Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 48-32-1700 Insert Bit Screw Driving Set, 20-Piece
Customer Review: Great product at an awesome price!
Summary: 5 Stars
Milwaukee is a great brand, and this is a great product. With a high power magnet on the back, it will stick to anything metal.
A nice variety of bits, and a cool case to keep them in.
A great buy!
Customer Review: I bought it at 3 bucks so it's hard to complain but I will anyway.
Summary: 4 Stars
It's cheaply made. That's a sticker on the top of it, not the logo stamped on plastic and the color of my sticker doesn't match the case. The driver guide isn't the one pictured and I didn't really like the action on mine (something scratches the inner cylinder as it moves back and forth. I have an identical Chinese-made DeWalt driver-guide I got from a hex bit kit with slightly smoother action.
I criticized another reviewer for complaining about 7 identical bits, not realizing that the bit types and sizes are actually stamped in the plastic which bugs me more for some reason, as labeling it wrong makes it seem like a dumber thing to do.
It's also taller than I imagined. The bits are sitting at an angle and there is some additional clearance on the bottom beyond that so it's just a touch big for putting in your jeans pocket. I'd guess it's ~1.5 inches high.
The magnet is just not-quite powerful enough for my taste. It sticks to the side of a metal toolbox just fine but not with enough strength to avoid sliding down. Just a scotch more and it would be good. That should be easily upgraded though.
That said, I still like the design. It's a practical and reasonably compact way to carry bits around and fits fine in a coat pocket. The way it dispenses bits makes it easier to remember to put stuff back before reaching for another one and is faster and less messy than fishing around in a box. I'm unwilling to test it but the plastic seems to be of reasonable enough quality that you could drop it from 10' and not be surprised if nothing shattered.
I'd give it 2-3 star rating for mediocrity but hey, 3 bucks. Even at 10-12 bucks you're getting a fair number of hex bits that aren't redundant and a decent dohickey for selecting and storing them. It's just disappointing because it doesn't have that same Milwaukee feel that you get when you first see one of their metal drill bit cases. I'm guessing it's cheap because it's discontinued or is just not selling and I can see why. People buy Milwaukee because they like quality. This is practical and cheap but definitely not high quality.
Customer Review: It does everything the can be screwed.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an all in one driving set. It's small but has the ability to drive almost every type of screw. I needed it for the square head decking screws. the magnet on the back makes it easy to attach it to your toolbox.Customer Review: It is more trouble than it is worth
Summary: 2 Stars
It takes too much effort and difficulty selecting then removing and replacing the bits into their proper place.
Seemed like a good idea, but ended up taking them all out and putting them in one bin in my organization box.

The Milwaukee 48-32-1700 Insert Bit Screw Driving Set, is easy to use and I dont understand why others have a hard time with the mechanics of selecting and dispensing the bit they need. It works great.
