I picked this set up and thought it would be better than my previous set from Lowes, but it seems to be the same quality. I'm having trouble with a shower being cold, so to access the internal assembly and adjust it I had to use an allan key. Screw is stripped so allan key did not work. I drilled the screw using one of these. THE BIT BROKE IN HALF.
I gotta imagine everyone on slickdeals owns atleast 5 bit sets at this point
Yes!! They seem like a great deal, but all of these sets are filled with bits that I'll never use. 90% of the time I use P2 bits, other times I use square and small star bits for more specialized screws. Does anyone ever use the straight bits, P1 or P3's?? Those will all end up at my estate sale.

Like previous comment says, use Milwaukee. Also use COBALT Milwaukees for metal jobs.
On a side note, always drill away from all body parts.
Not here to defend Ryobi, but from your image the broken bit is one of the brad-point drill bits. Brad point drill bits are meant for wood/soft materials AFAIK. From the geometry of the bit one can tell brad points will not drill into metal efficiently.

You have to own 5 bit sets so you can have at least one non-broken 1/16" bit

These will be more than you need for most household stuff, mostly drywall and wood. At this price, buy a couple sets!
