    iFixIt has some pretty comprehensive sets… I probably use 5-10% of the bits… But thats also kind of the point, right? You go for them when you run into a “what the fuck is this shit” kind of fastener, and then you probably won’t use it again for another few years.

    I would recommend getting some longer torx bits that can go in a drill / impact gun, since those are the more common “odd” fasteners you run into, and the short ones for screwdrivers dont give you a lot to work with if you chuck them in a drill

      Second on iFixit. They do come at a premium as they’re a bit pricier, but my brother bought me a kit in middle school and I’ve been using it ever since (around a decade) - as a daily driver (I use screwdrivers a LOT). Only have broken a few of the bits and they’re very good at warrantying them if you do.

      The only fastener I’ve ever run into that I didn’t have in my kit is a security pentagon bit. They’ve got everything else imaginable!
