    Weird SO ratchet screwdriver question.

    So I bought my first SO Ratchet driver, now what is your guys' opinion. Do you store your driver bits in the driver, or somewhere else? If you store them somewhere else, what do you store in your handle? The bits are kinda ******* me off being in the handle...rattling around and such.

    Home Depot: Milwaukee M12 kits with FREE extra battery!

    There is a promo that is advertised. If you purchase an M12 tool KIT (not a bare tool), you will instantly get an extra battery (the new 2.0 high capacity one, valued at $50). I got a 3/8" ratchet kit, as well as the free battery. This appears to be going on with all the kits.

    Bit driver bits.

    Is it honestly worth it to purchase a really expensive bit set from Snap On? Assuming you use the bits for their intended purpose, will a set like this from HF last you? Has anyone had any real world experience with bits breaking or getting damaged under normal usage? I really cannot justify...
