In modern construction operations, many fasteners have to be twisted and unscrewed. This can be done quickly and easily with a power tool. But sometimes a worn or broken bit becomes a problem. This happens most often due to mistakes of the master or due to the use of very powerful screwdrivers and drills. So that the work does not stop due to poor-quality equipment, you should have a set of bits with you. With their help, you can cope with any screws, screws or self-tapping screws. How do you find a good set of accessories for your power tool?

Bit selection criteria

1. The first step is to determine the scope of the kit. If in the process of professional activity you have to deal with a variety of fasteners, then you should go broke and buy the most complete set of bits.
2. Some finishers or furniture makers have to use the same tooling in their work. They would like to have quality beats close at hand that have multiple doubles.
3. Affordable price pushes some consumers to buy kits made in China. Most of them are a disposable tool that wears out after screwing in a dozen screws. Only licensed products manufactured under the supervision of well-known companies meet all quality requirements.
4. A magnetic holder is often a useful addition to a kit. Users have the most conflicting requirements for it. Some are unhappy with a weak attraction, others want to see a less powerful magnet. It is only through practice that the ideal holder can be determined.
5. When choosing a set of bits, the convenience and spaciousness of the case plays an important role. The rig must be securely fixed in the seat. But with a slight hand movement, the bits should be easily removed.

1. rich assortment;
2. quality of steel;
3. design and convenience;

HITACHI 754000 (100 pcs.)

Rating: 4.9

The most complete set of bits is available in the HITACHI 754000 set (100 pcs.). At the same time, the equipment is sold at an affordable price. Don't expect super-properties from bits. But unlike Chinese products, HITACHI products are able to serve their owner for a long time with a careful attitude. Experts recommend avoiding severe overloads, preventing stall rotation, and the bits will last long enough. The manufacturer deliberately took such a move, duplicating each item. And the most demanded bits have 5-7 doubles. If you operate the equipment in a moderate mode, then the set will last at least 5 years.

Bosch 2607017164 (43 pcs.)

Rating: 4.8

Worthy competition to the winner of the rating was provided by a set of bits of the famous German company Bosch. It includes 43 pieces and is more expensive than the 100-bit HITACHI set. Therefore, the experts gave the applicant only the second line. The main advantage of this set is its high quality. Although Bosch 2607017164 is made in China, but the European grand strictly monitors the quality of manufacture. Bits are made from tool steel grades, parts go through all stages of heat treatment.

The set consists of 6 bits 75 mm long and 32 pieces 25 mm. In addition, the set includes several quick-change and universal magnetic holders. And if users have no complaints about the bits, then some holders are not able to reliably fix the bits. All rigs fit neatly into the case.

Advantages

• high bit strength;

• the presence of magnetic holders;

• convenient case;

disadvantages

• weak work of the holders.

Best premium bit sets

Everyday work with a screwdriver requires quality bits. The best samples are presented in the premium segment. Here are some of the kits that have been praised by the experts.

Metabo 626704000 (71 pcs.)

Rating: 4.9

The German Metabo 626704000 bit set (71 pieces) is an example of not only quality, but also attractiveness. Each element of the kit is made very aesthetically, emphasizing the accuracy of the owner. Experts point out the optimal combination of iron, vanadium and chromium in the composition of steel, thanks to which it was possible to obtain a wear-resistant tool. To make it easier for the master to navigate the abundance of bits, each series with a specific slot has a special color coding.

The selection of bits does not cause complaints from users. There are all popular models in 25 and 75 mm lengths. The set has a compact and convenient case that does not take up much space in the pantry or garage. In all respects, Metabo 626704000 deserves to be the winner of our ranking.

Advantages

• a large assortment of bits;

• high quality of the metal used;

• beautiful design;

disadvantages

• high price.

Milwaukee Shockwave (56 pcs.)

Rating: 4.8

The engineers chose an unusual form of rigging when developing the Milwaukee Shockwave set (56 pcs.). All beats are created according to the Shock Zone concept. This has a beneficial effect on the fracture resistance of the tool at increased loads. But not only the unique geometry contributes to the high durability of objects. Impact resistance is ensured by internal elasticity. It was possible to achieve such qualities of the metal due to the competent selection of the steel grade and innovative heat treatment technology.

Milwaukee Shockwave bits have been praised for the strength and durability of Milwaukee Shockwave bits. The case is made of high-quality plastic and equipped with reliable latches. But the slots on the bits, which were not widely used in Russia, did not allow the set to become the winner of the rating.

Advantages

• unusual geometric shape;

• compact and effective case;

• strength and durability;

disadvantages

• American slots standards.

Makita B-36170 (47 pcs.)

Rating: 4.7

A worthy third place in our rating is occupied by the Japanese set of bits Makita B-36170 (47 pieces). The experts highly appreciated the quality of the tooling, which is based on durable chrome vanadium steel. Domestic users are also pleased with the presence of all running bits in the kit, starting with a straight slot and ending with a star-shaped one. The manufacturer has completed the set with socket heads, they are presented in sizes 5-11 mm. Here consumers will also find an effective magnetic holder.

Although the bit set is designed for a power tool, it also contains a regular screwdriver. It will help out with a discharged screwdriver battery or while working in narrow deep niches. The affordable price for the premium kit should also be noted.

Advantages

• high quality bits;

• affordable price;

• end heads;

disadvantages

• backlash in the bit holder.

Best bit sets: minicases

Compactness and limited set of bits are becoming the main advantage of minicases. Many professionals appreciate the small size of the pencil case, which has everything you need to work. The experts have chosen several high-quality mini-cases.

Ryobi 5132002257 (40 pcs.)

Rating: 4.9

The most capacious and complete mini-case in our rating is the Ryobi 5132002257 set (40 pcs.). However, the experts gave first place to this set of bits not for the rich content. The main reason for being at the top of the pedestal was the high quality of each individual piece. All running bits have doublers, both in the 25 mm version and among the 50 mm long accessories. But high-strength tool steel rarely wears out only if the owner makes the simplest mistakes while working.

Despite the low price, users in the reviews report a long service life of the kit. You can only find fault with the design of the magnetic holder. It is made in the form of a long sleeve that is pressed onto a hex shank.

Advantages

• quality bits;

• standby bits for running bits;

• affordable price;

• rich assortment of accessories;

disadvantages

• poor design of the magnetic holder.

Bosch X-Pro 2607017037 (25 pcs.)

Rating: 4.8

Experts consider the Bosch X-Pro 2607017037 mini case (25 pieces) to be a simple and effective set of bits. Its compactness and practicality are ideally combined with the reliability of each element. The set includes both standard short bits (25 mm) and extended bits (50 mm). The design of the case received special praise from users. Inside there are convenient inclined clips, thanks to this arrangement, the bits can be removed with one movement of the hand.

As for the disadvantages of the kit, the experts gave the second line of the rating to the applicant for the simplicity of design, a modest assortment of nozzles and not the most effective magnetic holder.

Advantages

• compactness and reliability;

• the presence of elongated nozzles;

• convenient case with inclined clips;

disadvantages

• simple design;

• a modest assortment of bits;

• weak magnetic holder;
