My current bit sets are all miss matched at this point. It drives me crazy. I need something as organized and as good as my Craftsman socket set.

@musashi66 I'm not sure how useful this is going to be but I tend to favour screwdriver bits from Bordo and Bosch and Sutton drill bits. Since they are wear parts, I consider them to be consumables with limited lifespans.

@jminer Ryobi set is almost the same as the DeWalt ones I have. I am hoping for something bigger to basically replace all the small kits I have.

@thebarber wasn't matco sold along with sk? I hear echoes in my head this is how it was, but could just be old farts between my ears.

@gettingoldercarguy Danaher use to own Matco so I believe the forgings were their own. Danaher spun off Matco into Fortive in 2016 which is now Vontier. So I would assume its still in house? But I have no idea. Someone told me back in the day that they came from Stanley but it's like the one thing Stanley doesn't own/make. Stanley makes Craftsman, Husky, Irwin, DeWalt, Mac Tools, Porter-Cable, HeliCoil, Gripco, Bostich, Black & Decker, Blackhawk, Proto and many many others.

The Makita bit kits have been the best for me, a philips #2 lasts me several times longer than the Milwaukee ones. The DeWalt ones have been the shortest lived

@musashi66 complete left field option with narrow application, but the best flat blade screwdrivers I ’ve ever found is a set of gunsmith drivers. Hollow ground flat bits of every width and girth, makes removing and installing flat screws so easy and really eliminates stripping. I use my set for way more than just firearms. I have this kit: https://www.homedepot.com/p/WHEELER-Engineering-72-Piece-Professional-Gunsmithing-Screwdriver-Set-776737/313210831?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US

@bandit No need for that level of precision with flat heads but I am happy you posted this. I does make perfect sense to have a close tolerance fit for those applications. I can't wait to tell more people this exists.

@musashi66 I have this set of Walther drill bits, they’ve held up way better than anything I’ve used previously. https://www.amazon.ca/Walter-Surface-Technologies-01E118-Quick-Shank/dp/B00L59BS1K

SK is owned by Hangzhou GreatStar Industrial now who also owns Arrow and ShopVac. I tell ya right now I can use my dad's old Arrow stapler like a hammer, the one I bought a couple of years ago? Hardly functions as a doorstop.

For impact sets, I actually think my DeWalt ones are pretty good, no complaints. I can’t justify getting Snap-On or Proto ones, that’s for sure.

@eric proto is nice. If I have a few gear wrench sets fail I go proto. I still have a bunch of sk from decades ago. Those will outlast my ass for sure.

I remember when my Matco driver was carrying Gearwrench on the truck. I didn't realize Danaher owned them as well (at the time). Now Gearwrench is owned by Apex Tool Group by the way of Bain Capital. Apex also makes SATA tools and Crescent.

Oppo, is there a good recommended screwdriver bit set with all sorts of drivers in all sizes? Any good, sharp and durable drill bits in all sizes?

Omega has a pretty good selection of standard drill bits for metalwork (jobber drill bits). They also have all of the above brands on their site. Some good tool porn on there.

I have two sets of sockets (metric and imperial) that I have owned for over 40 years and I have not had to mix and match them.

@eric Well the Weras have a bit more of a premium on them but they are a little more swag. I would say all of these are peak quality. The Zephyrs give you the most customizability if you are in an industry that needs that. I don't know the exact grade Zephyrs that Snap-On sells but they do way better compared to my store bought bits. Unfortunately I've seen them more likely to shatter (vs roll or crack) at end of life and then someone has to come over and borrow my Matco bits. I really wish I could find who makes those (Matco). I've heard good things about the Weras and I especially like the diamond coating you can get to resist cam outs. I might have to splurge on a set next month.

@musashi66 Makes sense, I'd had a couple big black and decker kits with everything in it, but the bits never lasted long. I've not seen a big driver kit from a trusted brand.

I have like 7 boxes of DeWalt bits and tips, but I’d really like to consolidate into one set of bits and one set of tips.
