Review on πŸ”§ 20-Piece Hex Head Allen Wrench Drill Bit Set - Metric and SAE S2 Steel Hex Bits with Magnetic Tips - 2.3" Long in Storage Box by Eric Beck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A precise set of bits that only requires color.

This set of SAE hex bits and metric units arrived on time. Each little clear box was labeled and inside was a label advising that the bits were coated in anti-rust oil, so I spent 15 minutes wiping them down with paper towels and glass cleaner, which worked great. I was disappointed to find that the 2 SAE sizes (9/64") were duplicated and the 7/64 truncated, which is only amazing if you have perfect eyesight to read the tiny, inconsistent size stamps I used vernier calipers to compare some commonly used (in RC) metric sizes to my high quality Wera drivers I found them acceptably close but you can decide for yourself if they are close enough Amartisan and then Wera sizes: 1.5mm, 1.50mm, 1.43mm, 2.0mm, 1.90mm, 1.93mm, 2.5mm, 2.44mm, 2.44mm, 3.0mm, 2.92mm 2.90mm Function They fit in the box provided but the magnetization makes it difficult to order them with the size above where you can see them I will rub some white paint off the numbers and maybe something like a dimple holder or color coding system to aid in identification that would make their little boxes obsolete labels and legible dimensions or color on the tool would be worth a dollar or five more. I rate them 2 stars because I find the sets to me, while reasonably accurate, to be incomplete for readability and therefore usability, and in the case of SAE sizes, physically incomplete due to the lack of a size. Update 11/08/19: The nice folks at Amartisan sent me a complete second set of these drivers containing the missing bit. Now that I've touched up the stamped size markings a bit, I'm very happy with this set of ear tips and have upgraded my rating to 4 stars accordingly. Kudos to this Revain seller who corrected an oversight without asking me.
