Customer Reviews for Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Alloy Steel Torx Security Screw Driver Bit Set (10-Piece)

I've only used the T-10 so far but it seems to do what it's suppose to do so far. These bits are so small, some sort of container to keep them all together would have been nice. I made something out of an old HF box to keep them in though.

Got the job done but bits are so small they dont even fit into the chuck of my impact driver. Had to use an adaptor to make it fit. Virtually useless by themselves.

The Shockwave Impact Duty Hex Security Bit Set (7-piece), is a must needed tool if you work on anything that has the security screw or bolt head. These bits are made of course by Milwaukee, so you know they are of a good quality, and strong enough for the job you will be using them for. There is NO substitute for these when you need them ! They work very effectively, and you should have them in your toolbag.

When I ordered this I expected to get a holder that would sort and store each bit, just like most other sets like this. When it came it only had the bits. The package made it look in the picture like it had identifiers for each bit, but, the numbers were only on the package. Instead, each bit had a small, extremely hard to read stamp on the side of the bit (the part that goes into the handle). I couldn't read some of the bit sizes even under a lighted magnifier! Not good when you are working to have to guess (especially when the tips are the really small ones). Since there was no handle and no magnetic bit holder that would go into a drill, I went back to Home Depot and bought a handle that would take the bits. That item was #1000 021-816 the Husky 10 piece ratcheting screwdriver set (about $10.00) which had 3 of the bits from the package already in it and a small case with the bits that came with the driver, identified. I was working with hard drives and really didn't want a large drill driver with the bits in a chuck. If you have a magnetic driver, that isn't a problem, but, identifying the bits still is. They each have a red band around them that has the Milwaukee logo on it and it shouldn't have been too hard for them to put the bit size on that (or make the stamped number more legible). So, what I did was to take a label maker and create small labels and wrap them around each bit. I bit of a pain. For now I am sorting them by putting them on a magnet, but, I intend to make a small block to store them. Are they any good? Yes, the bits are fine and work well. My complaint is with the fact that every other set of bits I saw in the store (Home Depot) had a small case to hold them and were plainly labeled on the case. Would I recommend them? Yes, with the caveat that you are going to have to make something to hold them or dump them into a container and sort them when you need them. Pictures attached show what I did to make them a usable part of my tool chest, by creating and cutting each label and wrapping it around each bit. As you can also see, it is pretty hard to read any markings on the actual bits. You may be able to use a magic marker to mark on the red label as well.

These Milwaukee bits are a good value. The security hex bits are standard 1/4” shank, so they will work with any style bit driver. The seven sizes included are 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, 1/8, 9/64, 5/32, and 3/16”. These are impact rated steel, however they are for security fasteners, so they have a releif in the center, which may reduce their strength. Some of the smaller sizer are not ones I have commonly encountered, but the set also includes many common sizes. These bits are made in China, but are working great so far.

While I don't anticipate using high-torque drivers with these bits, they are very high quality and cover a wide range of torx bit sizes. I like knowing that I can use these in my small impact driver without having to worry about their strength. This can be especially important when removing a stubborn fastener. Having a bit that fits right in the fastener and can withstand some torque is important.

Very good set.

These hex drive bits are great. the set comes with nine different sizes that work perfect with other tool sets. without fail, whenever i need a hex drive bit, I can't find the correct size in other sets. This set has nine sizes which fill the need when I am looking for misc. sizes! It would be nice if the bits were sold in a little plastic holder or small box. Having nine small pieces, it is easy to misplace or lose.

It had the size bit I needed.

I needed this to disassemble an office chair instead of using the provided T-handle and it worked great. Nice add to the collection!

The wear guard tip is great for keeping bits from rounding off, but I did have one shatter on me. I assume this is from increasing the hardness to reduce wear.

The set needs to come with some Kind of holder or container other wise will probably misplace or lose them right off the bat

I gave it 4 stars because it seems to be made very well unfortunately it didn't have the size bit I needed it for but hopefully other un expected jobs it will come through big time.

I like Milwaukee tools. Drivers as good as most.

The Milwaukee steel hex screw driver bit set is better than using the cheap allen wrenches that typically come with project kits and my fingers are much more happy. A magnetic hex extension socket would have been useful to include in the kit as well, but I already had one and would definitely recommend you also get to go along with this kit.

Like all Milwaukee tools, these torx bits stand the test of time. Quality built and extremely durable. A must have in your toolbox.

Must have if putting together furniture. Fit great and saved a ton of time

For some reason, the stores never stock the metrics version. But these are good too.

I use this for multiple things, but mostly for gunsmithing. I now wish I purchased the 9 bit set, but no worries, I may pick that set up regardless. I love Milwakuee products and quality. I have not had issues with them yet.

Just as advertised!!!

Great bits, great price

Excellent product and affordable
