Can anyone recommend a 1/4" hex impact driver bit set that comes with the bits in a good plastic case?

This is what I've been using for a few years http://www.walmart.com/ip/17027820?...69745910&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=39991733950&veh=sem
and it's been great, but it's just a box of loose bits. The slightest jarring of the case causes them to fall out of the plastic slots they snap into. I would go so far as to say I'm actually more interested in the storage case than the bits themselves, as the bits do me no good once lost, and the organizer/storage box where everything has it's place is the ideal way to minimize loss (at least for me). This set managed to last me two years before I lost the 5/18" nutsetter, but that was a critical loss.

The set must have 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" magnetic nutsetters, and they have to be good ones. Cheap ones piss me off when they spit out the magnet after a day's use on an impact driver.

I have a couple impact-rated Milwaukee bit boxes that come with bits and good storage.

There are a few compartments and come with 3 nut setters. Got them from Home Depot.

I have that set in my larger tool bag.

Have never had issues with the compartment lids or the box door being weak/opening when I dont want it to.

Home Depot has a few variations of the contents and how they are organized but I would buy the ones I have again.

I do much prefer Wera Impaktor bits, they last WAY longer than any other impact-rated bit I have ever used. Chadstoolbox.com has Impacktor sets at good prices. Some people have had customer services/shipping issues with them, but I never have. So, YMMV.

I also got a Milwaukee kit from HB. Very happy it it. I'd get another. It was around $20 during Christmas.

I also have the Milwaukee set. The bits are great but the case ***** IMO. The locking mechanism for the case is pretty poor. I also would have liked to have individual spots for all of the bits that are stored in the clear plastic side. If you have to find something in there is usually isn't a quick affair unless you are lucky.
