Stripped a screw head trying to use a cheap bit from a 20 piece set I got on Amazon
I spent 45 minutes drilling out a single rusted screw on my patio furniture because the bit rounded off after 2 turns, and now I have to replace the whole hinge bracket instead of just tightening it up, has anyone else had better luck with those impact rated bits at Home Depot?

Yeah, I feel your pain on those Amazon bit sets. It's like they're made of really soft metal or something, they just give up the second you put any real force on them. I've noticed this pattern everywhere now, you buy a cheap tool and you end up spending way more time and money fixing what it breaks. It's like you end up paying for that "bargain" ten times over in frustration and new parts.

Wait, you've actually had bits break on you that bad?
