Howdy howdy.  Can anyone recommend a good hex/allen bit set?  I have the wrenches already--I'm looking for the bits that would fit in a 1/4" driver, like the ones pictured below. 

Have search all over the place locally, and online.  Can't seem to find what I'm looking for.  The problem has been that most results are for automotive uses, and I need a kit that includes the tiny bits, like for the 1377 breech screw.

We use Bondus brand at work. Very good quality.

Wiha.  Very high quality but you'll pay a bit more.  These are very popular in the RC car/plane world.

Kobalts are good. Lifetime warranty.
I have a dirt cheap set that has never failed me.

Thanks for all the responses.  The Wiha set is out of my price range.  I can't click on the Brownell's link at work, but will try at home.  The Snap-On set is not what I'm looking for--those are keys, which I stated I already have.  I need bits. 

I think the Kobalts might be what I want to pay for, but I cannot find them online.  Colt25, can you help?  I have searched for 30 mins already this morning.

Kobalt are a Lowes brand.  Try Lowes.com or your local store.

I've been happy with an old Chapman kit that I've had for many years.

The current version is:  http://www.chapmanmfg.com/HK7321.html

Still made in USA.  Smallest hex is .050 - very handy, like for the 1377 breech screw.

Awesome kit.  Thanks for the link.  Still twice what I was hoping to pay, but maybe that's the going rate.

Jdub, I was deep, deep into Lowe's site, and still never found the Kobalt hex bits sold as a package.

1377x

I must agree with Ed spend few more bucks and get a better tool that will last much longer if money is a issue then just save up for them.
