My Dad got this about a week ago, I found it for him and bought it. he loves it. So far he used it for fixing the screen door, repairing some electronics, putting in sheet rock. you just cant go wrong on owning this small package! Thanks Craftsman for another great product!

This is one of my MOST used Craftsman products that I own!

I do agree with the other reviewers in that the packaging is a little misleading.  While it is in fact an 83 piece set, only 51 of the bits are unique.  The rest are all duplicates of other bits in the sets.  In my mind this is NOT a con at all, it is actually a pro.  The duplicate bits are all of the most commonly used pieces in the set.  This probably isn't the best option for an industry professional who might need a vast collection of bits, but for the everyday do-it-yourselfer this set is GREAT.  Any bit the average user (including...

4 stars

I have several of these sets in different locations and they are very good bits. The one thing I would like to have seen was something like a knurled finger driver included so a person wouldn't have to use a drill or magnetic driver. I cut a spot in the case and put a finger driver in and now it is more complete. I removed some of the duplicates and put in metric bits and magnetic nut drivers.

Versatility

Even though I have had this set for a while, today was the first time I actually used it. I employed a P2 bit extensively for not one, but two applications and you would not know it by looking at it. Virtually no wear at all. Between the variety of general purpose bits, nut drivers and security bits, this is a MUST HAVE item

A little misleading...

This set is a little misleading, it is an 83 piece set, but it only includes 51 different bits, including different lengths of the same size bit. There are many duplicates of the common bit sizes. One example is there are three of the short #2 Philips bits. This is convenient if you damage a bit and need another one right away, but I don't really need 3 of the same bit.

Everything I need!

This Craftsman Bit Set is awesome. I work in an arcade and fix arcade games everyday. This sit has everything I need to get the job done. I would recomend this to anyone that works on electronics.

It could use an extra set of tamper proff tork bits. There is only one set.

Great tools

This tool bit set is another great set of tools from craftsman. I recommend this buy.

This set is great.  The carrying case is about 6" x 4" x 2" and is perfect for a tool belt or a bucket.  It has a ton of common bits, including torx, single drive, and other common bits.  Definitely good for the money.
