Wiha has launched GoStack, which they describe as a revolutionary storage system.
Wiha GoStack was designed to be “stronger. smarter. built to last.”
It looks GoStack is a limited line of connectable accessory cases that are bundled with the same Wiha Terminator Blue screwdriver bits and power tool accessories already sold at Lowe’s.

Wiha says that their new accessory sets will also be sold at Lowe’s.
Features include computer-controlled heat treatment (as if this wasn’t the de facto standard for modern screwdriver bits), a magnetic bit holder, and impact-rated design for use with impact power drills.
As shown, GoStack cases latch together.
There’s a “no hassle guarantee,” where Wiha says they will repair or replace your purchase within 12 months for any reason. However, under the fine print exclusions:
Wiha Tools has the right to exclude Bits, Tweezers, and Ceramic Screwdrivers. These products are either consumable or worn easily.
So far, there are 3 bit sets, each priced at $29.98 at the time of this posting.

- 24pc (longer bits) – Buy it at Lowe’s
- 24pc (bits with nut drivers) – Buy it at Lowe’s
- 36pc (insert and power bits) – Buy it at Lowe’s
Frankly, I don’t see what’s “revolutionary” about another proprietary stacking bit storage case.
These look to be the same bits that Wiha has been selling at Lowe’s stores, but packaged in the new style of case.
But just look how happy that magnetic bit holder is.
Maybe there’s something I’m missing. Here’s the launch video:

I agree, there’s no revolution underway, but the cases look fine though.

The only way any plastic case is ‘built to last’ is eternity in landfill. And I don’t see anything ‘revolutionary’ here either.

Well there is no stacking case system that comes made to hole wila bits. Right? Reminds me of Bosch some.
While I don’t right off find issue with it I’m not drawn towards having to have them. Would love a basic case that I could fill myself

I think the cases latching together is what’s supposed to be “revolutionary”. Might be a first for bit cases of this size?
Looks like they’ll work with any bits which is a plus. I’ve got a small Wiha bit set that’ll only work with the blue bits….
They do look a bit like the Bosch cases and also appear to be customizable like the Bosch ones. Not a bad thing.

“These products are either consumable or worn easily.” Aren’t we looking for drill bits that DON’T wear easily?

I think they a referring to screwdriver bits, not drill bits(drills).

Is it me of those images look like they took it right off the 3D printer?

The only thing I see that could remotely resemble 3D printed is the last image, but what looks like a layer line on the gray part at the bottom could just be the parting line.
The first few images with the gray inserts show sink marks though, which you’ll only get with injection molding. Plus you’re going to be hard pressed to get 3D prints that optically clear.
