Best Screwdriver Bit

[djscotty]

What is your preferred screwdriver bit of choice?

I have purchased a bunch of different kinds and have never been happy? I have a brand new Milwaukee and getting ready to start on some new projects and I would to find a new good screwdriver bit.

They all wear out. I grab a handful of generic Ace Hardware bits at a time. They are a good balance between life of the bit (in my hands) and price.

wera or wiha for me.

Apex bits hold up really good, I have a Apex 3/8 3 inch long wobble bit socket, I needed to use it to break loose some severly rusted on licence plate screws and the Ph2 bit held up well.

Apex or Zerphyr American made bits. Never had any issues with either on.

Apex ACR get the ones with ribs on both sides for driving and removing, have also had fairly good luck with irwin bits in 18V impact driver

Apex or Zephyr. But I've been rather impressed with Eazypower bits and Makita Gold.

Phillips bits, seem to be the most widely used. Love em!!

Surprisingly the ones that came with my Ryobi drill lasted the longest of any I have bought recently. Avoid Dewalt bits. I snapped three bits in five minutes. Tossed the rest, but kept the extender and screw holder. Only thing decent in the set.

I once drywalled 2300 sq ft w a single Isomax bit. Never see them recommended here, not sure if that's because they're not well known, or if others have had worse luck with them, but I love mine.

I have been happy with Apex, after experiencing some P2 and T40 (and other torx) failures.

Apex is all I use in power tools. Apex, Zephyr and Snap-on for hand tool use.

SK/Ideal USA bits hold up great, and any German/Swedish bits I have run across at industrial suppliers are excellent too.

Nothing compares to Apex or Zephyr with the anti-cam out ribs (ACR). They make some with ribs on the driver flanks for install, some with ribs for removal and some with ribs on both flanks. Get both flanks and be done with it.

The other ribbed bits like Wera or Wiha are too soft or don't bite as well.

You can buy the good stuff from McMaster-Carr. Tons of options.

Like a lot of people on here I have had great sucess with the Apex bits with ACR.
