Product categories and brands 
Wera products include screwdrivers, screwdriver bits, ratchets and sockets, nut-spinners and L-keys. Wera is known for its line of screwdrivers featuring the distinctive Kraftform shape handle.

The distinctive 'crowns' from this handle are used as part of the Wera logo. Other key Wera developments and well-known brands include:

Joker Ratchet spanners with a nut holding feature
