If you go through a lot of bits, are looking at this and thinking "that seems like a good price", and especially if you have amazon prime "free" shipping, you wont be disappointed. The bits are not as tough as the regular 25-in-a-yellow-see-through-box #2 dewalt bits. This is no great shakes, but was a good value at the sale price. The "angle drive" holder is pretty useless on an angle, but magnetic. I wasn't. The sockets are good and the case is nice.
Handy Assortment, use these a lot, I like impact tools because even I can't break them without trying. Handy compact carrying case, a great plus, don't have to lug the whole tool box to job site.
Dewalt sells another "Impact Ready" kit with more variety, but lacks the 1/4-3/8 drive for sockets. I've been using Bosch philips bits with my Makita impact and they've held up perfectly, so I really wanted this more for the 1/4-3/8 drive and sockets. Thus, forcing you to buy both kits. The pivot drive probably won't be as useful as Dewalt markets it to be, and having a case full of #2 bits isn't going to get me very far when I need to drop down cement board or decking using square drives.
The DW2169 has high impact bits and sockets. This set is a great value. The clear case also works with the DW2599 set.
I have been real happy with these and whole heartedly recommend them if you own an impact driver and have been looking for a set of good bits for it. A dewalt rep was showing off the benefits of the new bit designs and angled driver. I first saw this product on a television coverage of the 2008 tool expo on HGTV. These accessories are designed for impact drivers that have the collet lock for the bit rather than a chuck. The cases are typical of dewalt and works well. They are also hardened to stand up to high torques that impact drivers generate.
