6 different flat head sizes is crazy. I also don’t think you need separate pozi and phillips options in this style of bits. I would prefer more torx and hex options as those are very common these days.
I can't tell if this is dry sarcasm lol I don't know that much about the economics of tool manufacturing, but this price, shipped from China, is pretty good to me. Especially when compared to Leatherman.
@@GruntBurger Nah, Dominic is right. This is effectively $20 (including shipping) for even less than half of the bits that are offered in a large set from Leatherman. from what I see, you can also buy this bit set bundled with the Nextool E1 for about $36 with free shipping. The problem is that E1 can be purchased regularly for less than $20, and on sale for about $17.
@@GruntBurger put it into perspective..the wave clones cost $5 to manufacture. This is maybe $1, and the US government supplements shipping from China because it's a "Third world nation" usps covers over 100M in shipping each year. So the least they can do is not gouge on pricing.
Im wondering how the bits hold up to real use? I bent and stripped a few leatherman bits. Do you use a screwdriver first? Have you had any leatherman bits fail? Im seriously curious? Im wondering if ive been doing something wrong. Ive had no name screwdrivers do a better job then leatherman bits. The 1/4 bit holder is why i really like the bibury. It gives me opportunity to use the best bits ive ever found wiha.
I usually use my 1/4" clone type multi-tool bit drivers at home and at work. They work good. Trying to take tools apart I have ruined almost all my T9 or T10 torx bits. Otherwise even my Gordan flat bits are doing well at the moment.
@@hvacbudget8600 you should try Wiha bits. I'm telling you they are amazing. I was replacing a deck. We were going through about 5 a day. I bought 3 different brands and wiha by mail. I still have the same bit I started with. Also use them for my knife repair kit. I have yet to have one fail. I can't stress how unbelievable that is. I'm a mechanic/ handyman so I really use tools. I'm the guy they call after everyone else has broken or messed it up. Many times I've gotten a box full of parts. Lol Anyway thanks for the reply. I don't understand American companies. The economy is a mes most can't afford extras. So American business's decided to make only high dollar tools. Leave budget tools and equipment to others. Even worse high price doesn't necessarily mean quality.
Do they fit into regular hex drivers? And a tricky question... would they work with driver in SOG Powerpint? I'm looking for a lightweight kit for my Powerpint and this could be it
At least test how they hold up because my biggest complaint with leatherman kit is material that breaks under abuse. Also it can be hardly called a gamechanger because value is not there, the set is currently sitting on Aliexpress at 10€ with 11€ shipping (for my region at least) making it over 2€ per bit. Meanwhile I can pick up leatherman kit for 29,90€ locally with twice as many bits plus spare micro driver so leatherman kit is more complete and cheaper per bit. Of course, if for some odd reason, you only need assortment of flats and phillips/pozidrives, this kit is more economical. Advertisement says Nextool's bits are made from S2 steel, which is fine if heat treating is done correctly, while leatherman says "Forged from solid steel and coated with zinc, Bit Kit bits are 35 percent stronger than average stainless steel bits", whatever that means.
the link you have they are 11 CAD but with $40 shipping 💀 theres another listing that has them as $14 with free shipping to canada, ill go with that one, but still, thank you for bringing this to attention
@@andrewfett142I’m starting to warm up to these bits because they are compact. This being available definitely makes a difference. Wondering if Roxon has or plans to make a compatible driver for the flex.
nearly the same cost as the leatherman bits with shipping! Yikes. Also really wish they had a mix of the phillips and flat head bits... Means the market is soon going to be flooded with bit kits though!
A couple of years to late... now all the clone tools have full size bitholder and I will not go back to the slim bits. I even will change my bitholder in my Wave and Surge for a full size one.
@@deykno87 i have the small bits in the Leatherman bit kit, and carry it edc. But over the past years and due to carrying the clones more often or carrying the milwaukee 6in1, i figured out that a full size bit kit is better for me. So I switch between Wave/Surge with bit kit an clone or milwaukee with a small fullsize but still compact bit kit. But more and more often its the clone... For me its function over formfactor.
They should make a metric and an emperiall version. The same goes for leatherman, i i buy the full bit set, i use only half. you can buy bitset nr.1 and 2. Separate but the metric and imperial is still mixed up😅😅
As a tradesperson we use and encounter so much pozidrive (PZed) that I wanted multi tools to include them for such a long time. The PZed is obviously superior to the regular Philips in the way it grips. "2D" (2D is a dumb name, they are called flat bits) are loathesome though and I am not a fan but seeing as they are made to be portable I see the reasoning. You shouldn't crank on something like your life depends on it with a multi tool anyway so flat bits are better than no bits.

FINALLY 👍
The 21 part Leatherman bit kit was $70 in Australia !
Wow!
@@hvacbudget8600 Sorry that's AUS $70 or US $46
35 euro over here in the Netherlands
But they have to travel very far😂😂
The ones from nextool ar a lot closer, unless LM has them also made in China
I love that there's more than just leatherman making these flat bits but I'd prefer standard 1/4" bits
Great bit kit and glad to see it. Don’t have a Leatherman that uses bits, but good to see it.
So the Leatherman bit kit is finally in stock
LoL!
Wish they would do something like this with normal bits and an adapter for the rebar/supertool 300
Awesome. I ordered a set when I got my Gordon. Glad to know it works.
Hope you like them! They seem like a good option.
Yeah! I’ve been waiting for a look at these! I’ve got a Mini Flagship on the way but as soon as I saw these I took a look at the E1 too!
You can get an E1 with the bit kit included on Aliexpress I think.
@@hvacbudget8600 That’s what I’ve been looking at. There’s one on there for £20ish, E1, pack of different blades and the bits!
Interesting set. I’m glad to see the T6/T8 bit included. I expect like with the wave clones we’ll see many more variations on this to come.
Probably so!
I think so. Already the Leatherman style bit driver seems to be more prolific among the clones.
DAMN! I just purchased a wiha set about 2 weeks ago!!!
Where are the flat/ philips combo bits to replace lost or broken ones? A bunch of double ended Phillips or flats are pretty useless.
I ve added the 17 different blades for the exacto blade holder😊
@@christianskanal3112 Nice!
was going to buy but thy wanted 9 for the bits and 13 for the shipping.
The shipping is high.
From the link to Aliexpress in description its 23 dollars just for shipping.
@@rbaziuk4053 that was the total when i checked you always have to watch Ali they loved changing prices and shiping aroud .
What? No square (aka Robertson) bits???
Not pleased at all, their prixe for this is stupid. Should have been $5

@@maxlvledc That certainly puts it into perspective, thank you. I knew these things were "cheap" to produce, but I had no idea they were that cheap.
Another dumb proprietary bit style. A traditional 1/4" driver is so much more logical
Nextool is the next leatherman. The quality a price is unmatched.

Nice!
Do they fit into regular hex drivers? And a tricky question... would they work with driver in SOG Powerpint? I'm looking for a lightweight kit for my Powerpint and this could be it
Yep they’re basically 1/4” with less width in one direction. I wonder if one can make them in a pinch by grinding a standard bit very skillfully 😂
Definitely. I've seen some very patient people do it on 1/4" double sided bits.
I'll buy these if they make it to Amazon at $10 bucks and free shipping.............

Yes.

Kind of strange assortment of double-sided flat and PH. By the way, does torx secure or not?
these are not security torx bits.
@@hvacbudget8600, sorry for annoying, does leatherman bit plates hold tight nextool bits?
@snosov no problem. I think so. I will try to do a short on it.

I checked it, and there are at least 6 double sided bits I never use unless I go on holiday to the US or Canada.
At least better package than leatherman, hope nextool not as easy to get creasing as leatherman's bit holder especially those made in taiwan.
Very nice! 😎👍🏻
cool
i hate propietary bits, like leatherman's, just stick to 1/4 universal bits
I've never seen a 15mm that was that small.
For those who just want basic bits to fit a Leatherman style bit holder this is a bargain.

Yeah, no thanks. Prefer quarter bits. My wave+ came with a flat bit but and that's the only one I'll own.
OMG 😲 🎉
I don't like 2d bits)
I loathe bit drivers in multitools, and “2D” Proprietary bits? absolute marketing hypejob
Hopefully Leatherman can learn something from these bits the leatherman flat bits are so junk.
Not true
@@deykno87 Bro how are you gonna say not true, I’m not a leatherman hater I’ve got probably 10 of them, but the bits are soft as charmin
leatherman is getting less and less necessary
True. I think without them we would be lost for clones to buy, LoL.
