Better bits for Wheeler Fat wrench?

[999cs]

I recently bought a new wheeler fat wrench for torqueing down smaller things like optics, etc. I really like it but the few bits that came with it leave a lot to be desired. For those of you who use the fat wrench, can you please recommend some better replacement bits or bit set to use it with it that would work well for tinkering on firearms? I'm not a gunsmith, just an enthusiast.
Thanks

I got this and it's a great supplement to the Wheeler set.

These two give me about everything I need.

The screwdriver set is invaluable when matching up screw sizes.

That looks like it gives you a lot of options for the price. The masterforce brand though has bitten me in the past in regards to durability. How well have the bits been holding up for you?

I don't' see anything-your post is showing up blank for me for some reason.

I have not had any fail me yet with the exception of one of the very small hex bits twisting but that's not the tools fault IMO..

Thanks for including the info. I will check them out. That's good to know that they are holding up well for you.

If you really want to spend some coin - take a look at Fix-it-Sticks.

I bought a set and some extras for my range bag. Super handy - really expensive....

Fix It Sticks

Anyone using these for torqueing fasteners on their guns? They look nice. Has me thinking about upgrading from my Wheeler FAT wrench that I've used for years. https://store.fixitsticks.com/

I just googled fix it sticks. Wow-you weren't kidding. Those are really spendy. They do look very nice and look to be well made-so I imagine they will hold for someone even going into battle. A little too much to spend for me right now, so I will check out those other ones you suggested. Thanks though

I went to Lowe’s and just bought an Irwin hex set and an Irwin screwdriver set. They seem pretty nice and haven’t stripped yet like the far wrenches

Well I cannot recommend the Grace bits, the smaller Torq & Hex bits seem to be undersized and don't have very crisp edges.

Wiha brand bits are #1

Thanks for the additional suggestions everyone!

Don't normally say this, but, Brownell's is your best friend for these kinds of bits.
Specifically THIS set.

I've had and used these since about 1990 and haven't broken, bent, deformed or stripped any of them.
Lost one or two and bought a few as addons, but they've been perfect.

I was wondering when someone was going to mention the magna-tip sets

I bought these from Amazon for my Wheeler Fat wrench and general gun work about two years ago. They have held up very well so far.
