3.0 out of 5 stars Nice set, July 14, 2007

This review is from: Hitachi 728119 Quick Change 20-Piece Drilling and Driving Set (Tools & Hardware)

The only complaint I have with this set (and it's a minor one), is that I can NOT get the case closed - as in fully snapped shut again. I have fiddled around with the bits repeatedly, but the case may never snap shut again. Why not make the case 1/8" bigger so it can be shut?

That aside, the drill bits are of average made-in-china quality. I snapped off two bits within days of purchasing this set. Nowadays, when I have serious drilling to do, I pull out the 3/8" B&D drill and get some real bits.

But for around the house, Harriet Homeowner stuff, this 20-piece quick change set is probably a good deal. Just don't expect it to hold up under heavy use.

I knew ahead of time what I was buying when I opted to purchase this kit from Amazon. I had purchased a few drill bits locally, but found them only marginally compatible with my Craftsman driver set due to slight design differences. As a result, my primary goal was to acquire the quick release.

Goal achieved. The bits are decent quality for light duty use in steady hands, but be warned - the drill bits are sensitive to any degree of lateral torque and will readily snap or separate from the base if subjected to it. The day after I purchased the kit, I let my 4-year-old son use them on a wood project he was exploring. He quickly broke the smallest three and the largest drill bits much to both our consternation, as he was trying his level best to be careful with them and was doing a good job. As a result, I switched the driver out with a quality fixed-chuck drill bit both for his safety and the longevity of the drill set.

But, again, for the price (I purchased for about $15.00), this one is worth the buy. And, if you are looking for "real tools" for your child, the quick release and driver bits are a *great* buy, but I do not recommend that you let them use the drill bits - at least not without assistance.

I've used these for a while now. I've has 2 of the drill bits break, but I did use them for a little while. The quick change is great, makes things get done a little quicker. I like the case, keeps things organized.
