I've a got the small Makita impact screw driver. It has smashed its way through all my bits so I am looking for replacements.
Any recommendations?

I bought this set a couple of years ago (on recommendation of somebody here ISTR)

've only had to discard one bit so far.
Wiha or Wera
As far up the range as you can afford to go.

recently collected together all the bits that had survived long term heavy usage - they were mostly Wiha Dura bits.
I've had the opposite experience & found that the more expensive ones shatter! I buy the plastic tic tac boxes of 20 or so bits, last lot DeWalt on offer @ SF or Wickes own label - About a £5 a box maximum.
Wera diamond coated.
dan.
Not very good in an impact driver in my experience - they shatter. Presumably they are given a much higher temper to slow down wear in a normal driver. Cheapos, if you get the right box, can last better than those, or the Dura ones are the best.
