What are the best bits you have used, or your favorites? For me, it is mostly Zephyr and Apex. For hew/allen, I prefer Wera, for torx, also wera "I like the hold function wera bits"...The HF torx bits.
For standard/slotted, I go to Brownels. They have many many standard bit sizes in different widths and thicknesses. All Brownels Magna bits are made by Zephyr for them.
I have lots of others too, but these are my favorites that give me best results.

The only brand I now use for #1, #2, and #3 Phillips is Vessel.

Most of my sheet metal screw nut driver bits are closeout USA Bosch or USA Malco.

Almost all my Torx bits, Torx Plus, Security Torx, Security Torx Plus, and hex bits are Wiha. Mostly from back when they were still German made.

6" long power bits, square drive bits, and Pozidriv bits are mostly Wera.

XZN bits are Felo.

Mortorq, Tri-wing, and Torq-Set bits are a mix of Apex, Zephyr, and Vega.

Slotted bits are a mix of Apex, Brownell's Zephyr, Felo, and Wiha.

I don't remember what brand my Frearson bits are.

Clutch bits are mostly Picquic Taiwan

I do also like the vessel bits. Well made, fit great, and last very long. They can be tough to find though

My loose bits are all zypher and snap-on. Bought the zypher for use when snap on breaks, and the truck doesn't come the next day. Use the zypher until it breaks of wears out, toss it, put the SO back in, repeat.

Whia, VIM, and anything S2 steel work for me. The whia holding function are awesome.

I agree, the Wera Hold Fuction Torx bits are a game changer for me. I hated torx screws before I got the HF bits. The torx bits never fit good, always had wiggle . The HF bits fit tight, no wobble, plus they hold the screw as a bonus. I want torx bits to fit like a very good hex/allen bit... snug.
