came across these when looking to bump my basket upto £20. seem a good price for a well known brand. they work out at 16p per bit which is very cheap if you ask me and always handy to have in.
i checked screwfix and they are selling them for £5.99 (http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-pozi-screwdriver-bit-box-pz-2-x-25mm-pk25/99783)
the only down side is that they are an add on item, but i suppose it will be of some use to a few people.

if you really need 25 screw bits the same size

Yep, I almost universally use PZ2 screws for my DIY stuff. So this is perfect. For me a set of mixed bits is next to useless.

ideal for an impact driver if your doing crappy work to be honest. in which case 25 isnt a bad idea... even the best do not last forever in an impact driver.

I'm not sure these are impact driver rated so they could be dangerous to use as regular bits can shatter when used with an impact driver.

They give you 25 because they are carp..It's a shame you have to go to places like Lidl to pick up a half decent set of bits..
The Ferrari of drills but Wanli remolds for tyres?.....sort it out Dewalt!!..
Dewalt quality has been dropping in recent years. I was not a Bosch user before but now they are the one I prioritize.

It is fishy that dewalt tools = v.good , these bits = carp or however you want to spell it.
Maybe they are the fakers friend ? Who would counterfeit bluespot or blackspur ? ?
I once had some bits marked only USA which were very good. I'll try those milwaukee bits - £6.50 at local toolstation.
edit - £6.75 del. on the auction site
Its a trade pack, not intended for impact drivers so not really a fair comparison, think of it as a months supply for someone who spends all day screwing

Have to agree with the previous comments - these are rubbish. Also a bit of a false economy, I have some older Wiha bits, and I reckon only 1 would easily outlast a box of these.
I have always found the Kamasa non slip bits to be cheap but reasonable - around a fiver for a tub of 15. They are also necked like the Milwaukee bits that seems to help with life in an impact driver.

Been buying these for years without issue, and you are quite right, the assorted varieties are next to useless for professional use. The only assorted ones I use are PH ones, hate using them, but often supplied in fixing kits, or to remove someone elses screws.

I bought a drill from Lidl a few years back and the bits that came with that lasted forever. The PZ2 I was using for about 1 1/2 years and it showed no real signs of wear. I lost it and bought a replacement that got chewed up in no time.
