Dam American made tools and I've been using their screw driver kits for around 40 years. Just ordered a few replacement bits I managed to screw up during that time.[;)][:)][:)][:)]

    Sounds like an operator error to me.

    I have a set of Chapman basic set I have owned and used for many years one broken bit [;)][B)] ( I have not replaced ) but they have took a lot of abuse over the years from me .

    I bought a larger ( more piece) set from cabals ,maybe brownells , It was on sale at Christmas its a Wheeler brand name made in China [:(]( like just about every thing )
    but so far its doing fine .

    Operator error maybe to a point. The smallest bit 1/16 broke in half and the one two sizes up a #4 has gotten so much used that the shaft is twisted but the end still works. One of the other bits is a bit rounded but still functions. Just thought I'd get some spares, you never know.

    I had a 1/2 inch drive extension that I used with a 3 foot Snap-On breaker bar. I couldn't find the 1/2 extension I normally used on it. Used the cheap Chinese one and the whole shaft twisted 180 trying to take a lug nut off.
