That 'identical' impact ready set has the yellow torq band you see as red on the Milwaukee, green/blue on the Makita, etc. Before they came out with that colored torq deal, everyone used the OP in impacts and screw guns as being all we had. Nevertheless, all of the DeWalt bits, reciprocating blades, etc. are a bit soft.... and why they are cheap.
Finally had an excuse to use these and another set with those extendable wood screw holders that were on here a while back.
The bit holders were too big to fit into holes housing the screws (recessed holes) I was lucky that my old craftsman set had one bit holder narrow enough to fit into the hole. But longer Phillips bits would have worked too, which I later found I had after I finished assembling the furniture. (Of course)
Bits would also fall off into the hole sometimes, so having multiple bits helped. My magnet was also too wide for the hole not much wider than the screw.
So I'd suggest picking up some longer Phillips bits too if you don't already have them
Have several of these sets and they rock. Will cover 95% of your driving needs (other than hex) and are very strong.
Have several of these sets and they suck. Will disappoint 95% of your driving needs (other than hex) and are very trash. Stick with Makita or Bosch if you want proper bit and not complete trash.

You had a narrower shaft holder, so you were good. But, if you did not, you could take one of these included cheap bit holders with a bit in it to spin between fingers on each end, over to the bench grinder and narrow it down like your Craftsman. Cheaper than buying a decent longer one type of bit and becomes part of your tool arsenal to hold any type of bit you already have in these variety packs.
Granted, a lathe hobbyist could make look like factory, but a bench grinder or belt sander will work.

Why not? Before the more recent 'Torq' bits as a sales pitch 'impact rated,' these tempered black bits are what everyone used in impacts and screw guns.
Old school, I prefer these or a better quality for a solid feel. Whatever that colored membrane on the DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, etc., is made of, it is designed to give when torquing and I cannot always tell if the screw actually moved a fraction I wanted, or it was the bit twisting.

I just went into the store to pick one of these up today and they were only $4.99 in store. It looked to be the same sale, but the total was only $5 instead of $7, but YMMV. There were also other DeWalt tools on sale for $5, even though the website listed them on sale at $7.
