Milwaukee and Dewalt make really good drill bits.
Yes and no. Check the second picture in the product description page I linked for a comparison between the latest version (1000) and the old one, which I have (5575).Quote:

This thread reminded me that I needed a set of screwdrivers - So I ordered the ball handled Vessel @OlongJohnson linked to and this set of insulated Wihas: https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-32080-In...267807&sr=8-35
Both should be here tomorrow. Just in time for me to replace two GFIC plugs in the house.
I know, I know. I need some 1/4 impact driver bits for drilling pilot holes.Quote:

If you like surly drunken Canadians talking about tools, then you will love AVE.

German Tool Reviews on YouTube also has some incredible (and lengthy) breakdowns of tools from an Engineer's perspective.
If looking for USA made stuff, Klein, Southwire, Crescent, and some DeWalt stuff are good options. Check your labels though because some lines are USA made and some are not. Wera is the other "W" brand that makes a ton of high quality and affordable offerings. They are built in the Czech Republic and have a big following #werarebels
I have a few Tekton hand tools from one of my preferred tool/workwear shops and they are of excellent quality from I have seen. Especially their torx drivers.
If you're using your screwdriver as a screwdriver, not a pry bar, get the Snap On ratcheting bit holders. Get the long and short handles and the long, medium and short shafts. Then invest in a good battery operated screw gun/drill motor. I like the DeWalt.
I remove and install screws everyday. With the exception of small screws and specialty fasteners like Torx, I ditched the fixed style screwdrivers years ago and won't go back.
I just spent a few minutes looking for Makita Shockwave 1/4 drill bits for impact drivers and didn't find what I was looking for. What I want is something like this Bosh set or maybe just this Bosch set? I'm ready to order today; I've got blisters from splitting wood and need to get back to working on my back deck rebuild.Quote:

The Shockwave is Milwaukee. Makita doesn't have impact driver drill bits out yet.Quote:
