Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE 33 pc. Security Bit Set
Customer Review: Just buy the bit you need
Summary: 2 Stars
Needed Torx #10 screwdriver and I saw that this set costs little more than that 1 screwdriver.
Fast-forward to the actual job and the #10 Torx was a little too small for the job and screwed-up all my screw-heads to the point that I was unable to screw them back-in after taking them out (had to buy new screws).
The morale of the story is that if something sounds too good to be true (30 precision bits for the price of one) it probably is too good to be true.
The other lesson for me was that if I needed one tool I don't need to buy 29 other that I don't need?
Customer Review: Good Idea Poor execution

Good Idea Poor execution
I make knives from scratch and from kits. I got this bit set because the knife kits use Torx and the spanner style screws. The kit does not have a small enough Torx, and the torx that I used stripped out and crumbled when I used it on the pivot stud screw. This is not a high torque screw. The spanner bit also broke. The larger bits seem to hold up better BUT for the work I am doing it was a waste. Maybe I got a poor set and it was a fluke, but I was definitely not happy with the quality. The package is nice if only the quality matched.
Customer Review: Cheap Chinese junk, but some of them work
Summary: 2 Stars
About 60% of the bits are usable. All but two of the Hex bits are so badly cast that they're basically round, and the holes are all drilled off centre. The larger Torx bits are ok, but the smaller ones are about as much use as the hex bits. I have so many Torx and hex drivers, that it doesn't bother me - but if that's what you need, then don't expect much from this set. The other bits are reasonable and have done the job so far. They're all labeled CRV, but I suspect Carbon Steel. Not bad for a fiver (but don't pay shipping, just go to harbour freight).Customer Review: bits not manufactured to precision
Summary: 2 Stars
This security bit set is a bargain for sure, but do not expect precision from all the bits. The smaller sized torx bits have the security hole off center, and a circular tip instead of a torx 6-star tip. Needless to say, it will not fit properly. I ended up returning the set and ordering a more expensive craftsman set from Sears. Sometimes you need to pay to play. I give two stars because the return was relatively painless, this product was a disappointment.Customer Review: The cheapest deal you're going to get on a security bit set
Summary: 4 Stars
There is very little to say here. For a lousy $5 (or less) I keep a spare set in my tool box. I work in alarm/security and at this price when I break or lose a bit, it is literally cheaper to replace the set. For convenience sake you can buy a multi-bit screwdriver from Lowes or Home Depot (the kind with the hollowed out handle that holds different size bits) and fill it with security bits and now you've got a security bit driver for cheap
