The Bosch Mini-X-Line is the most affordable screwdriver bit set to make it onto our list. It comes with a magnetic bit holder, 16 x 25 mm bits, and 8 x 50 mm bits. Markings etched on the side of each bit tell you its type and size, so there’s no need to guess. The bits come in a hard plastic case with a sliding cover. It’s not the toughest case we’ve come across, but its slimline design won’t take up much space when storing it.
Overall, the Bosch Mini-X-Line is a good choice if you’re on a budget but want a set of screwdriver bits that will last for many years.

- 5 nut setters
- Magnetic bit holder
- Screwdriver bit holder
- Plastic case
Next on our list is the Ryobi RAK59SD, which is a 59-piece screwdriver bit set that includes a screwdriver bit holder for occasions where you’d rather do things by hand. The set comes with 52 screwdriver bits in total. Fifteen of these bits are 50 mm long, which will prove useful for accessing screws in tight spaces or in recessed holes. It’s worth mentioning that over a dozen of these bits are duplicates. While DIY enthusiasts and professionals may find this useful, the occasional user probably won’t need so many. Also included are five nut setters for fastening hexagon-headed screws and bolts.
The Ryobi RAK59SD is a useful screwdriver bit set that’s superb value for money. The screwdriver bit holder is handy and the nut setters too. However, it would be better if they colour-coded the bits or have their positions marked in the case, which makes it easier to find the right one.
