Capri fro hex and torx, and I like the look of the hazet for Phillips, but haven't tried it yet.

Brownells has good quality bits of all types that you can buy individually as replacements or to get only what you want instead of what is in their sets.

I have this set. It only goes down to T8 but otherwise has everything you want. I think I only paid around $20 for my set though.

Wera makes a few sets:

Some even come with sockets and a small bit handle, see kc tool for examples.

I just got the wiha go box for $25- it's a great little kit. Its got almost everything you want plus a ratchet and locking bit holder. You will need to buy the flatheads separate. Ultra compact too....

Thanks guys I'm staying away from leather man had bad experiences with them in the past that wiha go box looks good �� does anyone have experience with the felo* bits seems I can buy each individually to custom make a set that suits my purposes plus they have diamond grit coated bits to that may be handy in the future to replace my most common uses bits with. Thanks for all the good ideas guys one thing I'm noticing is lack of t-27 torch witch I use all the time with my stihl power equipment just a observation not a big deal to add one and get rid of a #3 Phillips though

The Wiha kit I bought includes a t-27. It has 3 pozidrives you could take out if you don't need them to make room for slotted bits.

I bought two go boxes, a two pack of large slotted bits, and two boxes of their phillips/slot bits. That gave me the all the slotted sizes I wanted. Total with shipping was $70 to assemble two complete kits. You can also buy their stubby bit holder and this would give you quite a bit of versatility.

Having said all that, I have not put these bits to the test yet. But they're German mfg impact bits so I'm hopeful they're decent. I like the wera kits but saw a post recently questioning the quality of their new czech mfg. items.

Here's a video of the go box. It is smaller than it looks in the video

Get the Wera BitCheck kit. Absolutely impressive in how compact it is and the excellent quality of the items. Available on Amazon for well under $100.
People will be amazed at what it can do, and ask about the brand and where they can get one.
