olletsocmit Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I thought this would be a good thread to start & will help a lot of people out when at the store. Post info, links, & pictures of your top three favorite driver bit/drill bit "kits". Then post 2-3 of your favorite bits, attachments, extensions, etc that do not come in the kits you use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just got a set of Wihas in the mail yesterday. All torque bits in cool little case with a driver. I got me on eBay for $12 so a little bit of savings.... http://www.wihatools.com/bits/bit-sets/torxr-bit-selector-set-with-auto-lock-magnetic-bit-holder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olletsocmit Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anyone on here have the shockwave 30° knuckle on their list as one of the things that they use all the time? I think it can be purchased just the knuckle itself but I'm not sure. I noticed today that it's not sold in any stores around me it's one of those online only deals. I have not seen it posted on here very much at all and I'm not sure why, I use my hand ratchet one like this all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Nothing Milwaukee outside of my hole saw kit here. I've got some Dewalt black oxides. They're not bad. I've got the Makita contractor set which is okay. Comparable to the Ryobi basic set. The drill bits are nice though. Then I've got the Festool Centrotec contractors set. Nothing better but I believe all of the bits are actually made by Wiha and the Zobo forstners are made by Festool. The absolute bar none best Forster bits in the world. They have re sharpenable blades and replaceable drill bits in the shaft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recently bought makita set of bits and drill bits I use sometimes. Dont really have a favorite... for work, I mainly use 1/4" & 5/16" nut drivers and Phillips and torx....no real set, just a few bits I put together Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Wihas are by far my must used bits, it's like they were made for what I do and the set is 7, 8, & 10mm, the vast majority of fasteners I'll turn in a work day. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033PR4I0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These VIMs come in a distant second, for reach. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012UT7CMM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And my go-to torx bits, US made SK. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DSSMCBG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER And my all time favorite accessory. Doesn't come out often but saves the day every time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000224AW/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462340608&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=milwaukee+right+angle+drill+attachment Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figureitout Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 what are ppl's thoughts on this... was gonna buy today but didnt I love mine. Reviews claim it's unwieldy and the removable handle falls off to easily and gets lost, I haven't had that problem. It's not for impacts or any high torque application, I did break one that way. Milwaukee has a similar one that's a bit tougher for $50, and it's a true right angle. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT that one is impact rated, I think I'd recommend getting a version that is impact rated, I know Milwaukee and Dewalt have impact rated versions...If you can find one of the 30 degree Milwaukees at HD, they should be clearanced at $6 but I doubt there will be many of those left.

olletsocmit Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I asked about this last night and figured I would just buy it. when I went to Home Depot to ask where it was the Milwaukee rep said its discontinued and just gave it to me free! it looks like something I'll use quite a lot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat that price! I've got the Dewalt angle attachment and so far so good. I use it mostly on a couple pieces of furniture we have. Nothing heavy duty at all, but works well for what I needed it to. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 20 degrees and this is 30. The one thing I don't like is how big it is and the huge ball/hinge. Thr Dewalt one is so much skinnier. This looks much stronger thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
