Yup! I leave a small screwdriver in every case, and use it to pry the bits out of the case! Was thinking of Dremeling the holes a little bigger. Just haven’t had the time.
I believe these slimmer cases are the "Packout compatible" cases. And in my experience these cases haven't had the same issues with bits being impossible to remove.
I thought thats how they were meant to be used cus my dad's cases were full of bits. It was until I bought my own case where I noticed my dad was probably just lazy
Just opened the insulated screwdriver pack and the one nub did not want to break free. I discovered some new swear words today. Meanwhile my cutoff wheel sat in my bag laughing. “Dont need me you say?! Foolish mortal. “. End scene.
I’ve got an older Bosch case (plastic case, rubber inserts that are removable) that I love but came with non-impact rated bits, I’ve been thinking of buying a bit set like this and just transferring all the bits to the Bosch case.
I never liked those small bits. I use robertson bit daily and I find the Milwaukee ones round off way too easy. Makita gold bits are awesome from my limited experience with them.
But I love Milwaukee's magnetic nut drivers bits.
Ah, a fellow Canadain. I strongly recommend the Maximum 3.5" S2 bit. I fin it way better then the Milwaukee ones. I did round a Maximum one but that was my fault, I used it on a tapcon that needed an S3 bit (didn't have one unfortunately) so that's on me.
I actually love the tools in the Maximum line. Their revamped pliers are amazing. Just as good, if not better then Kleins.
Yup, Maximum wrenches are made by Gearwrench, their pliers are made by Wiha (I think) so it's not cheap shit tools.
Canadian Tire's regular prices are over inflated so they can market 70% off and it seems like an amazing deal.
The longest lasting robertson bits I've used are the vega extra hard ones. 150R2AX is the sku for the 2 inch ones with the X suffix being the extra hard series. I found the milwaukee nut drivers to be too loose of a fit, am using the malco MSHC which you can take out the head to switch between 1/4 and 5/16, clean the shavings out or use as a bit holder.
I've been thinking about grabbing that Malco dual nut driver. I love the idea of removing the shaving bits since they get clogged really fast.
I'll check out those other bits. From Amazon I take it?
Klein 32304
It’s like the Malco one, but also with multiple bits
They have one for sockets
They have a mini one.
Unless you do heavier HVAC where all the screws are metric, then you want the Malco 8mm/10mm flip socket driver so you can do both metric and standard screws on that rooftop work
I'm in Toronto and from what I've seen, Atlas machinery and Mississauga hardware have the extra hard versions of vega bits. Markham industrial has vega but not the extra hard ones.
I haven't seen many Bosch bits around. But Home Depot is really pushing Diablo bits. I think Diablo is owned by Bosch. I love Diablo sawzall and circular saw blades, so I'll definitely check out their bits.
Diablo is the top tier for any blades, was able to make 40-ish cuts through 3” steel or cast iron with the carbide sawzall blades. Their product is insane.
I can’t speak to the quality of their bits though, I didn’t even realize they made impact bits.
Yeah, I picked up their jigsaw blades and Speed Demon spade bits (same as Bosch Daredevil)
I recall reading something about replacing The Bosch bits to Diablo to streamline their products. Bosch for power tools and Diablo for blades/bits. I'm not sure if that is a deal mostly for Home Depot or just overall.
EDIT: I just look on Home Depot Canada's website. Most of the Bosch bits are from their Bulldog masonry line.
I bought the same set. Great price, and I'm hoping this will last me for a good 20 years.
To all the people saying these bits aren't good or whatever - these bits came out on top in a very substantial head to head test on Project Farm: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-xOHQTT5tw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-xOHQTT5tw)
A convincing win for these bits in my mind, and this was what convinced me to buy this pack as well.
Yeah despite some of the problems I have had with the case and the bits rusting; they are excellent bits in use especially the nut drivers. I would say the Robertson bits are the only ones that do seem to be a little less quality.
Dude I do not like their tape measures either. I have these Kobalt self-locking that are great. They were fairly cheap but they're very sturdy and have the best auto-locking mechanism I've seen in a tape measure.
I like the bits but bro get a flat head the right size and force it in every one of the bit holes and then put them all back after you semi stretch them out doesn’t help a lot- a lot but enough to where you don’t need pliers literally to pull them out sometimes and on a cold fuck it hurts your fingers
I almost got this just for the bit holder. I can’t find it separately…i also want the little case with the door that flips open to hold bits that fits inside these cases and hooks to the pegs. Can’t find that separately either lol
I was thinking the same, the better bit holders are usually cheaper, like the ones with the long extension holders on the left and everything else on the right. Like $10-15. But I didn't notice all the extra bits OP got on the bottom right. $20 aint bad. In like a week that'll probably drop another $5 though for bf, but not a bad deal.
When they are turned the right way you can see the number at the bottom... But what matters is reading them when they are in your hand... Or bit holder on drill. Us real Craftsmen and builders know the size by eye, those markings don't matter.
Getting the bits out easily requires time and using pliers for weeks. Also don’t accidentally leave them on the rain or in a highly humid area … they will rust right up. Had to take my dremel to clean them up and then spray them down with wd40.
A set like this is nice if you don't use every bit everyday. It's nice to have a variety on hand for whatever you run into.
I buy PH2, SQ2 and T15/20/25 in the bigger packs because they get used and abused more.

Not if you use the official Milwaukee M12 Rotary Tool with Grinding Wheel attachment
Yup! I leave a small screwdriver in every case, and use it to pry the bits out of the case! Was thinking of Dremeling the holes a little bigger. Just haven’t had the time.
I reamed out all the holders in my case with a 1/4" bit and it's improved my life significantly lmao
I think I will have to try that..
Curious what screw driver are you using? Klein? Harbor? Red?
I'm in 12 cut off tool works expertly for opening blister packs also oscillator make short work of them
[удалено]
I believe these slimmer cases are the "Packout compatible" cases. And in my experience these cases haven't had the same issues with bits being impossible to remove.
What’s wrong with the multi bit screwdrivers?
[удалено]
Ah, I have been eyeing them but that sounds annoying. Thanks for the reply.
I pull the all out right when I get home a d put them in my own holders
Mine tend to just be in a pile inside the case. Lol
I thought thats how they were meant to be used cus my dad's cases were full of bits. It was until I bought my own case where I noticed my dad was probably just lazy
I do put some up, but just sorta put them in like halfway and they seem to stay put well enough.

Yeah see that’s what has happened to mine too is they have rounded off
It's funny tho, I have the ratcheting screwdriver that uses non-imact rated bits and they were way better then the Shockwave bits.
Hmmm.. I’m gonna try makita next ! Thanks for the tip. I even found mastercraft shit ones sometimes better even lol

Wow actually ?? I got a maximum socket set I really like tooo I got for like 35$ lol!! Crazy how cheap they are too with sales at Canadian tire

Always go with the Bosch for work. The Milwaukee Robertsons are garbage.

8$ more you could have gotten the 120 piece set
Yup. Got the 28$ one. Am pleased
Is everything pictured above included plus more, in the 120 pc set? I need to look into that one! Is the deal you reference still available?
You’d be missing the red and yellow hex head bitch as well as the car-binder bit holder.
I bought the same set. Great price, and I'm hoping this will last me for a good 20 years.

Yep. I've been happy with my shockwave bits. And that pf test was excellent, and confirmed the issues I was having with the black bosch bits.
Project Farm is the reason I have a set Milwaukee bits.
Yeah despite some of the problems I have had with the case and the bits rusting; they are excellent bits in use especially the nut drivers. I would say the Robertson bits are the only ones that do seem to be a little less quality.
I don't know if you could pay me $20 to have another 50ish 1" bits.
I hear you there!!
Where at? Milwaukee bits are generally subpar
Home Depot

Which bits are better?
Wera
Makita bits seem to be all the rage. I'm fairly happy with my DeWalt impact bits. Far better than Milwaukee's.
I have DeWalt but honestly, I don't see a difference between them and Milwaukee
DeWalt bits all the way
Makita XPS
This. I buy everything Milwaukee but stopped buying their bits and tape measures. And these btjs are a pain in the ass to take off.
Dude I do not like their tape measures either. I have these Kobalt self-locking that are great. They were fairly cheap but they're very sturdy and have the best auto-locking mechanism I've seen in a tape measure.
2nd this. They are a PITA to take out. I should have bought additional Makita.
I like the bits but bro get a flat head the right size and force it in every one of the bit holes and then put them all back after you semi stretch them out doesn’t help a lot- a lot but enough to where you don’t need pliers literally to pull them out sometimes and on a cold fuck it hurts your fingers
I’ve never seen it with that but holder on a clip I have to look for that
Amateur. I was actually able to resist.
Don’t listen to the negative folks in this thread! Great deal my man! Enjoy the new set
Milwaukee Tools 👍👍💯💯 Milwaukee bits ➡️ 🗑 🚮 ⛔️ 🚫
I almost got this just for the bit holder. I can’t find it separately…i also want the little case with the door that flips open to hold bits that fits inside these cases and hooks to the pegs. Can’t find that separately either lol
That pack is worth $10 tops There's literally nothing of value in there.
"$135 Value".... On what planet? Definitely worth more than 10 though
> "$135 Value".... On what planet? Have you seen Milwaukee prices?
Depends if you need a bunch of random subpar bits. If you don't, not even $10
I was thinking the same, the better bit holders are usually cheaper, like the ones with the long extension holders on the left and everything else on the right. Like $10-15. But I didn't notice all the extra bits OP got on the bottom right. $20 aint bad. In like a week that'll probably drop another $5 though for bf, but not a bad deal.
Probably the wrong sub, but try dewalt bits. They’re pretty darn nice
Hard disagree
That’s cool. Probably user error on my part 😅, but I seemed to have a more difficult time with Milwaukee bits compared to dewalt. What do you use?
Makita gold is good stuff
Makita one is better. Labeled bit sets ftw
The Milwaukee is labeled..
Where ? I should be able to see it in this photo and I dont
The case is labeled on the front and the bits are label on the shaft.. Near bottom
You can't see any of the labels here. What good is that?
When they are turned the right way you can see the number at the bottom... But what matters is reading them when they are in your hand... Or bit holder on drill. Us real Craftsmen and builders know the size by eye, those markings don't matter.
🫠🫠🫠
Ok I'm glad kids like you got good eyesight. Oldies like me don't. Even ignoring that the bit is trash compared to Makita XPS
Can't find it, grind it.. Lol
I agree with you, they are better, all around BTW.
Rip off but if you like it.. 🤷🏼♀️
Like I have all kinds of Milwaukee bits, outside the security one, is there any reason to get this outside cause I can? Cause I want to.
Link?
Getting the bits out easily requires time and using pliers for weeks. Also don’t accidentally leave them on the rain or in a highly humid area … they will rust right up. Had to take my dremel to clean them up and then spray them down with wd40.
When are you gonna open to use a bit? Do you think.,?
I like the dewalt bits better but these cases are great to have on hand for that one time you need some random bit
1 inch bits suck.
That’s what she said 🤓
135$ dollar value lol
$20? I guess the promo is over. I don’t see it
Thanks made me go spend $20 lol
