Great set for home use/DIY. Multiple bits, case is nice, some of the short bits are tough to remove
I do a LOT of work on my properties and I have used these sets extensively since April, 2019 and since then I’ve bought a total of 3 of these bit kits.
I saw some of the lower reviews whining about duplicate bits - WTF are they talking about? There’s a reason they sell 20 bit contractor packs of the same bits because you NEED duplicates! It’s an imperfect world and things break and wear out.
The short bits are supposed to be used in one of the extensions included in the set. One of the one star reviews whined that he couldn’t get the short bit out of his drill because it was “slippery” and too short. Geezus - it’s an anti-corrosive machine oil coating and it should be used in an extension. 20+ people found his review “helpful”. I have no words...
Pro:
-Slim, handy case that has held up for over a year now bouncing around my shop and different jobs every day
-Wide variety of bits with duplicate bits so if one breaks/strips, you have an extra one on hand.
-Nut driver selection is excellent and you want nut drivers in a clam shell case so they don't get lost. The nut drivers in those "strip cases" suck because they fall out constantly.
-I like the wide variety/assortment of bits, extensions and adapters - it beats running back and forth to my shop or vehicle for the "other" set.
-Low price - for less than $30, this kit is nearly free
Con:
-Some of the short bits are tough to remove from the case and require pliers. I'm OK with that because it's better to have them too tight than too loose.
Even if you're a full time auto tech, I doubt you're going to want to invest in a Snap-On/Blue-Point kit like this because it doesn't exist and because if it did exist, it would cost north of $400 and it would probably come from the same factory.
I think hard core DIY folks and a lot of contractors out there will appreciate the utility of this low price set and the bit redundancy.
I recommend this kit because of the variety of bits, extensions, adapter and drivers. For the whiners, nothing will make you happy.
