I got an email from KC tools earlier about this deal. I would order from them. Cheaper shipping and no tax unless you live in KS.
I have one of these drivers and they're excellent.
If you get 2 on Amazon, it was free shipping.
How do these feel to use? I love anything Wiha I have tried but in general these multi tools with bits stored on top rattle and feel cheap. Is that the case here or is it a better tool? It would certainly save space in my toolbox I bring to studios.
It does not feel cheap and does not rattle. Very solid feeling.

Thanks mtdoc, I'll go ahead and order one.

is this a special US offer or something?
This item does not ship to Oslo, Norway. Please check other sellers who may ship internationally.
KCtoolco is out of stock on all 3.
Nice deal, but it's a little frustrating that none of these really have the combination of bits I would like. Too bad they don't sell the empty handles.

P.S. If you repair test equipment, you might also want to get the Wiha 35393 mini hex key set, which is on sale for $3.48
P.P.S. It looks like the Wiha/Amazon free shipping threshold is $25
Yes, KC is out, but when you put it into cart, they say they will ship sometime in July, something like July 5 or 6.
it's a little frustrating that none of these really have the combination of bits I would like.
77791 + 77792 = At least one of every bit.
77790 + 77792 = At least one of everything but T6/T7
Looks like I need to buy two...
P.S. 77791 + 77792 from Wiha through Amazon = $39.98, no shipping and looks like no tax (to NC at least)

Same here. Ordered two, 39.98, free shipping, no tax. Arrived today.
Small review.
The handle is plastic-y.
I was using it for a hour on Friday working inside electrical enclosure on an electrical panel. I used 3mm slotted bit on the screws of the terminal blocks and I already see a little bit of deformation. I might have overdid the tightening. But yeah, I am now planning of saving some pennies for replacement bit since I am going to use that bit a lot.
And last thing. Since the panel was vertical and facing me, I had to hold the tool horizontally when I was working with the screws. After a little while the handle started feeling a little heavy since I now had to support the tool while working. I am definitely removing some of the bits, I never use torx at work and the model I bought has the fewest number of them (the reason I chose that model in the first place), so they got to go!
Summer 2017 Promo catalog was in the box. It has same tools on "sale" for 35.98 And they also list 6 packs for 215.88 (they list regular price of 335.88)!
In conclusion. 20 USD good price. 35.98 gets a no. Regular 55.98 gets a Hell NO.
This deal is back from KC Tools. I bought a Wiha Ultra Driver about a year ago and it has become my primary screwdriver. I will probably buy a couple more now, one to give to my son and another to have on hand in a "different location". I got the Tradesman version and later bought the Technicians Ultra and Industrial Ultra bit sets. So far I have not used any of the Technicians or Industrial bits, but there is probably some optimal selection of bits for me.
KC Tools has free shipping for orders over $50.
In addition to their sale prices, I used the coupon code TOOLGUYD4LIFE last night and got an additional 10% off.
Nice deal, but it's a little frustrating that none of these really have the combination of bits I would like. Too bad they don't sell the empty handles.
get another tool set, and swap bits as required... like for example my set that iirc bought for somewhere $10++...
Yeah, that 10 usd bought you a shiny finish that will peal right off when you try to use it in industrial environment where some screws were tightened so much that cheap bits like that will just get twisted. I actually broke one of the Wiha sloted bit (3 mm I think) because the guy before me tightened terminal screw to hell and then some, and I had to rework some terminals a week later because engineer made some changes.
I also use cheap Husky small/fine screwdrivers, 6 or 7 usd for a set of 6 (3 slotted, 3 philips), they work great on the din rail terminals, but the shiny finish is plated and tips are not hardened, after a week the finish start to flake off and tips get twisted if you try to screw terminals super tight.
That 10 usd kit is good for cell phone and home repair stuff. At a factory it will work ok, but only ok. You end up finding out that there is some specific tasks that you do all the time and you just buy specific tool for that task because it will do the job faster and easier.
Vey nice, good price, but...I live in Italy.
Amazon demands for delivery more than the price. Too much.. (about 45 Euros Total)
The Wiha European site has this item listed at about 70 Euros (!!!!!) plus VAT plus delivery. I did not want to see the total.
I'll look for something similar locally.
Best regards
