Vim, Neiko, or other for XZN bit set?

Not sure which to buy?

Neiko 10054A is a 10 piece set for about $37ish

Vim XZN400 is a 9 piece set for $45, plus you have to add on the 9mm which is another $25...!

I have no experience with either brand, is one significantly better than the other? Any other companies making XZN sets? Both are supposedly S2 steel...

Without ever using neiko, I'd vote vim. They make a damn good bit that I have no complaints about.

no problems from my neiko allen set or torx set but i dont beat on them everyday if you work on german cars all day long might not be a bad idea to grab a really nice set off the tool truck..... as for me ill probably end up with neiko and use them untill one breaks then curse China and Taiwan, then call the Snap on man.

well seeing as the SO "set" is only 5 pcs and $200 (so I'd have to add on the missing bits at $30-40 apiece) that's out... I *drive* German cars every day, but the only time I've ever actually used my XZN's is whenever I have to replace or repack a CV joint. The only reason I'm even considering purchasing is apparently my car uses 9mm for the parking brake, which I don't have in my old set... also newer VWs also use a size I don't have for the caliper carrier bolts... So I'm looking for something a little more economical...
