Can anyone recommend these for the price? I'm looking to upgrade from my inexpensive ryobi set.

The cases holding the bits are the dumbest design ever. You need pliers to get them out. I have cut myself trying to remove them before.

This is absolutely right! I have this set and it is impossible to get the smaller bits out without pliers or cutting yourself trying to pull with just your fingers. Also, the smaller bits seem more brittle than other brands. I cannot recommend this set at all.

i think its a good purchase, I have not had to use pliers to remove mine at all. the holders rotate out so that its easier to grip the bit. The first time it is very snug but after that its much better.

Brittle. Breaks easily. Love my Milwaukee stuff. This at bottom of my list tho. Have broken several of the bits. We're not even abused.

I don't understand why it's so tough for manufacturers to make a proper case. It's not just Milwaukee, it's every single one I've tried. They're all bulky, wasting lots of space, difficult to extract, flimsy, or some combination of the lot.

Negative. You will want a bit made specifically for tile. I use this type:

I love Milwaukee, but their bits are trash. I have really been impressed by my Bosch cobalt drill bits.

Amen. I've got a big tool set in a standard plastic folding case, and I literally need to use a tool to get the tools out. The design team should create a prototype first and try it out. Then back to the drawing board to make it user-friendly.laugh out loud

These are damn good bits for the price. I put mine through hell and back only broke one. And for the people having trouble removing the bits from the case the part where the bit lock into, leans forward so you can get a grip on the entire drill bit to pull it out
