I've had this set on my watch list for literally years, and finally decided to buy it. I have many screwdriver and bit sets, some cheap, some name brand, but this is by far and away the best of them. The problem with many others is that they have a single, or perhaps two, width/thickness bits for a given size. This ends up with you using too small a blade on a large screw with a thin slot, and when you have one that fits it may be too narrow and leave slop in the engagement with the screw. The Wheeler set eliminates that with its wide variety of width and thickness selections. I've already used it on a couple of items where it was a joy to get a perfect fit and not worry about buggering up a tight screw. This 89 bit set has a variety of specialized firearms bits and if you don't need those then the 79 piece version of this is all you'll need, though you don't save all that much money. Highly recommended!! Read full review

The first time I used it to remove a weaver style scope base off of my brand new rifle one of the torx bits broke. I haven't used it since. If you're thinking about buying this set I recommend you spend a little more money and get a quality set of screwdrivers.

I was constantly looking for screwdrivers to work on some of my guns. I had purchased several sets of the computer repair screwdrivers but as you get older the arthritis gets worse and you could never get enough pressure on the computer screwdrivers. With this set it is a pleasure working on my guns. Whenever I purchased a car I always threw the piece of junk aluminum ratchet away and would go and buy a heavy duty bar or x ratchet. The first time you change a tire you appreciate having good tools. Same thing with these. Changing grips on a Colt is truly a job for the mentally insane considering their design. Although still a pain these screwdrivers make it a lot easier.

Real nice set, should cover most gun screws. What I found that surprised me was a bit for the S&W slide spring in revolvers. That tool alone from Brownells would cost over $18.00 alone! It's a must if you want to completely disassemble your revolver for cleaning or smoothing out the action! It's a good kit for the money. Of course you can get one from Brownells for twice the money! I've been a gunsmith for over 30 yrs. This will work just fine for most applications!

This set was recommended. When I received it, I could see why: it is complete and of excellent quality. The bits are in a wide range of widths and thicknesses, just right for my work with antique fine machinery.
