That $40 'premium' screwdriver set snapped on my second use, and the fine print said 'not for impact use' after I checked

An old contractor told me to stop buying gimmicky multi-bit sets and just grab a single fixed handle #2 Phillips from the hardware bin, and after breaking four bits in one afternoon I finally switched to solid shank drivers that last years.

Four bits in one afternoon? I mean that sounds like a pretty rough day but maybe you were just leaning on them too hard or using the wrong size. I've got a cheap $15 Stanley set that's held up fine for basic furniture assembly and random home stuff for like two years now. Unless you're building a deck or framing a house I really don't think the solid shank drivers are gonna change your life that much.

Fair enough, but I've snapped cheap bits on basic IKEA stuff.
