with IKEA and other brands’ knock-down furniture, compared to my better hex keys.
With precision screwdrivers like this, I’d recommend users try a smaller set or individual driver or two to see if they actually need or like them.
Does that make sense?
John Patel says
Kind of. I do a lot of small stuff, HDDs/rails, computer CD drive rails, cases, toy battery compartments so I am not a marginal user. But I guess maybe I don’t use them for a long time, and that is what would make me pay up. Frequent 30 second uses are my scenario which is probably why I wouldn’t consider this caliber of tool. But they sure look nice. Thanks for the reply.
Stuart says
A lot of that stuff might just need a single technician-style 4-in-1 screwdriver .
Think SSD drive cage screws as opposed to optical drive screws.
I have good quality 2.5 mm hex screwdrivers but needed to buy a full-size Wera due to the small drivers being fatiguing.
You don’t know what you need or want until frustrations or changing applications make it clear.
The ultimate goal is for tools to be an visible means to an end, right? If your cheaper screwdrivers do that for you, there’s no need to upgrade if you don’t want to. Right?
One of the things I like to do is make different options known. This post was more aimed at readers who have had a larger Wera set on their wishlists, and so I failed to take into account the question about why someone might want a set of 25 of these screwdrivers. I hope I cleared things a little bit, although I know I was inevitably vague.
It’s like high-end sneakers or a chef knife – not everyone will benefit from them equally.
TheTool says
SSD drive cages are Phillips #1 or Phillips #2 if you’ve ever worked with them. For example M3 x5 which is a Phillips #2.
Stuart says
SSD drive cages being Phillips #2? No way!
SSDs accept M3 screws, right? Phillips #1 should be the recommended size, but #0 might work better depending on the fastener.
You can add a Wera Phillips #1 screwdriver to any set for under $5. Or a longer ESD version for a little more.
TheTool says
It doesn’t even come with a Phillips #1. How are you calling this set a good deal? You realize how common a Phillips #1 is used even in precision work?
TheTool says
Jp you’ll find people trying to make you spend way more money than what you really need to. For a set that costs this much to have a missing Phillips #1 , Torx 9 and other sizes is a joke.
ToolGuyDan says
Dear Wera:
Put size markings on the top, too, and I’ll buy the whole damn set faster than you can say “Mikroschraubendreher”.
Sincerely,
Me

I bought the tekton set to fix a few things and I’m quite happy with it. I don’t use the driver handle all the time but there is nothing wrong with it.
If I did electronic repair every day or needed something esoteric in size I’d have to consider this kit. But I would also look at the Ifixit kit too.
TheTool says
The Tekton sets or even the Xiaomi Wiha 24 piece are way more reasonable.
