  • Can anyone recommend a good quality and useful impact driver bit set?

    I've always found that 50mm bits are better as they don't need an adapter in the driver. My experience is the magnetic bit holders fail, but I can't find any versatile sets made up exclusively of 50mm bits.

    Are some bit holders/adapters better than others? I've not tried a well regarded brand.

  • Milwaukee shockwave kit for about £15 is good, the holder is partly magnetic but also gets a physical lock, have not in 1 year of hard use had a bit come out. Then either buy more milwaukee shockwave PZ bits as needed, or dewalt extreme (I think is their top level bits?) are also excellent. Plenty of other companies make good stuff too, just be sure to get the black impact stuff not the generally silver non impacting bits.

    Wera's non impacting bits are made from cheese, fine for normal use but not an impact, had a good few literally explode in my face*

    *Using them on a powerful impact they are not rated for, not wera's fault.
