Driver Set

[KnotRight]

I am tired of buying bits and pieces of stuff. I bought a small Wheeler driver set but it does not have the bits that I need. Was looking at this one (https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2...iece-professional-gunsmithing-screwdriver-set). It only has 3 torx bits. The torx seem to be the bits that I am missing most of the time.

What are you using?

For torx I mostly use bits from Facom or pbswiss. Torx is standardized, those damned old slotted screws where everybody had their own ideas about width and depth, those suck.

I’m probably using the same one as you. If it doesn’t have the right bit, I just use a Dremel.

I have one of these https://www.harborfreight.com/100-pc-security-bit-set-with-case-68457.html
Of course I also have a dozen or so now partial sets of Snap-On, Bluepoint, Mac, and Matco, and actual screwdrivers and t-handles.

Jeppo, I have the next one up with the micro size bits that I do not seeing myself use.

Beef15, I have 2 sets of that HF kit and never can find the right bit. Not that it is not there but they do not stay in the space. I ended up putting each type of bit into a empty pill bottle.

Very true.

I might head over to Northern Tool in the next couple of days to look for a set. What brought this subject up is that I keep stripping those cheap ass bolt mounting screws. I need a much better fitting driver and going to buy a bunch of different screw for just in case.
What tool are you using to get say the 6 torx screws out if they are stripped. Also, how do you check the size that thread count on those little screws. Buy a set of nuts?

I did put a bunch of bits into an mtm 100 round 9mm box. They stay in place pretty well, have some foam to glue into the top so they’ll stay even if the box is inverted.

This is what I use. Comes from Walmart for less than $20.

Midway sells a set in a red container.... McCalllahan? Check it out.

Don’t use the cheap ones. They’ll bend and ruin the screw & weapon.
I have SnapOn, look into Brownells.

I've liked everything I have purchased from Chapman so far.
