- 22 screwdriver bits and universal bit holder
- 11 drill bits for wood, masonry, metal
- 4 nutsetters
- 2 socket adapters
- Roll Mat
In case you haven’t noticed, the Ryobi RAK40RM is the only drill and screwdriver bit set on our list that comes in a roll-up pouch or Roll Mat, as Ryobi like to call it. It’s a 40-piece set that comes with 22 screwdriver bits, 11 drill bits and 4 nut setters. The screwdriver bits include 18 different types and sizes and some duplicates. The duplicates (2 x PH2, 4 x PZ2 and 2 x T25) are handy to have, but it’s probably more of a benefit to tradespeople who will use these regularly and like to have some spares just in case. For drilling, there are five HSS Drill Bits, three masonry drill bits, and three Brad Point Bits for drilling into wood. Finally, there are four nut setters that range in size from 5 to 8 mm.
All-in-all, the Ryobi RAK40RM offers a good set of bits for drilling and driving. The roll-up pouch is light and durable and although it won’t offer the same level of protection as a plastic case, it will fit more snuggly in a toolbox.
