Walmart Tool Warning

[js2013]

Just about everyone knows this already but I needed a T10 bit so I bought a Hyper Tough bit set from Walmart since I was already there. Put the bit in the screw, turned, and the bit sheared in two pieces. Moral of the story, don’t buy cheap tools (I know duh )

Change their name to Hypo Tough?

Did it scratch the gun though?

I think the metal was to soft to scratch the gun!

Try Armstrong. They're used in the auto assembly plants on pneumatic drivers. I've welded the bits into Armstrong sockets for that use and they'd hold up without breaking.

Wiha bits are the best I've found. German made.

The bits that are included with the screws work fine for me. Over 2,000 in this summer. Both screws and bit from China even though packed in American box and labeling.

If your going to go cheap at least go Taiwan. They are not trying to harm our country and they make some decent stuff. The Wheeler engineering bits are Taiwan and have actually out performed the US made Brownells bits I have. I have no affiliation with Wheeler engineering

Good s*it ain't cheap and cheap s*it ain't good.

Good s*it ain't cheap and cheap s*it ain't good.

Just because it's expensive doesn't make it good.
