KC Tool sent a heads-up that they’ve got the new Wera 2024 advent calendar in stock.
Every year, Wera launches a new advent calendar tool set featuring a varied selection of tools, accessories, and a collectable or two. This year’s no different.
Yes, it’s a bit early for this, but that’s the case every year. One thing to keep in mind is that Wera’s advent calendar tool set tends to sell out every year. You don’t have to rush to buy it right away, but supplies do tend to be finite.
The main part of the tool kit is a screwdriver handle with a bunch of bits, and yes that’s a 1/4″ hex ratchet head attachment to go along with the trio of metric sockets.
Thus, it’s part screwdriver handle, part bit ratchet.
Everything stores away in a compact mini Tool-Check case.

As for the collectable part of this year’s set, you get a compact bottle opener and… what are those, stubby screwdriver handles? No, they’re salt and pepper shakers, complete with a soft carrying case.
I keep my screwdriver handle-style Wera bottle opener in the kitchen cabinet. I’m not sure I’d carry Wera stubby-style salt and pepper shakers around, but I’d likely bust them out during any get-togethers.
Here’s the full list of everything the advent calendar tool set comes with:
- 1/4″ Hex 60-tooth reversible bit ratchet (9544)
- Magnetic bit-holding screwdriver (815/1)
- Universal bit holder 1x 1/4″x50 mm (899/4/1)
- 1/4″ square to hex adapter (870/1)
- 1/4″ sockets: 8, 10, 13mm (8790 HMA)
- 2″ screwdriver bits
- Phillips: PH1, PH2 (851/4)
- Pozidriv: PZ1, PZ2 (855/4)
- Slotted: 5.5 mm (800/1)
- 1″ screwdriver bits
- Torx: T10, T15, T20, T25 (867/1)
- Hex: 3, 4, 5, 6mm (840/1)
- Mini Tool Check plastic case
- Salt (9542) and pepper (9543) shakers
- Zyklop bottle opener (9501)

Should You Buy it?
Aside from this including a very compact version of Wera’s Tool Check, here’s what’s unique about the 2024 advent calendar tool set:
9544 1/4″ hex Zyklop Mini ratchet head
Salt & pepper shakers
Mini bottle opener (correction – this was also included in Wera’s 2021 advent calendar)
Unless you’re really into the salt and pepper shakers, or collecting bottle openers, I think the Zykop mini bit ratchet is going to be the biggest new attraction.
How badly do you want it?
Will There be Deals or Discounts?
Based on what we’ve seen in prior years, it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll be able to find the holiday tool set at lower pricing.
