Hi there, I've got a 'Rolson' branded version of this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-all-purpose-screwdriver-bit-set-100-pieces/8450h Over the last couple of years a couple of the bits have either gone missing or have been damaged - they aren't amazing quality bits but then a couple of them have been maltreated or had a hard life. If I just wanted to replace the ones which are duds but keep the rest, is there a pic n' mix style place where I can just say, OK I want hollow torx size X, and flat head size Y? Or do I just have to buy a new kit if I want the full set? I feel like Screwfix should just have a huge array of plastic bins with a couple of generous handfuls of bits in each bin that I can pick from Cheers!
Thanks for the link, I see what you mean - but I couldn't find any hollow torx or flat head the size that I wanted. Shame they don't sell strips of all the sizes of a specific type. Lots of PZ/PH number 2 or 3. I saw the exact same box I've got as clearance for 1.99, which I hadn't seen before on there, so I imagine that's my best bet
You can buy Tamper Proof Torx Bits loose from various places, like Cromwell Tools, they have a number of branches around the UK. No idea as size you want, as they are marked in T sizes & X means nothing to me. https://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop/han...amperproof-torx-bit-1-4-hex-std/p/KEN5734150K https://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop/hand-tools/screwdriver-insert-bits-hexagon/033001
Funnily enough I was attempting the exact same thing a week ago ! Got loads of various odd bits and various sets with funky heads (supposedly tamper proof) but have 1 particular set, with ratchet screwdriver that I really like and it's my "go to" bit set A lot of these bits and sets come with very poor quality bits that just wreck themselves under 1 st use. It really is a case of pay a little or a lot more and get better quality bits So, frequently used bits, I tend to replace with decent Wera or Dewalt bits. Avoid the mega cheap 10 bits for a quid, even if they are gold (in colour) at around 10 pence each, you really can't expect much in terms of quality But, your right pilze, these bit sets do come with odd size bits, but just regular shape, ie PZ, Slotted, Phillips, that you can't seem to buy on their own I do sometimes but another bit set and use this for top ups but as usual, a search on eBay will probably turn up what ur looking for (just avoid the super cheap "bargains" - they won't be or worth the bother
Better to spend a bit more & buy a quailty set , from a respected brand, most likely works out cheaper than buy invidual bits.
The 100 for £8.00 from a competitor last as long as any I have bought before which includes the high tech ones with torsion zones and what have you.
