Conclusion:
Looking at all of the buyer reviews, we can be sure that generally this kit is well received by actual buyers.
Having one of these multi-type of drill sets allows you always to have the right drill bit or driver. Although the quality is not as high as buying expensive individual bits and driver attachments, they are good enough for infrequent use.
The fact that you get a wide range of sizes means you will not be stuck, when you come to completing a task. This type of expansive kit also means that you will not always have to be running to the store for a special size.
This is one of the better general purpose drilling and driving kits around at the moment. For a small amount of money you will get plenty of use out of these. If you were buying high quality bits, then you could easily spend this amount on just one drill bit. So as you can imagine, when you are getting 100 pieces, they are not going to be of the highest quality
This is what we would class as a good all rounder especially for home use. As you will know there is always something to do around the home or yard. Almost always that will involve some type of drilling or driving requirement. It could be as simple as putting a shelf up, to fixing a kid's bike or doing some basic drilling through wood.
