[theoldwizard1]

Title says it all. I would like short, medium and long and reasonably priced.

Vim IMPACT-8 is only available in short lengths.

Wiha and Wera have a short and longer size.

Apex

apex doesn't seem to have impact bits.

 

[johndeereman]

I have used apex even though they are non-impact i have never broke one. I have also used shockwave bit's from milwaukee.

I've been very happy with Qualtool Qryptonite bits. I've bought some multi packs but these things last forever. I first found them after repeatedly breaking cheap Chinese bits (kobalt, dewalt, milwaukee, etc) switched to these and went through 20 lbs of 3.5" deck screws without any breaks or stripping on the number 2 phillips. I can say I'm never going back.

Wiha and Wera have a short and longer size.

The longest Wiha impact bits I can find are 49mm (~ 2"). I would like a couple of 6" ones.

I've been using the regular Dewalts... but my 12v unit isn't the strongest impact out there.

You could try V.I., They are made in Taiwan. And they fit your criteria of:

-multiple lengths, up to 6 inches (power bits)
-impact

Do you have a menards near by?

Not sure these would be considered 'reasonably priced' but I have really liked the PB Swiss short bits I picked up this Christmas (Phillips and Torx):

They also aren't specifically listed as impacts but I've been using them as such and they appear to be holding up great so far.

I'll be purchasing longer ones in the future.
