4.0 out of 5 stars BEST DUPLICATION PACKAGE January 29, 2012

By William E. Ellis

Other reviews warned about the duplication of the bits, but this is rediculous. I figure that if it is a good product, one would not need so many duplicates of the same thing. DeWalt would do much better by providing more bits that are different rather than have so many #2 phillips bits. The drill bits do not have the 1/4 inch hex fitting, so they are useless with a impact driver or impact drill without a special attachment. DeWalt has a quick connect conversion chuck for Impact drills and drivers, which fits very nicely int the extra storage compartment box. Maybe that was their plan all along. Other manufacturers do the same thing, provide duplicates of the cheapest bits to make it look like the buyer is getting a lot. Anyway, the quality is good and the storage box is very handy and durable (for plastic). Also, in time, unwanted duplicate bits can be replaced by ones actually needed, but not provided in the original set.

Dewalt DW2587 80-Piece Professional Drilling/Driving Set:

For the price paid for this set of drilling/driving bits a few duplications are of no consequence, you can always add the bits missing that you may use and want. But for a starter kit you can't go wrong with this set, the basics are there.

Some features are:

* Includes 17 black-oxide drill bits up to 3/8-inch size
* Set includes a variety of industrial screw-driving and fastening bits including the most common fitments
* Including:
--Phillips
--Square recess
--Slotted
--Star bits, with 1-inch and 2-inch power bits
--Black oxide drill bits from 1/16-inch to 3/8-inch diameter
--Socket Adapters for 1/4-inch hex to 3/8-inch hex with 1/4-inch shank

* Includes magnetic bit tip tray and professional box case (plastic) that keeps things handy and organized
* Includes hard plastic storage and carrying case that provides maximum durability for the contents
* Weighs 4.7 pounds

If you have the Dewalt ratcheting driver, a Craftsman 9-41796 Ratcheting Ready Bit Screwdriver, a Craftsman 43373, Koblat double-drive, a Stanley 66-358 Stubby Ratcheting Multi-Bit Screwdriver or other magnetic screw driver handles, everything is a 1/4-inch hex type head so it can be used on the screw driver. The exception is the drill bits are only round so you can't use them in the screwdriver, so they are useless with a impact driver or impact drill without a special attachment, but for your ordinary electric/cordless drill the bits work fine. This set could use a hex to drill chuck that would make it work. Dewalt has a quick connect conversion chuck for impact drills and drivers(DW0521), which fits very nicely in the extra storage compartment box. The Dewalt titanium-coated drill bits are some of the best I've used, they are extremely sharp.

So, there are a few faults, but the overall quality, durability, and usefulness far outweigh the negatives. Besides, this gives the user a reason to customize the set to their liking. There is plenty of room within the carrying case and the design of the case has that in mind, there are tongue and groove bit trays to go long with the phillips and slotted. Add a few accessories to an already excellent start and you'll have a real work-horse set. The bits and nut drivers work very well with other 1/4-inch hex shank interchangeable screwdriver handles. I have several that I use during assembly and I'm very pleased that I ordered this set.

Caveat:

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read tool instructions manual before operating product. Always use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection and proper respiratory protection in appropriate situations. Keep hands, body and loose fitting clothing clear of sharp edges and moving parts.

Very complete set. Handy carrying case and a great value. I was impressed at the selection of different bit styles. You are not going to have to run to the store for that 20mm torx head. Convenient,removable drill bit case and organizer bit strips.
