Bits are everywhere. In toolboxes, with cordless screwdrivers, as promotional items, as extras with spare parts…
What do many of these bits have in common?
That’s right, poor quality. And often rust. During our house renovation, we purchased a bit set from Bosch Professional in the hope that the higher price would mean higher quality. And I was not disappointed: hundreds, if not thousands, of screws have just been screwed in with the Torx bits. And not exactly gently, often with full torque, applied at an angle, etc. Wear and tear is minimal, and not a single bit has broken off so far. The advertised S2 steel is proving effective.
The really good extension with locking function is also not to be sneezed at. The sleeve extension is a real insider tip, especially for slotted screws, to prevent the bit from slipping out sideways.
We now have a second set as a spare. The item number at Bosch is “2607017164*” and the set is often on sale; we paid €15.99 for it. It was a good purchase!
