[REQUEST] Recommend a 1/8 Precision #1 Phillips Bit

[Appletax]

Got a Tekton aluminum manual screwdriver with spinning top.

I use the #1 Phillips bit often and it is time to replace it.

Don't know what to get!

Must be magnetic.

Any suggestions?

Have access to Menards and Fastenal.

Messaged them. They do not sell individual bits. This issue probably does not have warranty coverage.

Did you ask them about warranty coverage? Did you read the warranty? I've always heard they're pretty good about it.

The best screwdrivers, and great tools all-around, is Klein Tools. I used them professionally in the electrical trade and I use them now... they just stay good forever.

Klein for sure makes great tools.
On a decent budget side, every couple of years we get a few of those iFixIt kits. Company is based in CA, although I'm not sure where the tools themselves are made, probably right across the Pacific.

The best screwdrivers I have are Wiha. Here's an amazon link for #1 Phillips.

I did a few days ago but worded it such that it was not their fault and I wanted to purchase the bit, which they do not sell.

Sent them an email last night with different wording and they are mailing me a new bit lol.

I'll give iFixit a thumb's up. I bought one of their kits many years ago and the screwdriver handle uses O-rings as something for you to grab on to for a good grip. Well the O-rings eventually broke. I contacted them to purchase new O-rings, and they just sent me a new handle for free. Now, it is the the newer design that does not fit in the case, but still, it was free.

Wiha have been the best I have used if you just want a single bit you would I think need to order direct and pay shipping but you can find some inexpensive options for whole drivers or new kits.
