Screwdriver bits are different - generally I just lose them rather than break them. So I'm quite happy with Laser bits rather than a full set of Snap On ones. I do buy the #2 Philips ones from time to time (as I did today) as I use those the most, and they do wear less than cheaper ones. Plus they are anti-bounce, which is actually really useful. But I'll still lose it in no time

I once made the mistake of buying reeeeeeeeally cheap screw driver bits (like, pound shop style ones) and they lasted all of about 30 seconds
Ye I see what you are saying, I don't really think I will be using the tools enough mind to justify it (do fuck all at the minute) but I deffo agree with avoiding pound style ones,

saying that, I'd love one of these setups
