And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Just bought a similar set at Ace and paid more. Needed that Torx head bit, and it worked really well, rammed the wood screws into my boards with authority.
I have the Bosch impact version. I actually only use a couple of the pieces regularly, but the assortment is there for those rare occasions. Having a set onhand is worth the investment.
The manufacturers count on the reasoning that the set is worth having on hand. Individual bits are 3 for a couple bucks, but this way they can get you to pay 5-8 bucks each for the 3 you'll actually use, and the rest wind up at garage sales, unused and a bit rusty.
you want this, https://wfmc.shop/ 30 years its been an outstanding tool, 70 tooth ratchet, 400 inch pounds, every bit you need, plus a 1/4 inch adapter, nothing comes close, little mom and pop in Connect-a-cut, best tool in the world my book, goes everywhere with me, a kit fits in a great form factor, once u use it u cant go without one.
I usually wear out one T-25 about every month. I carry a few impact bits in my pocket at all times; T-20, T-25, T-30, T-40, #2 Phillips, #3 Phillips, 1/4” & 5/16” sockets. Goats can be a bit rough on things and pretty much every day I find the impact driver in my hand and a need to tweak some kind of screw in a structure on the ranch. During the builds, I frequently used a collated screw gun where only Phillips screws were available. I haven’t used my square-drive collated screw gun in a while so I stopped carrying those bits. Roofing screws with attached washers are handy for putting up hardware cloth and they come in 1/4” or 5/16”. The larger Torx bits are useful for GRK structural lag screws, which are expensive, but very good and re-usable.

ReplyDeleteHave an assortment in the tool box is worth the money when you need that one bit...and someday you will need it!
