That is the screw heads were stronger than the screw bit. Impressed at first and disappointed now. But after a few months and having to install window blinds I became disappointed with the results. The screw bits did not hold the screws. Instead of leaving the job incomplete I resorted to my old (1973 vintage) Craftsman ratchet screwdriver and the original bit that came with it to finish the job. I made a specific point to match the screw head with the screw bit so that the job would be easier.
Really wrong. In the beginning (sounds familiar) there was a really good looking set of screw bits that actually worked fairly well with light screwing. Now that is wrong. I additionally pre-screwed the holes to make it further easier. Then came the surprise. If anything the screw head should be the first to go but not with these bits.
Now that's wrong.
I never hesitate to buy DeWalt products because I know they will be good. This little kit comes in its own sturdy YELLOW box, so everything will be kept in one place and will be easy to find.
this is a great set, and it practically got to me over-night (with standard shipping). the only problems i have with this set (in no particular order) are:A) The pieces are a real pain to get in and outB) i can't fit the case in my drill case (i have a DC750KA) but that's not a real problemC) it's not really 37-piece because they give you more than one of the same bit C.1) i know this adds up to 45 that's because i went by number of heads not bits6 - SQ2 Square head1 - SQ1 Square head1 - SQ3 Square head1 - Long P2 Phillips head1 - Long SQ2 Square head3 - Double Sided P2 head3 - Double Sided Combo P2/SL8(flat-head)1 - Double Sided Combo P3/SL10(flat-head)1 - Double Sided Combo P1/SL6(flat-head)1 - P1 Phillips head10 - P2 Phillips head1 - P3 Phillips head6 - SQ2 Square head1 - SQ1 Square head1 - SQ3 Square head2 - SL8 Flat head1 - SL6 Flat head1 - SL10 Flat head3 - Magnetic drivers
I expected the bits in this set to work with my Dewalt impact driver, funny some may say, but true. However, all of the double-headed bits are not keyed, so they just fall right out of the driver, and since that was one of the main reasons I purchased the set, it was disappointing. The smaller bits can be used in the magnetic extender, but they fall out fairly often also.
This is a very nice set has 90% of the stuff you need the only problem I had with it was getting the tool out of the box and you cannot put it back in the slot is so tight I broke a fingernail trying to put it back into the box slot. if you are married or have girlfriend have them do it. You do not have to worry about them falling out at all very nice set.
