I have that kit and saw the reviews, including the broken handle, before buying. My problem is that it’s been in the bottom of a tool drawer and I haven’t touched it. The Piquic driver 8-in-one are too good.

I am one of those guys who just fixes things.
A friend at work had this set but the magnet had fallen out of the driver which meant the bits didn't stay in, he was very frustrated as he really liked the set.
He gave it to me to fix and I just glued a new magnet in. Whilst I had it, I was impressed by the smoothness of the ratched, so much so it is in my Amazon list to buy later.
My go to ratchet is a Snap On which is my favourite and of good quality but for a cheap ratchet the Makita impressed me.

Yessir the Snap On SDM11 bit holder is made out of stainless steel for sure

Hello again Doc

Picked up this set in the metric version a few years back. I needed an nut driver for installing a TV for a friend and the local hardware store had the metric version of this set for about 20€.
The bits and nut drivers are good. Pretty much the same quality as the bits that came in a smaller bit set I've got with my Makita cordless drill and get the job done.
That case holds up well bouncing around in my trunk but I took a 6 mm drill to the inlay which made it useable for me and I drilled a addtional hole for one of the nut drivers because I got sick of finagling to get out that bit holder which I'm not a fan of. Mine came very stiff from the factory, never loosened up and was ultimately replaced with a simple magnetic Wiha one.
That ratcheting bit holder isn't that bad and it has about 20 teeth with a OKish but even back drag which make it quite useable. Got not that much use but I tried to tear it apart out of curiousity some moonless night but I couldn't break it. Maybe I'm too weak but I learned that ratcheting screwdrivers weren't a gimmick as I though back then. I only had a oldskool Felo one before that. Very good handle and bits but its mechanism had only 6 or so teeth with a very uneven back drag. So I didn't got the advantage if you had to align the bit with the screw anyway and use two hands to overcome the drag. And so I used it mainly as a normal bit driver

The Makita 1/4” hex Quick Change bit holder is for impact driver and not an extension to the longer bit holder.

The T25 you have been using IS twisted if you look closely, the flutes should be straight. I done it to Torx™ bits too 😆

[idiotburns]

I use these bit based drivers more than most tools, when it comes to daily tasks. Odd about the part not having a good magnetic property.

[jacksmith]

Looks like a pretty nice kit. Some of the comments/reviews and pics i see for products just blows me away. Like did they get a piece that shouldnt have pass QC, or did they intentionally break it after they were done using it for the project they got it for so they could complain and get their money back

[Sylvan_dB]

I suspect the broken handles are less from twisting and more from using the screwdriver as a pry bar.

[chrischambers]

OOOOPS snap-on fan boys all over the world are having a fit. Good job Doc. Keep pulling the curtain back on all the tools you show.

[edyvanea]

I wonder if that Snap-on bit holder is made out of Titanium 🤔 Think it might be …

[piccilos]

How do you feel about nut drivers? Are they worth their space? It's rare a wrench or socket isn't a better option.

[aephix]

I own this kit. I keep it in the car.

[brianlashomb]

I’ve owned some Makita bit sets and haven’t been impressed. Milwaukee has been solid though.

[shawnoen]

What watch? Is that a Sea Dweller? Or Sub no date?

[TutorMystic]

I've been having issues with screws that are non magnetic.

[Danny-elww]

Not sure how someone would break the handle there. If it's not a pry-bar, don't use it like one. Not too sure what people expect lol

[thefulchman]

I just hate these clear plastic tops they put on these cases. That type of plastic is so fragile and I'm sure it will crack easily one day. I'd prefer a nice durable plastic lid that matches the remainder of the case.

That torx looked a little twisted to me
