Nice little kit, especially to keep in a little bike repair kit. This is definitely the most compact one vs the competing Icon 'meme tool', and the Wera ToolCheck set (although the Wera set comes with proper sockets, and a mini screwdriver, too).
I have all 3. All are good in their own ways. If I could only keep one it'd be the Wera, but largely because of the sockets & mini screwdriver.
I keep the Icon set at work where it sees a lot of use, mostly for calibrating shop tools, but there's a little plastic tab in one corner of the ratchet head that keeps the bits from passing all the way through - in my case, that wore out very quickly. I now have to keep a finger on the back of the bits to keep them from pushing through. Also, I've never found a situation where the 't-handle' was a very useful configuration, so I'm over-all non-plussed about that clever aspect of the design. That said, I do think the flex-head is super useful, and I often configure it at 90degrees to use it as a rapid-crank when I have to turn a lot of thread on a machine screw.
At home, I have the Wera bit check plus with the metric sockets and another Icon set. I use them mostly on bicycles. Besides being a little bulky, the Wera has the most utility of the 3. Unfortunately, I find the screwdriver handle to be close to worthless because it's too narrow to apply appropriate torque for many fasteners by hand - so I end up using the bit ratchet exclusively. (I think that size handle would be a good match for 4mm insert bits rather than 1/4".) The Wera kit also has a tendency to release and drop the ratchet when putting it in or out of a vertical pocket, which makes it a poor choice for my work bags.
I keep the Wiha in a mini go-bag because it's the lightest and smallest. All three are excellent, as I've said, with minor caveats. This is a great price.
