Not truly every single bit, but a massive part of such a set
I got this to deal with the various security fasteners used on battery packs and other devices that I need to disassemble for shop projects. This set has just about everything I could wish for in a general fastener removal situation and it has been useful for my projects and some of the customization of electronics that I've had to do. The standard bit set is complete and it has been used on everything from eyeglasses screws to some 1/4" fasteners.The ratchet drivers that come with the set may not be the heftiest or feel the most secure, but they do the job. I would have liked a somewhat longer and firmer hand driver with the set, luckily I have one as one of the tools in my shop and hex bits work in that as well, for those slightly harder to reach areas where you don't want an extension but an actual shaft that is longer and won't fall off. The shaft extension with this set leaves a bit to be desired and fits somewhat loose in the main driver. If you need to get to fasteners in hard to reach places (not restricted by width like some pieces of electronics which need long-shaft bits designed for that work) that also tend to have spaces where you don't want to drop things (behind walls, for example) then a longer driver I would say is required.As I have a flexible shaft extension and set of longer extensions that I got for my original driver, they serve the specialized purposes of getting to those really hard to reach areas. Get this set for the bits as they are worth the entry price, but don't expect them to do every single long-reach job.What this set lacks is the gunsmith specific flat sided bits (like those in Wheeler sets), thus it cannot be said to be for every single bit...luckily I have a pretty complete range of those bits, for specialized work. To add those specific bits to such a case would put in a good 75-100 more bits and require a much larger case, thus I'm not expecting some Master Universal Bit Set any time soon as it would also have to have the long-reach shaft bits to complement the main bit set which would be another 35-50 bits on its own. So far I have yet to find a 300 piece Master Universal Bit Set anywhere, which would cover every single task you could name. But if you want the lion's share of those bits, this set is a must.PROs- The bits I needed to deal with security and odd-ball fasteners I've run across- Nice case and sub-cases for the smaller bits, used for the small fasteners in watches and eyeglasses- Relatively complete for common shop tasksCONs- Does not contain every single possible bit, but that is to be expected- Ratchet driver just doesn't feel that well made, but it does work- No long reach single shaft for the drivers, you are on your own for thoseThis bit set is meant to put an end to my hunting around for the few disparate bit sets that came with other products (like drill bits) and finally give me one place where I know I can find nearly everything I need outside of firearms work. The bits are well sized and well made, just be mindful of the torque you put on them, especially rusted in place fasteners which need penetrating lubricant. I couldn't find anything better for the price and it is well worth it.

Very nice set of driver bits
I work on fishing reels and general household repairs. This kit has every bit I believe I would ever use and many that I don't think I could ever find a purpose for! Meaning, it has more bits than I could ever find screws for, but it is nice to know that if a random screw pops up, this kit would be the one that has a bit to fit it!Quality of the bit has been fine so far. I have reefed on a few flat head screws and did not damage the bits. For fine work, this kit has had the exact bit in the exact size I have needed. For my workbench it is perfect. I would purchase again and I would recommend to friends.

Damn impressive set -- well worth buying!
TEKTON 2841 Everybit and Electronic Repair Screwdriver Bit Set, 135-PieceThis is an impressive kit, with just about every conceivable bit type (14 in all, not the 12 stated in the Amazon ad) - in a huge variety of bit sizes. Even if you have an extremely well-equipped shop as I do, odds are that it lacks many of these bit types. Bits lock into their respective places in the molded plastic case, with that bit's type and size clearly marked; so if one is missing from the case, you'll know which one it is. The bits themselves are S-2 steel (for you metallurgists) with a sandblasted finish, and seem to be as good as those in my Bosch bit set. I'll probably never use them all - but none has broken so far. Off-center holes in the centers of security bits would be an indicator of poor quality; but the holes in my Tekton security bits are well-centered.The larger of the two included drivers is a ratchet type, but can be set to non-ratchet. Its end cap unscrews, revealing space in the hollow handle for over a dozen spare bits or bits you'll need on a specific job.This kit supersedes the TEKTON 2840 Everybit Ratchet Screwdriver and Bit Set, 105-Piece. Set 2840's ratchet employed a ball-bearing to help secure bits and some Amazon customer reviewers say that ball-bearing fell out of their ratchet. This 2841 kit's large driver uses a purely magnetic bit holder, which is an improvement (the bits however, are not magnetic).The kit includes a separate case of 20 mini-bits, similar in size to an eyeglass screwdriver set, but with more unusual bits such as the tiny T3 & T4 star bits and the minuscule #1 Pentalobe driver. In the case is a mini-driver with a rotating handle butt for spinning fasteners on & off. This driver's steel bit-holder retains bits via a an internal spring. Tekton calls this a "precision bit and driver set designed for mobile and electronic devices" - be sure to click on "view larger" for detailed photos of this kit's components.Except for the very largest bits in this set, an impact driver's instant repetitive force could easily shatter the bit. So..., think of this kit as hand tools.The kit is made in Tiawan.Most customers should be happy with the variety of bits, overall quality of the kit, and the relatively low price. However, the one thing I can't evaluate is how the bits hold up over time - e.g., whether they prematurely strip or break. They seem fine, but only time will tell in that regard...This kit's components have a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, see "Comments" below. Based on Amazon reviews of other Tekton products, this company seems to stand by their products.

I really like this set. I have bought 3 so far.
I have bought 3 of these sets for myself and urged this as a great set to many coworkers. Its a very well done set of tools and extremely useful.

Good kit.
Great screwdriver kit with a ton of bits and options. The bits seem harder than some other cheaper kits I've bought, and I expect them to last.Like some other reviews here, I've received it with a few of the bits slightly rusted, but it doesn't bother me and they still seem sound.Other than that I'm giving this 4 stars because I'm not a fan of the screwdriver handle itself. Everything else is great, but the handle is both uncomfortable and cheap feeling when using it. That said, I got the kit for the bits more than the handle, as my old screwdriver kit had a great magnetic handle and extender rod, but terrible soft bits.

es un gran material
Esto funciona y es un gran material, si tienes una pistola de impacto le adaptas la punta y funciona perfecto.

Awesome driver set!
Got this as I wanted one for a while - it has pretty well every driver bit you'll ever realistically need, contained in a nice compact case. The quality of the bits is good - like most bits, they're not super-hardened so just make sure you pick the bit that fits properly and you'll not chew or mash it.Have to say I'm surprisingly impressed with Tekton quality, I've bought a few of their socket sets over the last few years and find them nice to use, their ratchets always feel high-grade.This is a great set and a good-value way to buy everything in one shot. I love this set, and would happily recommend it.Hope that helps! :)

Pratique, bon, mais...
J'aurais mit 5 étoiles dû a mon utilisation régulière, et au prix.Mais commence malheureusement a prendre l'humidité et a rouiller.Peut-être un traitement de surface dans le futur ?

Best Set Ever!
Very sturdy and well made bits & handle. The set has practically all the different bits you would ever need & more. I love that it even comes with the extension handle to make the screw driver longer for those hard to reach places. Plus an additional precision set. Worth every penny.

I really love it. I got fed up with buying next ...
Yes, I really love it. I got fed up with buying next set of bits just to get one that was needed. The Tekton set brings more than plenty of differently shaped bits. Some of them I even have not been aware that they exist. The case itself is not big but it's full of what is paid for.
