Should have known better - Very hard but unfortunately brittle!
I bought this set of bits as for the price I could have bought a couple "good" #2 Phillips bits, and based on reviews I figured these would work, as well as having the bit changer and extensions.I've worn out many bits as well as broken many bits in my time. NEVER broken as many bits as fast as these. The first one was two days ago .. the other five (5!) were all from yesterday, in about an hour. I thought maybe it was a flawed bit the first time (things happen), but the second, then third ...??? No .. these are nicely made, very accurate shaping with excellent grab, but sadly they are way too brittle. I usually wear bits out over time, or strip or break the screws more often, but in this case, the bits are failing way too fast.I'm using a Bosch 18 volt cordless drill, and am NOT, repeat NOT! using impact mode. Regular screwdriving mode. Not even the high torque gear setting.For what it's worth, I don't like actually using Phillips drive fasteners if I can help it. I strongly prefer star drive and square, in that order, especially for any larger wood screw, like #10 3" and up. In this case, I'm removing old fencing, 2x4 and 2x6 railings (fir and cedar) attached to pressure treated posts. The rusted 3 1/2" screws come out fairly easily form the posts that were in sun, but those in shade tended to stay more moist, and the screws' rust integrated with the wood, making for a very challenging situation.For the money, well, who is really thinking it's right to complain? However I'd like to keep the set I cannot have confidence that the other bits would not fail just the same. So back to shopping, this time for know quality brand products. "Should have known better"

Good value.
The case is cheap crap , typical of discount brands .That being said, the bits are all good quality and excellent value. These were bought to fill in some holes in my selection of 2" & 3" bits, and the bits are better than alot of the more expensive " discount " name brands like ryobi and craftsman.

I Spoke Too Soon
In my initial review I said that the bits work well with my drill. I should have made sure to try all of them before I made my final decision. The bits are very tricky to get out of their holder. They were oiled up before they were placed inside the container but that did not make it easy to remove the bits. I actually had to use needle nose pliers to pull some of them out of their housing. The pieces I had the most problems with were the screwdriver bits. Those are also the pieces that do not work with my drill. The base of the bed isn’t long enough to insert into the drill head so the collar which secures the bit into the drill cannot contain the bit. I’m torn because the pieces for drilling work but I also wanted to be able to use the screwdriver pieces. I just have to decide whether the price I paid is worth only getting half of what I wanted.

Neat little set
outstanding set of most items you will ever need, with a speed loader, comes in a heavy duty plastic case that locks tight. Super fast shipping from this company. Looking to do more business with them

Questionable quality
This product works ok for now, but the magnets came out of the part that goes into the drill the first time I put a bit in it and removed it. It makes me question the quality and durability of the product. Only time will tell.

Great Bit / Adapter Set for Price Point
I can’t keep up with bits / adapters to save my life; so I stopped paying top dollar for top notch sets. This set is a very good compromise of price and quality, and although I’m sure I’ll buy another set within the next 24 months, I’ll enjoy these bits / adapters while I can account for them.

Seems well made, but no way will these fit impact wrench.
The tools have a very short shaft and there is no adaptor included. They will not fit impact wrench without buying an additional adaptor to be securely retained by the wrench.Too early to tell on durability as i am still searching for adaptor to hold tiny bits
