namhodI second this, I have one of the smaller kits with rubber driver handles and I love it. I'm very tempted by this, but if I buy any more tools my wife will almost certainly murder me with them, and I'm not trying to be an accomplice in my own demise...

RidevaDemocritusMurder by spouse may be avoided through bribery. Makeup bribes work well on mine.

namhodNope, I have tried many small bribes of flowers and gifts of all sorts. The only thing that works is surreptitiously getting a second job that she doesn't know about, but I'm too lazy.

placoNo issues with mine, sorry about your luck.
Mine kit is predominantly used for PC work and knives. The torx bits are holding up great, they are even fairing well against loctite.

RidevaDemocritusYa gotta go with near or equivalent value. Or just randomly something good once or twice a year, to justify your habits.

placoThat's partially because they use Chrome Vandium or 8650 instead of S2 steel. But it's a matter of if you'd rather round off your bits, or the fasteners when you confuse a philips with a frearson bit. I have a precision st with s2 bits, and they will decimate small fasteners if they're over torqued.
