Bought to finish Master Kit by BROWNELLS

Bought to finish Master Kit by BROWNELLS, more to fill all the holes in box so I'd stop looking for bits I thought I'd misplaced or lost

Great quality

These bits are well made, and they fix great. No "Slack" or wiggle when you use them on screws/fasteners. I use them often and highly recommend them.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Good bits, marking size would improve

Bits are hard enough to get the job done. Cheaper to get a set, especially the "Other" set that includes 7 extra bits more than the Hex set, for only $1.00 more. Check it out! I got the Hex bit set to replace two bits on my Wheeler Fat wrench set. They were shorter than the Wheeler original bits, but will work OK. I put the other 8 bits in the case with the Fat Wrench. Hate that the bits don't have size marked on them. Wheeler's bits don't either. You can find the size in the master kit diagram. I would bye again.

A Bit Disappointing

It's nice to have these for the magna-tip set but at least on the two sets I have, the "corners" are rounded and the bits will occasionally slip if the bolt is tight.

Comes up short

Needs 2 more sizes, one smaller, one larger

Waste of time.

Brownell's web site lists the 185 series of numbers for hex Magna-Bits but doesn't list the hex sizes. It refers to a chart but I was not able to locate the chart on the web site.
