Wera’s 2026 advent calendar is shipping now, and this year it pulls a new tool out of the box before the holidays even start.
The 24-day calendar runs about $69 on Amazon and sells through fast, so if you like the look of it, don’t sit on the decision. These calendars have a habit of going out of stock by October.
What’s inside this year
The headline item is the new 9115 “Flashdriver,” a compact flashlight with a built-in bit holder. It’s 3.7 inches long, and this calendar is currently the only place to get it.
Wera packs in a magnetic 815/1 bit-holding screwdriver plus 50mm Phillips, Pozidriv, Torx, and slotted bits.
Seven metric L-keys run from 1.5 to 6mm, several with the Hex-Plus socket design.
A Tool-Check Modular L-Key holder, a 1/4-inch hex bottle opener, and Wera’s 9590 textile tool dock finish off the 24 pieces.
Why the Flashdriver matters
Wera usually spaces its new releases out through the year, so the Flashdriver landing here is the surprise. A flashlight with a built-in bit holder is genuinely useful on a bench or in a tool bag, not just a stocking filler.
The rest of the case is a solid Wera starter set, which is really what you are paying for at $69.
Who it’s for
Someone still building out an everyday-carry loadout, or a gift for the family member who keeps borrowing your screwdrivers. It is a 24-day countdown more than a pro-grade kit, so set expectations at the price point.
Every piece is a real Wera tool. Nothing in here is bundle-sale filler.
Two things to check before ordering
The Amazon listing ships from Amazon Germany, so import pricing and delivery estimates move around more than a normal Prime order. The sub-$70 price is accurate today but not guaranteed a week from now.
And if you are buying for someone who already owns a full Wera drawer, they may own duplicates of the plain bits and L-keys. The Flashdriver is still the reason to jump.
