Need suggestions for a Quick Change long screwdriver bit set

Like the Snap On SDML19KT

Or Matco MQC34B

Prefer US or UK/Germany, but quality imports of other varieties will be considered. It needs to have 6" Phillips 1-3 and T8-20 Torx at least. Anything extra will be a bonus. Thanks!

Lots of them available individually, but I don't see any in sets like that. I'd be curious to know who makes that set for Snap-on.

Did you look at the Wera line?

I did, as well as Apex, Zephyr, Wiha, and PB Swiss. All had extra long power bits, but none of them come as sets with a blow molded case.

Pretty sure the Matco set is a rebranded Irwin-Hanson set. I'd consider them but I havre no experience with them.

With the price Matco is charging for that set, I'd rather build my own APEX or Zephyr set.

I'm still wondering who makes that set for Snap-on.

Zephyr makes all Snap on bits. Very good quality.

Cheaper options.

I have the SO kit and it's very good. If price is a concern I have had the Mac rebrand of this for 7 years and used it with my impacts. Made in China but very good.Have yet to break or wear one out,which is more than I can say about my Milwaukee Shockwaves.

Yes I know that but I wasn't sure if Zephyr made that specific power bit set. Being that Snap-on says the COO is USA, and being that there's not very many bit manufacturers left in the USA, it would almost have to be Apex or Zephyr.

Look for the circle z mark to id as Zephyr sourced.

I have the Irwin set that MAC and Matco rebrand and throw in a red case. It is a great set that I recommend picking up with the Irwin name online for much less.

Just checked my SO kit and it has the circle z mark for Zephyr.

The special low profile #2 Phillips bits from Snap-on are flat out awesome. If you ever get one of those shallow Phillips machine screws that are hard to grab ahold of with regular Phillips bits, these bits will sink down in deep and bite hard. Excellent fitting bits made by Zephyr.
