I assemble a lot of stuff in my shop, from tools for Fine Woodworking articles to electrical panels for my motor home, and I often find myself scrambling to find bits for non-typical fasteners.

Chapman Manufacturing’s Master Kit No. 5575 solves those frustrations. The kit includes an impressive array of driver bits—Phillips, Allen, straight, square-drive, and star—as well as an assortment of metric socket-head drivers and Torx bits. The 53-piece kit also includes a 1/4-in. socket adapter, a screwdriver handle, a 3-in. extension, and a midget low-profile ratchet handle for those hard-to-reach fasteners inside tool cabinets.

The set is ideal for assembling and fine-tuning woodworking equipment, and it will come in handy around the house and garage, too. It comes neatly packed in a durable plastic case with removable bit trays.
