Ok, so I finally bit the bullet a few months ago and got an 18V Bosch drill and impact driver set after using a 14.4V P+C set for years (no impact driver, though). Wow, what lightweight power. Anyways, I have a smattering of various bits and bit sets that I've acquired over the years, but I've found that I'm starting to destroy bits at an alarming rate with the impact driver. No spectacular failures yet, but I've noticed the tips on quite a few are now twisted, particularly the square drive and Torx bits that I've happened to use.
So, what I'm looking for are, as the thread title implies, 2" impact-rated driver bits, preferably in a sizable set covering the major styles and sizes of bits--Philips #1-3, T10-40, Square #1-3, various slotted, hex, etc. I absolutely cannot stand 1" bits in a magnetic holder. I've found that either the magnet is too week, so I'm constantly having to retrieve and reset the bit, or the fit is sloppy enough that the impact force wedges the bit into the holder, making it difficult to remove. That, and they're easy to fumble and lose with the paws I've got.
I've been on Google, Grainger, Lee Valley, Amazon, McFeely's, and McMaster-Carr for the last couple hours with no joy. A few sets had some of what I wanted, but then they'd throw in a couple dozen of those blasted 1" bits to boot. No joy.
If you know of a quality source, I'd love to hear about it. BTW, I consider these the gold standard of 2" #2 Philips bits, been using them for years, and they've done well in my impact so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=AP7Y42VSPR7U4
