I've a got the small Makita impact screw driver. It has smashed its way
through all my bits so I am looking for replacements.

Any recommendations?

I bought this set a couple of years ago (on recommendation of somebody
here ISTR) http://www.screwfix.com/prods/38206
I've only had to discard one bit so far.

Wiha or Wera

As far up the range as you can afford to go.

I recently collected together all the bits that had survived long term
heavy usage - they were mostly Wiha Dura bits.

I've had the opposite experience & found that the more expensive ones
shatter! I buy the plastic tic tac boxes of 20 or so bits, last lot DeWalt
on offer @ SF or Wickes own label - About a £5 a box maximum.

Not very good in an impact driver in my experience - they shatter.
Presumably they are given a much higher temper to slow down wear in a
normal driver. Cheapos, if you get the right box, can last better
than those, or the Dura ones are the best.
