Best screwdriver bit sets

[Blanco_25]

I'm looking to buy a set that has different types in a set ( torx, etc .) I have a snap on ratcheting screwdriver that has 3 different Phillips and 2 slotted.

I was looking at snap on sdm400a master set but can't see myself paying that . Is there any others you would recommend?

Bosch, Milwaukee, DeWalt are all pretty good.

Wiha makes excellent bits as does Wera.

PB Swiss for the win!

Wiha's are excellent. Mine have held up really well, I've had this set for over a year...

That Wiha set is listed for $26 under other sellers. Cant beat that, just picked one up myself.

Retail on the sdm400a is offensive. The bits are top quality. I use them on a 20v impact driver all the time and on a ratcheting screwdriver. I have yet to break a bit. I have 2 sets. Watch ebay and you can get a good deal on them.

Nearly $200 (Choke!)

For the avg Jo yes, very expensive. for the working pro that needs them replaced often, maybe not. That would be a ton of replacements though...

These zephyr bit sets are the way to go, you can get 2 of them for $60, and still be at 1/3 of the snap on retail price. If you need any extras from apex/zephyr order them at the same time as they have a $50 min order.

(These bits were the oem bits for snap on for a long time).

Good call T, Not to mention they come in an awesome METAL(!) box!

I bought both my Snap-on sets new in the wrapper off of ebay paid 50.00 for one set and 65.00 for the other. You just have to watch.

Omega also handles Apex tooling. Apex has been the standard for commercial assembly tooling for many years, and they are known for durability.

VIM makes a nice set too, 36 piece, with one of the best bit holders going if storing in a toolbox drawer.

There is no lack of great bit sets on the market, lots to chose from...

Is VIM really that good? Ya I get they're sold on some Matco trucks and everything, but so are Matco bits. Meaning these are cheaper alternative.

Anyone use this Stanley ratcheting screwdriver. It interests me because of the locking collar. Stanley 69-189 Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002I3TDP0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Not sure what you mean by "really that good?".

Lots of posts from users that give VIM very high marks and VIM bits are generally considered a good value

Also, VIM socket/bit holders are considered some of the best out there...

Cornwell hawks VIM on their trucks also.
The zbb4 set is nice and come in a well made box.

If you're looking for a universal set the Mac SBDR123SA has a ton of bits and comes with a Proto bit holder. Wiha and Wera have bit sets, as well as PB swiss.

I went with the blue point PTB32K a more budget friendlier version of the sdm400a. Regular 50 but my driver had them for 50% off.

I have that same blue point set and it's actually pretty good.
