You can see the little plastic case is the same, the bits are all forged torsion bits in both Wiha and Newlec sets. Just Wiha bits are Titanium coated.
Weidmuller is a brand that has special products from Wiha, some special screwdriver bits and screwdrivers, the same special products are made by Wera for another brand called Phoenix Contact. Weidmuller has the same design as Wiha in their screwdriver handle just different colour. All made in Germany. The same bend slotted screwdriver is available from Phoenix Contact as well. Phoenix Contact Screwdrivers and bits are made in Czech Rep. same as Wera.
At least it’s made in Germany.

Yes, they were made in Germany and still some of their bits are, but slowly slowly they move the bit production to Vietnam. The reason I introduce these brands here is sometimes you get the same quality bits from these brands for cheaper prices as some of them are not well known, Also some are not available from Wiha and are just available by some of these brands even though they are produced by Wiha.
