Easy to get milwaukee shockwaves. They are pretty good value.

For higher price, wera impaktor, they work better then the shockwave. I had both, the wera has more life over the shockwaves.

If you're not using them in a contractor/industrial setting, the Shockwaves are a pretty good pick.

Wera bit check. .. I have the same driver. Its not a impact so no need for shockwaves unless you are usibg it for work. I use shockwaves and wera in a pro setting. Wiha has a nice bit set as well

PS21A is just the baby drill isn't it, not impact, so any bits. I have all kinds but my most used are sets of 100 security bits HF has on sale from time to time for $8 or so. Doesn't hurt to have some expensive bits, I have some Wera diamond, but haven't broken any HF yet.

OTOH if you do decking or something, you buy a box of the bits to fit the fasteners and burn through a fair number of them from wear and oops.

The wiha are excellent bits, they now have their maxx torque bits. They seem to be even tougher then the wera. But very pricey.

But i would still invest a bit more on bits with the bosch driver. I have cam out a bunch of dewalt bits with my 12v bosch drill. The cheaper bits are no where as hard as there more expensive ones.

I would go with the wera rapidaptor over the cheaper chinese bits. This is a very good set on amazon

The Shockwave set has the box/flat bit that makes opening electrical boxes easier enough that it's worth a set.

As impact bits, the Shockwaves I don't think are as good as the DeWalt. But as mentioned you aren't using it on an impact driver. I still prefer the DeWalts in value for sets.

The Bosch bits are good as well and fairly low-frills, unlike Wera which seems to gimmick as much as they do quality. (They do a lot of both.)

I bought a bunch of Bosch T25s and R2's from Cripe a couple months ago, they probably still have a decent selection if you want individual bits.

Personally, I have given up on "bit selection" kits for my go-to bits... I store the most common (P2, R2/S2, T25) in my toolbox tray. The bit selections are great when you need an oddity.

Also, a lot of the Bosch bit separates are Made in the USA for some reason.

My favorite quality 1" insert are what came with my Felo E-Pro, that's another option as well if you do electrical work.
