Me for Wera also, have been using them solid (hex keys and screw drivers) around 2 years now and very, very good, especially the keys.
One tip for those switching from other brands, beware if you are not used to the length of Wera keys - with their bite and leverage you don't need to go heavy handed as you'll be shearing bolt heads off in no time

Re:
I have one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wera-Tool-Chec ... ast_sto_dp
I keep it with my bike tools and use it quite a bit. The only issue is that the 2 and 2.5mm hex bits are missing and there is only 1 flat blade driver. I bought some extra bits separately and replaced some of the torx bits and duplicate posidrive bits. The ratchet handle is tiny, only about 80 or 90mm long, but works really well and is totally adeqaute for low torque bike fettling and handy in tight spaces.
The screwdriver handle is also quite titchy, so I bought one of these to go with it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00 ... &psc=1
The other neat thing I bought a while back is one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KNIPEX-Pliers- ... Y0H2968MVB. It works really well if you have a nut or bolt that's been rounded off a bit because it actually grips/squeezes across the flats with quite a lot of force.
