They are a good bit of kit, the best I've ever tried bought the set in the link below on special back when it was $2 to £1 exchange rate, so cost about £150, the slotted bits are almost 1 time use, made of glass or something. I used mine mostly for disk/drum screws.

I'm far from being a snap on fan but some of there stuff really is very good, this tool being one and their HD bit drivers, the ones that are yellow plated.

way nicer than the Hilka one that everyone used to try and take the covers off your FS1E with , before anyone knew about JIS screws ,,,

They are still a very useful tool

I think the Teng TTID20 is really good value given the bits it comes with and is a decent brand

You often see the old logo ones at auto jumbles cheap I think mine was £5 with no ends but I just use Halfords or what ever is to hand, its never failed yet

My first one was a Hilka as far as I remember, bought it over 40 years ago, still got it but the bits get stuck in the 1/2" end fitting. My latest was from Cromwell, nice piece of kit but the bits are like cheese, one good blow with the hammer and all x point bits broke, good job it's not used that often.
