content: Didn't bite cause I don't do enough high voltage stuff to really need insulated driverss(don't have prime anyways), but I got a couple sets of Wiha screwdrivers a few years back and a ratcheting driver set and I did not realize how much difference it would make until I used them. Was used to working with moderately cheap stuff and old school Craftsman stuff and the Wiha drivers fit tighter (less stripping of the bolt), are more durable, and still barely even show any wear of any sort.I'm sure they're not the only ones making tools of this caliber, but I would recommend them to someone who's on the fence.

content: Quote from: colorado.rob on July 25, 2019, 02:12:35 amInteresting... at first look I wouldn't think it's particularly comfortable to hold, with that 'open' handle.On the other side, considering that probably most of the hand grip comes from the rear palm on the back of the tool and from thumb+index that are likely holding that top screwdriver 'crown', there must be some German genius in designing that thing.

content: I stumbled across some curiously reduced price Wiha tool kits available at Arrow in very limited quantities. Maybe they are blowing out inventory that has been in their warehouse too long. Unless the dealer markup on these items is larger than I imagine, they might be selling these at a loss just to eliminate inventory, or for tax write-off purposes.I ordered several tool kits that were almost exactly 1/7 or 1/6 of the current list price for them athttps://www.wihatools.comIf you order at least $50 you also get free overnight FedEx shipping in the US.Before you look, the 75992 and 75995 Micro Bit sets were available for $7.35 and $8.24, and the 92189, 92190, and 92191 50 piece Precision Driver sets were available for $43.97, $39.93, and $40.78 before they were all sold. I got some of those while they were still available.Below are some of the reduced price kits (and their current list price) that might be of interest to people here that I see still left in very limited quantities. There are other reduced price kits still available there too. I imagine when these are all sold there won't be any more at these prices.If you're reading this a few days after it was posted most of these might already be gone.The list below are now all gone.https://www.arrow.com/en/products/26099/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Slotted Screwdrivers 8 Piece Set in Canvas PouchIncludes 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0mm$6.10 ($42.48)In Stock: 5 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26197/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Slotted & Phillips Screwdriver 7 Piece Set Includes:Phillips #00, 0, 1 Slotted 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0mm$8.82 ($30.70)In Stock: 7 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26591/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Inch Nut Driver 8 Piece Set Includes:3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4"$6.94 ($50.18)In Stock: 7 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26592/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Metric Nut Driver Set, 7 Piece.Includes 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0mm.$5.98 ($45.06)In Stock: 1 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26598/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Metric Nut Driver 8 Piece Set in Canvas PouchIncludes 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0mm.$7.90 ($56.34)In Stock: 3 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26794/wiha-tools-usaPrecision Pentalobe Screwdriver SetPL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, PL6 x 40mm, 120mm OAL 6 Pieces$7.88 ($54.86)In Stock: 5 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/26985/wiha-tools-usaSystem 4 ESD Safe Drive-Loc Handle &Slotted 1.5+3.0, 2.0+3.5, 2.5+4.0 andPhillips #000+00, #00+1 andTorx® T1+T2, T3+T4, T5+T6, T6+T8, T7+T9, T10+T15 Interchangeable Blades.12 Piece Set In Canvas Pouch$18.76 ($130.74)In Stock: 5 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/28199/wiha-tools-usaDrive-Loc VI 10 Piece Interchangeable SetTorx® T6+T8, T7+T9, T10+T15, T20+T25,Slotted 4.0, 6.0,Phillips #1 #2,Hex 3/32+7/64, 1/8+9/64, 5/32+3/16 &Cushion Grip Blade Lock Handle In Canvas Pouch$15.09 ($105.12)In Stock: 4 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/28191/wiha-tools-usaDrive-Loc VI 33 Piece Interchangeable Set in Molded TraySlotted, Phillips, Security Torx, Hex and Nut Driver Bladeswith MicroFinish Non Slip Grip and SoftFinish handles in Molded Tray.$51.00 ($338.20)In Stock: 2 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/36494/wiha-tools-usaT-handle TORX Set in Metal StandT9, T10, T15, T20, T25, T30, T35 and T40$13.06 ($91.02)In Stock: 1 partsNo Stock Availablehttps://www.arrow.com/en/products/32198/wiha-tools-usaInsulated SlimLine 11 Pc.

content: I also managed to get a few items. Really good prices. Big thanks to @gslick!Several of items that I put in my basket simply dissapered when I was doing check out.Some of those are the ones I wanted most. I thought once an item is in the basket it should be reserved at least for some time, say an hour.

content: I think that’s just Arrow’s bad website. If you open 2 tabs with products A and B, then you go to tab A, add A to cart, it works. Then go to tab B and add B to cart, your cart will only have B (and not A) in it (because that tab started with an empty cart). It’s infuriating!I also don’t think that reserving product makes much sense, but rather things can be sold first check out gets it, especially for clearance items. They want to turn old, slow/non moving inventory into cash and warehouse space. First customer to commit gets it seems reasonable to me. It would be bad to show shopper 2 an “out of stock” message because shopper 1 has it in their cart and ends up with neither buying it and Arrow keeps carrying it as dead stock.

content: Quote from: sokoloff on December 25, 2019, 09:52:23 pmMy opinion is exactly oposite: Whoever puts an item first in the basket should have it reserved - not forever but for some reasonable amout of time, say half an hour. Same thing like in a physical store, if I put an item in my basket it is reserved for the time I am in the store. I can change mind mind later and put it back on the shelf. No one will grab an item from my basket because they will check out before me and there is a possibility I might change my mind. If the item is really hot it will sell quickly even if the original buyer later changes his mind.In the Arrow's sale there were several Wiha items for <$10. I had to buy at least 6 to reach the free shipping, not that I mind buying them but it takes some time to go through items - they have a lot of Wiha items (more than 1000) but only few tens on sale. I didn't spent more than 10 minutes looking when I noticed items start disappearing from the basket. I wanted to buy some other stuff like replacement batteries for HP 3478A but I didn't have time to look anymore.

content: But such a system can be easily abused, either by an individual or with botting, and because their typical sales model has a fair amount of inventory on hand and relatively infrequent purchases of the same item, they probably don't run into such a conflict that often.I think this is very common practice for online stores, and I'm not sure it matches a brick and mortar where people don't just add things to their cart they don't intend to checkout with, whereas people will use online carts for keeping of track of what they're interested in or waiting for sales and things sometimes.I do think their cart thing is a little messed up, though, I ran into the same issue where buying an item in a tab, then buying another in a different tab results in the first one being lost. Also had an issue where with like 15 items in the cart, I added another and everything except for the latest item was missing for some unexplained reason.... more interesting, I was able to add every one of them back to the cart, so it wasn't even that something in the cart had gone out of stock.Surprised with the cancellations, though, do you think they had less stock than the inventory system thought? Were they particularly large orders with a lot of multiples of a single item (maybe appearing like a reseller?)

content: My one cancellation was an item directly linked above up thread. Everything else I got multiples of and my cart looks indistinguishable from a reseller order. (Many items, all reduced/clearance, typically multiples per line, often buying the entire stock they had.)So, I think they had one fewer than they thought when I added the 2 to my cart. Whether they sold one while I was shopping or just had a miscount in the warehouse, I don’t know.

Wouldn’t selling them for half off (instead of 5/6ths off) generate more cash in the short term and probably still clear the warehouse space inside of a year?(While causing less of a mad rush for the randomly hidden bargains on the website...)

content: Quote from: sokoloff on December 26, 2019, 04:19:10 pmMaybe there were earlier reductions for a while on some of these items and then later after they didn't get cleared out they were reduced further.The interesting part is the free FedEx overnight shipping if your order is at least $50. They must have a great corporate discount rate on shipping. Without checking I imagine the normal retail rate for overnight shipping on good sized box with a few pounds of tools might be close to $50.Here is a set I didn't bother listing because it is less exciting of a deal at around 1/3.5 of list price instead of 1/7 of list price.

The double ups will do well for father's Day.All up I can blame this thread for $160 + taxes!...and they just cancelled the 20 piece screwdriver set purchase

content: The day after the disappointment of item cancellations, I had another look and realised a lot of the individual torx drivers I was after were still available singly for a buck or so each - a bit of a pain but I got most of what was in the set for a similar cost. Probably a few left still after my order if anyone else is interested.I then had to try and find other stuff to pad the cart to $50 for free shipping, and lo and behold a bunch of SiC diodes (mostly from "Rectron", but some ON Semi stuff too) are also heavily reduced. I now have a grab bag of a few dozen diodes (of various ratings) for the cost of the half dozen I actually needed for a project.

content: Bought 2 rounds of Wiha, and the 3rd was for their components. I didn't consider Arrow last time and for components I always headed for Mouser, Digikey, E14 and RS. As a non US residentr, Arrow pricing is better than Digikey and Mouser (maybe they are stocking tarrif affected parts outside US)

content: Personally I think their ordering and stock control system is messed up. A particular item was in stock @ $60 with only 1 available so I placed several consecutive orders for it. That can’t make any sense.These were orders paid for by PayPal, it’s not like Arrow are waiting for confirmation of a wire transfer or anything.If I place an order with Farnell or RS I see the stock decrease in real time. That’s how it should work surely?

content: Quote from: TopLoser on December 29, 2019, 01:28:58 amWhen I placed my first few orders for these limited stock items the stock remaining numbers may not have updated in real time as soon as the order was placed, but I don't remember there being too much of a delay if I went and refreshed the page for each item after placing the order. When I bought the last remaining items in stock it wasn't long before their status changed to No Stock Available. I got every item that I ordered the first few times.For the last order I placed on Saturday I didn't see any remaining stock quantity updates until today (Monday). I checked several times on Saturday and Sunday. I figured with the delay in updating the stock remaining numbers I might not get everything this time around. I did end up getting a notification today that some items were out of stock and some others had less stock remaining than I ordered so I would be getting none of some items and partial quantities of others.At this point there are not many bargains left on the Wiha tools at Arrow, mainly individual screwdrivers around the $1 range. That is a good thing for me, I already spent way too much there on Wiha tools that I couldn't resist at the reduced prices.The status on almost all of these reduced priced items has now changed to "THIS PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE FOR ORDER ON ARROW.COM". I assume that means they blew out their remaining stock of those items and won't be restocking those exact items.

content: Quote from: DaJMasta on July 25, 2019, 12:40:43 amIMHO, in terms of bit/tip quality, three screwdriver companies stand out: PB Swiss, Wiha, and Wera. They're all superb. (I suspect there are some Japanese brands of equivalent quality that I'm simply not aware of.)In other things, there are differences. The Wera grips (seen in a reply above) are love-em-or-hate-em (me, I hate them). Wiha's precision drivers have scratchy rotating caps, which I find annoying. (However, their selection of precision drivers is larger.)So far, the brand I like most is PB Swiss. I've already got lots of screwdrivers of theirs (both precision and regular), which are great. I recently got a ratcheting screwdriver handle of theirs, and I've never in my life used a ratchet with so little play. It just feels gorgeous. Their bits are also super nice, and color coded by kind. (They also cost a fortune.) I am in the process of little by little replacing all my lesser screwdrivers with PB Swiss, as they go on sale from time to time.

Their screws are deep in long narrow holes.PH1 long WÜRTH and some of Wiha sets are 20 years in use. But some things like soviet flat(pinkish head) I remember from childhood.But in EU is hard to find good deals, some of them I had to buy from USA. Then there is a bigpostage cost and import taxes. What you can do...And yes, if I compare my old Wiha product with exactly the same new one there are light "feel" differences.Like new products have bit lower standards.

content: Snap-on drivers are pretty good. I like them best. Strong shank and high torque handles but not so awkward that you can't spin them quickly. Lifetime warranty and free replacements. The precision selection is lacking though as well as insulated tools. It's the only reason I bought any of the Wiha stuff.

content: The Wiha prices, free overnight freight and some other the other prices make me wonder how Arrow survives financially.I recently started servicing some equipment using QMA RF connector so I thought that I'd price some at Arrow. I thought that I could afford the TE 2016027-1 QMA connectors for $0.0001 each! I ordered a bunch and then saw a tariff of $0.386 each for each. While still incredibly low, due to my limited actual need for them I reduced my order to just five. That reduced Arrow's inventory of them from 180 to 175 and now the price is shown as $2.14 each, plus the tariff.I saw a variety of other $0.0001 each items. Common 1N5817-E3/4 diodes--I will take 100 of those for just one cent! I can even handle the $0.0235 each tariff for those. I see them now for $0.11 each.100 ohm 0.05% 0805 SMD resistors for just $0.0001 each! I cleaned out the 49 of those which they had. They did not even charge me the $0.0049 for those and no tariff.LM324-SR for just $0.024 each and no tariff! They are still available, now for $0.0244.The attachment shows some of my other low prices. I have not checked on what is still available at those prices.
