| Metric hex screwdriver bits
I'm looking for a decent set of metric screwdriver bits. I want to be able to put the bits in an electric screwdriver, or my magnetic ratcheting screwdriver. I've looked at a few hobby sites, but I can't find a good set, with multiple sizes, without taking a second mortgage to buy then. I've found a lot of singles. Does anyone have, or know of a good set of metric hex bits? I would like to have 1mm to 3 or 4mm. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner |

Mcmaster is where I got mine, they are singles but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. Search for power bits and you will find them.

Who's got a snap on part number for these? My local rep told me he couldn't get them.

You really do get what you pay for. Personally, I didn't know about the snap on ones when I got mine but I have 3 different sets. Ofna, MIP, and Associated. I would rate the MIP and Associated bits as the best tips I have used. Not cheap, but cheap leads to frustrations. |

Here's a link to the set and adapter. Get it from Amazon, almost 10 bucks cheaper. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003S6...116818&sr=8-14 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002QP...7117031&sr=8-3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. | |

I have the Integy torque driver set C27781 and yeah I know, Integy junk, but amazingly I have not snapped a single head in the three years I have had it. Can't say that for the Hudy drivers I had been collecting.. A friend has the Integy set too and has had no problems. They obviously don't actually manufacture them |

| Re: Metric hex screwdriver bits
I know you want a set that goes into a power driver, but I really prefer a hex wrench where the hex goes the entire length of the tool. I like to dress the end with a file over time to keep things sharp...It really helps in preventing stripped screw heads. I also prefer T-handles to anything with power.
