This Harbor Freight Security Bit Set Is A Total Game-Changer For DIYers

For some people, DIY might not go much further than putting up a picture or a shelf. Others, braver still, become more involved with fixing things around the house and yard, and there's a plethora of tools and supplies that many DIYers will want to own to help them. Then, there are those homeowners who are completely unhindered, enthusiastically taking on all manner of challenging repairs.

However, even if you have the skillset or you can find clear instructions and helpful videos, manufacturers often put obstacles in the way. They make it difficult to get inside many gadgets and appliances by using what are called security fasteners. Instead of a common Phillips screw, they use a Torx or any one of a half dozen other strange types of fasteners. So, although you might know the reason why your dishwasher is making an unusual noise, for example, you still can't access it without a special tool.

Fortunately, there's a total game-changer for keen DIYers, and it comes from Harbor Freight, making it budget-friendly as well. It's the Warrior 100-Piece Security Bit Set, and it's neatly laid out in its own case so you can quickly access whichever bit you need. Better yet, it costs just $8.99. Let's take a look at what you get for your money.

https://www.harborfreight.com/...The Harbor Freight Warrior security bit set will allow you to work with hex, Pozi, Torx, star, spline, and several other fasteners, plus the usual slotted and Phillips screws. Each bit has the standard ¼-inch hex fitting and is made from durable chrome-vanadium steel. A quick-change magnetic bit holder that can be used in a drill/driver is also included, as are adaptors from 25mm and 50mm to ¼-inch, so the bits could also be used with a ratchet.

It's a comprehensive collection, and when you consider how much it will cost to repair your washing machine or other appliances, it's remarkable value for money. It also gets a great deal of positive feedback from owners. Almost 4,000 of them give it an average rating of 4.6 stars, and 95% would recommend it. Numerous buyers talk about how handy the set is, noting that it includes every bit they wanted. One person did point out that they aren't suitable for use with impact drivers, because the force those tools generate can damage standard bits, but you wouldn't usually be applying that kind of pressure to small fastenings anyway. For most DIYers, most of the time, the Harbor Freight security bit set will be all they need. (reviews via Harbor Freight)
