I think that's the one Warren (toolfest) posted about awhile back. We're getting them here in the UK soon apparently
 
Hope to see it soon in the USA [big grin]

I really like the attic.

Very nice and an improvement over the prior version. The attic makes it more useful. My Vecturo has an attic and I've already filled it up. I by more Systainers with Attics if they were available in the US for individual purchase.

Hopefully the Centrotec set will make its way to the US (one way or another).
 
I got one of these this week and it's the perfect set for me.

It has pretty much everything you need. Missing:

-any type of flat screwdriver bits - but rarely use these.
-the drill / countersink combo. Although in practice I often found these the wrong size for the screws I was using!
-the Centrotec adapter (handy for using centrotec bits on other drills) 496450

Importantly it has the essential hook driver!

The ratchet spanner is very neat. As is the new attachment to what was the Centrotec screwdriver handle. Holds even long bits rock solid. And the awl is very handy.
 
Strange that these new parts are not available separately.
The CE awl was already in one of the first Centrotec systainers years ago.
And the new bitholder (made by Wiha) on the screwdriver handle (made by Wiha) is also not sold separately.
On the "Bouwbeurs" this week in Holland I asked the Wiha representative why Wiha does not sell any Centrotec part under their own brandname. The man was little confused and did not know what to say. Many of the Centrotec parts are made by Wiha after all.
The more manufactures makes it, the better the system gets attention and more pieces are sold. Very strange!?
Axminster (Trade Bizz) and Fisch have joined their forces and are bringing out a few Centrotec compatible bits and drills although they look a little different. I have tried them and they fit well.

That wiha 7148C bit holder is what I was going to get and convert to centrotec as it can take just about any hex bit available including centrotec.  It locks the bits really well so hardly any wobble. Sadly the hex shank is too short to convert and they dont make a 75mm one as I contacted wiha. Shame as its a really nice bit holder. So will be using a wera rapidaptor 75mm bit holder instead.
 
Thanks for posting a pic. It's disappointing that you can't swap the Wiha bitholder with the normal chuck though. I spent a few minutes trying to pull it off but realised it doesn't come off!
 
Do you mean that the Wiha CentroFix bitholder is permanently attached to the Centrotec Drive handle?
Normally the Centrotec chuck WH-CE can be attached to this screwdriver.

Yes the new bit holder is permanently attached - unless I'm missing something!

I have both screwdrivers - if you notice - the standard one has number 13 and the new one has 15:
