The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wera.de\/en\/tools\/tool-check-plus-imperial-1\">Imperial 1 page<\/a> identifies 05049060001. Both list 39 pieces, including a small ratchet, bit-holding screwdriver, holder, adapter, bits and sockets. The Imperial page explicitly identifies imperial socket sizes and Square-Plus\/Robertson bits; the PLUS 1 contents include metric hex sizes and Pozidriv entries.<\/p>\n<h2>The drive interface is not the working size<\/h2>\n<p>A 1\/4-inch drive or bit mounting describes the connection within the tool system. It does not mean every working socket is 1\/4-inch, or that the set&#8217;s hex bits are all imperial.
