As you'd expect of Wera, this screwdriver is well built and appears (so far) to be durable. The bit holder hidden in the handle is a good bit of design, however a key flaw as I've found it, is that the handle is too thin, and the shape is uncomfortable in the hand. My hands aren't particularly big, but my fingers reach right round the handle, making it difficult to grip the screwdriver firmly without digging your nails into your palm. The shape is too contoured, making the lump in the middle uncomfortable too. I guess this is personal preference, and I know it's a standard design on Wera screwdrivers, but my next ratchet screwdriver will be a Stanley (that I've had before), as the handle is a better fit.
Minky Chrome Iron 3 in 1 Storage System Over Door

Looks nice but doesn't fit a modern iron
This iron holder is nice shiny chrome but has some major flaws:
1. It is too shallow at the base to hold our iron, which is a fairly standard modern iron (not a fancy industrial one or anything). The iron does go in the basket but doesn't touch the base and tilts over sideways.
2. The two metal strips where the door-hanging bracket slots on have unfinished, sharp metal edges on the inside. These will scratch the nice smooth base of your iron and wreck it. I have fashioned a couple of plastic covers over the metal strips to protect the iron, but that shouldn't be necessary - really bad design.
3. The slot in the front of the basket doesn't go right to the bottom of the basket so if your iron flex comes out of the iron at it's base (like ours), then it gets squashed by the basket (because it's too shallow).
Apart from that... it's perfect :-)
If you need this washing machine door handle then you don't really have any choice - it has to be this one. But it is thin plastic and ours has already cracked after a couple of uses. Also our original door handle had a metal catch but the new one is plastic, so it's really not up to the job, and I expect it to fall apart before long... so I'll be back to buy another one, as it's either that or a new washing machine.
