I bought these in November at this price and use them several times per week. I have yet to break or round a single bit and I've been really happy with the purchase overall

Heads up everyone. This is garbage. Probably the worst bits I've ever used.

I see posts like this a lot and without supporting details it's useless. FWIW I purchased this back on BF as I liked the case and found a lot of 3D insert plans that meant the ability to create a customized case for what I wanted to put into it w/out needing to purchase a bunch of kits just to get the holders. I'm not one who insists on purchasing a specific brand out of loyalty, I make the purchase for what best fits my needs, for example when I purchased my impact it was the one on the market with the highest torque at the time. That said I've got the Dewalt DCB887 impact which has up to 1825 in-lbs of torque and I've yet to break a bit from this kit and yes I've had it up to the max torque setting as I was driving some T25 5 5/8 GRK screws through some LVLs among other things. In addition to using them in the impact I also use a few in a 12v cordless drill as well as 12v impact from time to time and have had no issues with them in those breaking as well.

The one thing that everyone thinks is that they can drive any screw or fastener into a board w/out predrilling and while that's true a lot it's not gospel. A while back I began using the self drilling screws and it's amazing how much easier they go into materials also as a perk many are torx vs the traditional phillips. If you're trying to ram home a 3 inch drywall screw into fresh pine it will likely not be a problem but a 6" w/out predrilling or wax on it and your bit is more likely to break. In case you are questioning it a small block of bees wax works great for reducing the friction of a screw during application.

So keep in mind that everyone uses things differently. By that I mean not only if they use these in a drill vs impact but what they are using for fasteners as well as material it's going into make a big difference. Sure these aren't the top of the line bits but for what most homeowners need they'll do just fine. Also if you don't need to run a 6" hex bit don't, use the 2" if you can as it has less chance of breaking. As for those 1" bits some people love them, I'm not one as I like to keep bits on my impact to easily switch between and most holders are best suited for the 2".

Hopefully this feedback helps.

Oh I'm a borderline DeWalt fanboy. But I wouldn't touch these with a 10 foot pole.

I can't speak to this set specifically, but my smaller set of these rusted terribly. Only thing in my toolbox I've ever seen that happen to.

Did you buy from amazon? You possibly got counterfeit non impact bits

Nope. Home Depot. During the Black Friday time. Within and hour I snapped both T25 long bits driving deck screws in regular pine. Philips lasted a couple of hours.

I don't understand these bit sets. Who would need these duplicate bits for $20?

They make impact bits flex to resist breaking under an impact gun but they still expect you to break tons and tons of bits. Look at any impact bits and half of the set is just PH2 bits.

It's pretty wild.

Look at the shelves in the big box stores and most of the screws are PH2 bits so that supports the thought. Also a phillips bit is more likely to break than those of the torx or even robertson (square). Looking back at it the PH2 bits are more likely to strip out than others due to the design.
