I wouldn't really.

I bought a Wera ratcheting screwdriver on the strength of people praising Wera on this forum. Its pants.
The bit holder slides in the end of the handle and is released by pushing a lever on each side. It is terrible to use, once you've managed to press the levers enough (impossible with gloves on) you cannot get the bits out of the holder without a nail or something to push them out.
I like my Wera Kraftform screwdrivers, for allen keys I went Unbrako, they have been excellent, I have an old draper set too that have been far better than I expected.Kamasa stuff over here is mostly garbage.
Wera stuff is hit and miss. The screwdrivers are good value for money.
Allen keys seem to be the hardest thing to make well these days. I buy 10 sets at a time, both metric and imperial, for the lads at work. I've tried all sorts of makes, Facom, Teng, King Dick, etc. The VERY WORST ones were Beta. Just chocolate. The second worst, were Wera!
The best-wearing, actually, turned out to be Draper, the older ones before they went to a spazzy box holder. Tied in 1st place is RS-pro, the hard-chromed metric sets and the black imperial sets, and that's all I buy now.
As for socket bits, I buy Teng or KD for work, but I have a set of Snap-on bits for myself, and they're absolutely worth every single penny. Never broke, twisted or worn, no matter how much i butcher them!
Draper dont make anything just sub it out but as you have found some is excellent, I have a 3/8 socket set I suspect ETC in Japan made it fits excellentI like my Wera Kraftform screwdrivers, for allen keys I went Unbrako, they have been excellent, I have an old draper set too that have been far better than I expected.
Unbrako were the go-to for a long time for one-off allen keys for jobs, especially bigger sizes! I wish I could find sets of them, they'd have to be long style with ball ends. All I can ever find when i search or ask for them, is short plain style.I like my Wera Kraftform screwdrivers, for allen keys I went Unbrako, they have been excellent, I have an old draper set too that have been far better than I expected.
Mine came from the US, possibly old stock.Unbrako were the go-to for a long time for one-off allen keys for jobs, especially bigger sizes! I wish I could find sets of them, they'd have to be long style with ball ends. All I can ever find when i search or ask for them, is short plain style.
