DEWALT Screwdriver Bit Set with Tough Case, 45-Piece (DW2166), Grey/Silver Screwdriving Set with Tough Case

As someone who frequently tackles a variety of projects, from intricate electronics repairs to robust construction tasks, the reliability of my tools is paramount. A good screwdriver bit set is the unsung hero in any toolkit, and DeWalt's offerings often stand out. After extensive use, here's an insightful review of a typical DeWalt screwdriver bit set, focusing on what truly matters to the user.First Impressions & Build QualityUpon unboxing a DeWalt bit set, the immediate impression is one of robust, professional-grade quality. The bits are typically housed in a durable, often clear-lidded case that allows for quick identification of contents, which is a small but significant detail when you're in the middle of a job. The case itself is usually designed to withstand drops and abuses common on a job site, featuring reinforced hinges and secure latches.The bits themselves feel substantial. Made from hardened steel, they exhibit a notable heft and a precise finish. DeWalt commonly uses a black oxide coating, which not only gives them a sleek look but also provides corrosion resistance, extending their lifespan, especially in damp environments.Performance & DurabilityThis is where DeWalt bits truly shine. The precise machining ensures a snug fit with fasteners, significantly reducing cam-out – the frustrating phenomenon where the bit slips out of the screw head. This not only protects the fastener but also prevents damage to the workpiece and, more importantly, minimizes the risk of injury to the user.

Nice kit, great holder, easy to use, they work great.

I am beyond happy with this purchase. Quality and durable drill pieces. The variety is amazing. Has everything you would need to do your daily tests around the house and handyman issues. Very durable quality materials and the storage is very organized. Grips screws like magic and looks terrific.

This bit set is a must-have for any DIY enthusiast or professional who needs a reliable and durable set of screwdriver bits. I recently purchased this set and have been extremely impressed with its quality and performance.First off, the set comes in a sturdy and well-organized tough case that keeps the bits organized and easy to find. The case is also compact and easy to store, making it perfect for those who need to take their tools on the go.The set includes a wide range of screwdriver bits, including Phillips, slotted, square, and Torx bits, as well as a magnetic drive guide. The bits are made of high-quality steel and are designed to withstand heavy use and abuse.The magnetic drive guide is a great addition, making it easy to keep the screws in place while you work.Overall, I highly recommend this set to anyone who needs a reliable set of screwdriver bits for their DIY or professional projects. The set is well-made, durable, and comes in a convenient case that keeps everything organized and easy to find. It's definitely worth the investment!

The bits work fine. To answer others' criticisms of the case, the case isn't that bad. Yes it can be a little bit of a pain to get the bits back in, but come on people! You are tough do-it-yourselfers, get over it! All things considered, it's a great value.On to the drill bits: The double-ended bits are long enough that they can be used directly in your drill. The single-ended bits can be used directly in a handheld driver but they're too short to go in a drill by themselves. Fortunately several driver extensions are included: there are 2"- and 3"-long extensions with 1/4" drivers and one 2"-long 5/16" driver. The drivers have magnets to hold the bits in. If your drill has a magnetic surface used to keep screws and bits handy you're in luck because these bits will stick to that too.I do wish there was more variety so I'm taking off one star for that. For example, of the 32 single-ended bits, 14 are Phillips P2s. 3 of the 8 double-ended bits are P2/P2 bits. Also 6 out of the 8 square bits are SQ2s. I would have preferred more variety, like more Torx bits, more P1s and P3s, and just other types of bits altogether like Hex heads.Here's a list of what's included:Drivers:1x 2"-long 1/4" driver1x 3" long 1/4" driver1x 2"-long 5/16" driverDouble-ended bits1x P1/SL63x P2/P22x P2/SL81x P3/SL10Single-ended Phillips1x P114x P2 (really? 14?

Very nicely made.

I only do minor projects in my home and these are perfect for my needs. A brand I trust, good value, good variety of bits and sizes. These worked very well hanging gegboards and assembling furniture.Easy to load and secure in my Black and Decker cordless drill.Nice organizing case too. Compact design fits this box and the drill bit box of the same size in a box with my drill, battery, and charger. Now I can take 1 box from the garage and have everything I need in one place to get the job done.

This is a great compact set that I was able to put in my nearly matching rather compact traveling tool kit. There’s nothing cheap about it, the real deal and very useful.
