I've asked before and got no good answer. *Doesn't ANYBODY make a good

I'd gladly pay $5-10 for a single bit that would last longer than a
hundred screws before it's useless garbage and I gotta reach for new
one like it was consumable sandpaper. *Why do ppl pay hundreds for

I was complaining about my Phillips the other day at work while
removing a large panel with nearly 100 screws. I stole the bit out of
the impact driver , the kind you hit with a hammer, and it worked
great. Seems its well tempered and hollow ground to grip the screw.
