What camp do you fall in. Long Bits or just a long bit holder...

The majority of my fastener is Torx *GRX* and slowly finishing off my square drives.

I do have long bits for the squares.
For the GRK's, I'm using Wiha torx bits on a Wera bit holder.
Looking to get more compact with a 1 piece bit.

Have yet to find any good quality long bits in the Torx - either by Apex, Wiha or Wera...(preferred selections of bits).

Curious what's you go to stash/method on driver bits

Bit holders, but I keep long bits because sometimes bit holders are too fat.

Bit holders, 1" bit inserts are much cheaper. The holders last..... well until I loose them.

 

[Rustbucket]

I prefer long bits and no holder as they are thinner and give me a better view. I do use holders sometimes, though. Haven't found any bits that are exceptional, though. I just change them as needed.

 

[mobiledynamics]

I don't like to skimp in bits....they either work or frustrate the **** out of you.

The ones I prefer (wiha, wera) don't make them in long lengths. Grrrr.

So I either use the fatty rapidator holder or the old skool metal collar 1 piece holders.
Bought a Wiha, worst $16+ bit holder I ever spent...

I like my bit holder if I have to change between several bits, if I know I am driving several dozen screws of the same size I usually go for a long bit.

 

[Needles]

I like to have both around. My longest bit is longer than a my longest bit holder. Don't have to get all up inside casework when your slaming boxes.

A bit holder also doubles as an emergency 1/4" nut driver.:whistling

Always 2" or longer. Want the best driver bits for grk? Buy the grk driver bits. If you're going into real hard material with the t-10 and you're using an impact you'll probably break the tip, use a predrill to prevent breaking the tip.

 

[mobiledynamics]

GRK bits are like a 6/10 when you compare them to a Apex, Wera or Wiha bit IMO

 

[mobiledynamics]

When I say Apex, I'm talking Apex *grade* of yesteryears, I'm not sure how they are under the Danahar brand umbrella

 

[Randy Bush]

I prefer long bits.I use a lot of screws in channel, soffit j and siding. Bit holders are just to bulky for what I do. Although I do have some holders for special extra long reach work.

Wera magnetic bit holder. I can't stand not having the magnet. Everything falls off. The wera is nice cause the bit locks in so it can pull out.
I have some long bits for when a holder is too large.

The GRK bits are absolute crap. Even with GRK screws they suck. GRK screws, however, are great.

Wera makes the best bit holders.

Wiha makes the best bits.

long bits 99% of the time, i hate bit holders as the bit alwasy comes out when driving screws with my impact driver

That's weird, I've been using grk t-10 driver tips for 10 years and they've performed great...

Same here.

I keep this in my the top of my pouch with various types of bits. Impactor bits are worth the extra money if you use a impact driver very often.

Try some Wihas or Weras and use that as your benchmark against the GRK's.

 

[alboston]

I have had nothing but good luck with the GRK long bits. They have outlasted most other long bits.

 

[TNTRenovate]

Never found a holder that will hold 100% of the time. I use long bits about 85% of the time. The only time I use a holder is when I need to change bits, however lately I have just pulled out my spare impact and loaded it with the other bit I needed.
