Matco is a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation. Irwin is a subsidiary of Newell Rubbermaid. Both are publicly traded companies separate from the other. Try Norseman, Champion, or Triumph bits. This Champion set is 1/3 of the price...

You don't need the entire tower, just those few parts, I replaced in mine about 6 weeks ago for ~$35, local distributor stocked all the parts.

I have that compressor, besides the diaphragm and seal you might need to replace the unloader plunger assembly, that goes out in mine every 5-6 years along with the seal. part 7532x according to the parts diagram -Montgomery

I carry a 3/8 set and a 3/4 set, I forgo carrying a 1/2 and just have a fairly complete 3/8& 3/4 sets and get by most of the times with that. That being said, most of my equipment is not new anymore.

I had a bad batch of the Milwaukee bits last week so I pulled the trigger on some Apex acr bits, they might be the best bits I've ever used. I was already a fan of their torx bits. Price is the only drawback but I'm using them professionally.

I got to use a Megapro last friday, I've ordered a Security1, Hex, and an original for my install bag, it felt great Thanks for all the suggestions, I've ordered one of each of these: felo, bacho, and the mega pro. I'll stop the snap on guy next chance I get, I send a lot of my time out of the...

Those gaps are unacceptable. Is that treated and untreated together in the same post?What fasteners is he using and how is he laying them up? Most of my experience is in commercial construction but we have an equipment shed with laminated posts.

I forgot about Zephyr and Apex, I have master set at my bench a combo of both. They're great for hand driving on precise work but I haven't bought them in bulk in my most common sizes to carry around and toss out. -Montgomery

This is my exact sentiment, I don't even care for channel lock brand after upgrading. In my line of work cheap screwdrivers cause so much extra work they aren't near worth it.

I use mostly TR Torx, Witte is the best I've used and Wiha is second best. I have had decent luck with the Milwaukee shockwave in the impact just because they are cheap, the wiha wore out just the same. Fein sells a great set of torx impact bits if you use them. Added: I do commercial lock work...

I have never had ratcheting driver I liked. The Bahco looks nice, I'll order one to try. The wera drivers don't fit my hands well.

I use a lot of security bits in a bit holding screwdriver, at work, presently I have a Matco SBD6 and I was looking to upgrade to more comfortable. -I'd prefer a western democracy as a COO. -Budget isn't much of an issue. -some kind of retainer beside magnetic is prefered Thanks, Montgomery

To answer your question; Norseman, champion, or triumph all make a fairly complete selection of bits in good quality. Are you looking for a complete index set, what substrate you are drilling?

T-20 1/4 drive socket, matco.
