For the love of God all there is are shitty Chinese crap that is made out of rusty pot metal with rounded edges and out of spec. Why the fuck can't I buy a set of decent hex bits for my drill? I can buy a shitload of torx bits, unlimited variations of philips and flathead, and square bits. The only way to get hex bits seems to be to buy a gigantic set of bits to get like 5 hex bits. What the fuck?

Hex bits come in both European and USA sizes so if you are using the wrong size that still kinda works you will be stripping your bolts and bits. That may be why you think they are trash.

Also you should think of drill bits as consumables. They will break and die over time so plan to replace them. You dont buy bits for life.

I think they're trash because they're rusty new in the box and they are fucking rounded when they're new because chinks can't precision machine anything.

Buying from online? You should be able to see and avoid that if you are buying in person, right?

Nobody has them. I looked at every set of driver bits at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Ace. There were a couple sets that had a couple in them, but that's the best I could find.
