2 year review: screwdriver bit sets

I've had this tool set for about 2 years now and I love it. I tell people all the time that this is my favorite tool in my toolbox that I carry to work. As amazing as it is, it does have a few downsides. The first downside is that the extension is quite wide, making it impossible to access the bolts in hard-to-reach places. Second, the extension cord and screwdriver are magnetic. So if there is a lot of metal dust where you work, you must leave the bits in, otherwise it will get in where the bits sit, which can cause problems. but that magnetism can be positive to hold the smaller studs if you're trying to run them. Another downside is that the ratchet switch is easy to flip accidentally, which can be annoying. I ended up breaking the holder at the pivot of the bit holder, but I just bought HAPPY another one (you can just buy the holder separately but I wanted replacement parts for it). But you can find something wrong with any tool. Now about pluses. You have everything you need for many different jobs. Everything from furniture to industrial tools, I use it or at least carry it with me because it comes in handy most of the time. Also, the ratchet has fine teeth, so if you're working in a tight spot, you can still use a ratchet. The hex bits are also shorter than a regular hex wrench, making those hard-to-reach places more accessible. This tool kit is very adaptable to the job you are working on, I personally added 2 hex bits. I'm sure there are many more positives, but for me it's an easy purchase and I take it with me wherever I need tools.
