In 1923, the world-famous HOLLYWOOD sign was installed in Los Angeles, California. However, the first character had the addition LAND at the end.

In 2008, he put his life up for sale on eBay for $309,292 and was able to break out of his home and travel the world. 5. First Captain America Comic Book 1941 - $175,200
For decades, Captain America has been one of the most beloved superheroes by fans. Before being portrayed by charming actor Chris Evans, Cap's fans could only see him in animated television shows and comics. The very first comic book featuring Captain America came out in 1941. Of course, it can be considered a priceless artifact, so when it was sold on eBay for $175,200 it wasn't much of a surprise. 4. Ford Mercury Hot Rod from Grease - $180,100
In 1978, the musical-romantic comedy Grease was released, and for many years everyone sang a song from this film. The film that launched the acting careers of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John is also one of the highest-grossing musical films. The iconic Ford Mercury Hot Rod from the film was auctioned off on eBay in 2014 for $180,000. It was reportedly purchased by a big Grease fan. 3. Nintendo World Championship Video Game Series - $99,902

The seller currently holds the record for the most expensive video game sale of all time. 2 Olive Green Hermes Birkin Bag - $79,000
There is not a single fashionista who would not dream of a Birkin bag. The leather bag, which was named after actress Jane Birkin, is a symbol of wealth due to the fact that it costs crazy money and often appears in the hands of celebrities. Prices for a Birkin bag can range from $11,000 to $300,000, depending on the leather or fabric used to make it. No wonder this bag has become the most expensive bag sold on eBay. Hermes Birkin olive, Porosus Crocodile, bought for $79,000. 1 Michael Jackson Crystal Glove - $19,000
The incredibly talented legendary pop singer Michael Jackson has tragically passed away at the age of 50. This artist was known for his unique dance moves, incredible hits and a style that fans still imitate to this day. One of his trademark highlights was a crystal glove he wore on his left hand. This unique and stunning glove first appeared in 1983 at the famous Motown Records 25th Anniversary Ceremony, where Jackson also made his first moonwalk. The glove sold on eBay for $19,000. Without equipment, such an electric tool as a screwdriver is completely useless. It is the bits that give him the opportunity to spin quickly and a lot. Of course, the quality of the working tool matters - equipment that is erased after the third screw is not uncommon in the domestic market.
Our review presents the best screwdriver bit sets that are distinguished by quality and durability. The rating of models in different categories is based on the characteristics declared by the manufacturer and assessments of specialists using these materials in their work.
Best Mid-Segment Bit Sets
3 BISON (31 pcs.)
Anti-slip notches on the working part of the bit
Country Russia
Average price: 1189 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
The presented set of one-sided BISON bits is designed for dismantling and mounting of threaded fasteners using a screwdriver. The package includes an adapter and 31 bits 25 mm long. Tooling is made of durable chrome molybdenum steel, thanks to which it is designed for the longest service life even under heavy loads. This set is designed taking into account the need to work in places with limited access, for which the working surface of the "sting" has a special sharpening. Additional ergonomics in the process of using and changing equipment is provided by a magnetized tip.
Due to the presence of small notches on the bits, the risk of equipment slipping from the fastener is minimized, which prevents damage to it. This set comes in a plastic case for easy storage and transportation.
2 KRAFTOOL 26154-H42 (42 pcs.)
Best price
A country:
Average price: 1089 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
On the favorable side, another contender for the title of the best showed itself - a set of bits from the nominally German manufacturer Kraftool. All items contained in it are made of chrome-vanadium alloy, which has high strength indicators, as well as an optimal balance in the "hardness - ductility" pair.
The decision of manufacturers to attribute the case to the number of items contained does not seem entirely correct, so many buyers have a completely natural dissonance. The fact is that, by definition, the set contains 42 items, although in fact there are 41 of them. A small oversight in the manufacturer's camp (the product is made in China) quite unexpectedly became the main problem. If you look at the kit from the standpoint of quality, then it will not cause any particular complaints. I am very pleased with the presence in it of an adapter from a standard shank size (1/4 inch) to a square 3/8 inch. All in all, this is a worthy purchase candidate, despite the presence of such an obvious oversight.
Tooling for a screwdriver is actually not as numerous as it seems at first glance. The table shows the most common bits with markings and existing sizes.
1 Bosch 2607017164 (43 pcs.)
Long service life
A country: Germany (made in China)
Average price: 1450 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
In recent years, the Bosch name has become synonymous with quality. Even the fact that most of the products are produced in China does not interfere with this. The Bosch 2607017164 bit set is just one of these, but they are very popular and respected among domestic users.
The box includes 43 items:
- six bits 75 mm long;
- 32 standard bits for a length of 25 millimeters;
- several magnetic holders (universal and quick-change).
Among the main qualities of the set, one can distinguish really strong material, marked according to a certain type, a convenient rubberized case and magnetic holders, which cause some resonance among the owners. In some assemblies, these holders are weak and do not provide proper fixing of the bits, while others fix the bits tightly. Be that as it may, the kit fully pays for the costs and guarantees proper operation over a long period of time.
The best premium bit sets
The category contains bit sets from various manufacturers with one thing in common: they are the best deals on the market. They are the first in versatility, quality, durability and, of course, price - such equipment cannot be cheap.
4 Wiha XLSelector T-Bit (41830)
The strongest bits. Lifetime Warranty
Country: Germany
Average price: 5590 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Screwdriver accessories from Wiha are characterized by high reliability and quality. This set consists of 30 short bits (25 mm) with a tip of three types (PH, SW, TORX) and a universal magnetic holder. The T-Bit marking indicates that, compared to standard bits, these products have increased strength. XLSelector T-Bit will last 120 times longer - this is what the manufacturer claims, and there is no reason to doubt his words.
In addition, despite the small size, the bits have a torsion part and can be successfully used with impact screwdrivers. It is hidden under plastic that glows in the ultraviolet spectrum - this makes it easier to find a dropped bit. And it’s definitely worth bending over for it - the company gives a lifetime warranty on this set. By the way, the high-strength plastic of the ergonomic pencil case is also resistant to external influences and will serve not only the owner, but also his heir.
3 JONNESWAY S29H4135S (35 pcs.)
The best choice of the pros. High resistance to heavy loads
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 3120 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
JONNESWAY, a professional tool manufacturer, presents the S29H4135S screwdriver bit insert set, which will be the best choice for both household tasks and small production or repair shops. Users note the exceptional quality and versatility of this set, which, moreover, demonstrates increased resistance to maximum loads.
The set includes 35 items, including 28 bits with a 10 mm shank, 4 bits with a length of 14 mm and 3 adapters 3/8 and ½ inch, which do not lose their original characteristics throughout the entire operational period. The presented set is completed in a metal case that promotes more comfortable process of transportation and storage.
2 Milwaukee Shockwaves (56 pcs.)
Original shape and increased reliability
Country: USA
Average price: 2210 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Milwaukee is strikingly different from its competitors in its ardent support of its own corporate identity, and is rightfully considered a major player in the construction equipment market. It's no wonder their 56-piece Milwaukee Shockwave serial bit set wins #2 on our list.
The main difference between this set and others lies in the geometry of the working part of the nozzles. Each individual bit is designed in accordance with the proprietary Shock Zone technology, which prevents the working part from breaking due to excess pressure. High internal elasticity and low susceptibility to impact loads are ensured by the aspect of the unique shape and heat treatment, prudently incorporated into the technology complex. In general, the set has no serious flaws and is able to last for many years, as evidenced by user reviews.
1 Metabo 626704000 (71 pcs.)
High quality tooling
Country: Germany
Average price: 1782 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Real aesthetics for any master, attractiveness in every single element. Only by breaking into the notorious advertising lyrics can one adequately describe this unique set of bits from another German company. Metabo 626704000 is a combination of stunning appearance and equally outstanding performance, fine-tuning a standard chromium and vanadium alloy to optimal mechanical performance.
Each bit, depending on the type of slot, has its own color marking, which makes it possible to change the equipment on the screwdriver automatically after a short getting used to the set. To the great delight of users, the manufacturers from Metabo prudently added bits with an elongated base (75 mm) to the kit, since it is often very difficult to work with standard 25 mm. The case also does not fail: compact and lightweight, it does not contain anything extra and takes up little space on the tool shelf. In the aggregate of all the listed advantages, this set is worthy of the highest praise, even despite not the lowest cost.
Best Bit Sets: Minicases
Minicases for screwdriver bits are highly ergonomic - they are not only pleasant to work with, but also convenient.
4 Wera WE-056374 Bit-Check 10 BiTorsion
The best choice for large volumes of work
Country: Czech Republic
Average price: 4092 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
The Wera Bit-Check 10-Piece Universal Set is made from heavy-duty hardened steel for the longest life. The presence of a torsion zone in the bits, which is 20% softer than the tip, makes it possible to avoid its abrasion at an increased kinetic load. To increase the service life of the screwdriver bits, it is also recommended to use a special holder from Wera. It is equipped with special torsion springs that minimize the load due to the shock-absorbing effect.
Thanks to the fact that the universal holder is equipped with a quick-change chuck, changing nozzles is carried out with one hand. An additional advantage of this set is the presence of a convenient case with a soft backing, which contributes not only to secure fixation of bits, but also to their quick extraction during operation.
3 Ryobi 5132002257 (40 pcs.)
The largest set in the category (40 items)
Country: Japan
Average price: 1108 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
A set of bits from Ryobi is very difficult to attribute to minicases for one simple reason - the dimensions of this set are closely matched to the standard dimensions of full-fledged sets. However, this does not detract from the high quality of the equipment contained in it.
As in many other sets, the main bet in Ryobi 5132002257 is made on duplication of the most common bits, and in the length variant of both 25 and 50 millimeters. All nozzles are made of high-strength tool steel, and, to everyone's surprise, despite not the highest cost, they perfectly withstand workloads. The main claims relate to the design of the magnetic holder. If in competitive models this item is made in the form of a massive sleeve with a magnetic base recessed into it, then here its design does not inspire much confidence, representing, in fact, a long sleeve pressed onto a hexagonal shank. But when you see the cost, you simply turn a blind eye to this - the set looks very attractive, especially when compared with the other assortment.
2 Metabo 630454000 (20 pcs.)
The best margin of safety
Country: Germany
Average price: 892 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
The smallest and, in combination, the most expensive set of screwdriver bits is in third place in the ranking of the best. The Metabo 630454000 case contains only 19 bits and a standard magnetic nozzle, but the amount is more than offset by the highest quality. And the point here is not only in the steel used: structurally, the body of the bit has an increased cross section, which creates additional resistance to the resulting torque.
Actually, this set no longer contains any features: the main points are associated with a small compact case, clips (holders for bits) of which can be removed, as well as an increased margin of safety of the nozzles themselves, the moderate operation of which will take an enormous amount of time.
1 Bosch X-Pro 2607017037 (25 pcs.)
Very convenient to use
Country: Germany
Average price: 899 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Another representative of the Bosch company is an image of a purely working set without pretensions for aesthetics and other surroundings. Very practical, compact yet reliable, this set has also received a lot of feedback from consumers, who equally flattered the high quality of the bit components.
In addition to the standard set of short 25mm bits, the X-Pro 2607017037 set includes elongated 50mm bits, for which I especially want to thank Bosch. The situation with the magnetic holder came out almost identical to Ryobi, but here it inspires much more confidence. But the main advantage of the kit lies in the design of the case. X-Pro 2607017037 is equipped with inclined clips and, instead of frantically taking out each individual item from a static position, you just need to take any of them with a slight movement of your hand, and after use, just put it back. It is for consumer orientation that this set wins the first line of the rating in the minicase category.
The best torsion bit sets
This type of tooling is specially designed for high performance tangential impact screwdrivers. The difference from a regular bit is that between the shank and the slots there is a narrower insert - a torsion bar. As a rule, this area is covered with plastic insulation, but it is better to focus on the packaging - sellers often sell ordinary elongated bits as shock bits.
4 Dewalt IMPACT Torsion DT70560T
Best Set Layout
Country: USA
Average price: 1350 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
The popular American brand produces not only a reliable tool. A set of accessories for Dewalt IMPACT Torsion DT70560T impact drivers is able to provide the owner with the necessary slots for quite a long time. The size range does not just go up - the most popular sizes are supplied in larger quantities, so in case of wear, you do not have to buy a new bit.
So, in one of the best and thoughtful sets there is an increased number of the following sizes: PH2 (5), PH3 (2), PZ2 (10), PZ3 (3), T25 (2), T30 (3). Such an arrangement deserves nothing but respect - the manufacturer has collected the most popular and popular material for professional work, and not just released a set of bits in a beautiful package.
3 BOSCH IMPACT CONTROL + QUICKRELEASE BOSCH 2.608.522.327
Reinforced torsion bar
Country: Germany
Average price: 699 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
The world-famous manufacturer Bosch has released a line of Impact Control series bit sets, which are characterized by maximum strength thanks to a reinforced torsion zone. This accessory has proven itself when carrying out large volumes of work with impact screwdrivers. The Bosch Impact Control set we are reviewing includes six impact nozzles. They are unique, and each has a laser marking of the manufacturer.
The magnetic holder included in the set with a unique quick-release fastener and a long leg helps to securely and quickly fix the bit. The Bosch Impact Control kit is user-friendly and designed for a long service life.
2 Metabo Impact
Convenient lodgment
Country: Germany
Average price: 1635 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
For powerful screwdrivers, a professional bit set from the German manufacturer Metabo Impact is perfect, which includes two types of PZ and T nozzles of various sizes and a magnetic holder. This tool is made of chrome-plated vanadium steel, thanks to which it has a long service life and can be used at maximum loads.
The Metabo Impact bit set has a convenient plastic cradle, which makes storage and transportation much easier. All products of this manufacturer are certified and meet the quality standards of the European market, which indicates its reliability and durability.
1 WERA BIT IMPAKTOR SET WE-057690
The most efficient kit
Country: Germany
Average price: 6399 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Large and easy to use, the WERA BIT IMPAKTOR SET WE-057690 set of high quality percussion bits is the best choice for the professional. The set includes 29 bits, which are located in a convenient stand with a soft backing and are marked by color, which greatly simplifies their extraction and selection in the process of work. The set also includes a magnetic holder with a spring retaining ring, which guarantees a secure fixation of the nozzle in any position of the instrument.
In the manufacture of impact bits WERA BIT IMPAKTOR SET WE-057690, the TriTorsion system is used, which has double twisting zones. Even with very intensive work, these nozzles demonstrate excellent performance. Accidental displacement of the bit from the head of the screw (self-tapping screw) is practically excluded due to the deposition of diamond grit on the tip of the slotted part of the equipment.
Ebay, the world's largest online auction, allows users from all over the world to sell and buy almost any product, sometimes even quite unexpected. At the same time, the amounts of transactions often reach astronomical values. We present an overview of the 10 biggest deals in the history of eBay, which resulted in the sale of very original items.
10. Life of Jan Asher. Price - $309,292
In 2008, 44-year-old Jan Asher set out to disprove the fact that everyone's life is priceless by listing his own on eBay. Surprisingly, he managed to sell it for $309,292. A turning point came in the life of an Australian - he divorced his wife and wanted to get rid of his own life. After an unknown person purchased it, Asher went to him in an old T-shirt, torn jeans and a passport in his wallet. Later, he wrote on his website specifically for the alife4sale.com project that he is still not sure what exactly inspired him to this crazy step - stupidity and shortsightedness, or a midlife crisis. "In any case, selling one's own life is still listed as one of the 10 craziest deals on eBay.
9. Baseball bat Barefoot Joe Jackson. Price - $577,610
Baseball player Shoeless Joe, whose best sports years came at the beginning of the 20th century, received such an unusual nickname while playing for a team from South Carolina. In one of the games, he experienced severe pain due to numerous calluses that appeared on his legs. The American athlete decided to take off his shoes and ran the whole match in just socks. Shoeless Joe's name reappeared on people's lips in 2001 when his "Black Batsy" baseball bat was sold on eBay for $577,610. A 90cm bat made from hickory wood and adorned with black tobacco was put up for sale by the nephew of a famous baseball player who must have been in dire need of money.
8. Car "Enzo Ferrari". The price is $1,000,000.
Enzo Ferrari car
The Italian supercar "Enzo Ferrari" is not only one of the coolest sports cars on the market, but also one of the rarest - today there are only 399 models worldwide. This car has become the goal and dream of many motorists. Naturally, when in 2004 this handsome man went on sale on eBay, there was no end to those who wanted to buy it. The winner of the auction was a citizen of Switzerland. This speedy monster cost him $1 million, making it the most expensive car ever bought through an online auction.
7. Honus Wagner baseball card. The price is $1,100,000.
Probably baseball is very popular among eBay users. How else can one explain the fact that a small baseball card with the image of a popular Pittsburgh team player Honus Wagner in the early 20th century was sold at auction for such a huge amount of money? In order to get closer to the answer, it is worth knowing about the background. At the time of baseball's popularity, the American tobacco company began to print baseball cards with the image of the most famous players and sell them along with packs of cigarettes. Wagner himself, who hates tobacco smoke and advocates a healthy lifestyle, strongly protested against this idea and ultimately forced the company to suspend production of cards with his photograph. As a result, only 200 Wagner cards have survived to this day. The baseball player card first appeared on eBay in 2000 and was immediately bought by sports fan Brian Siegel for $1.1 million.
6. City of Bridgeville in California. The price is $1,770,000.
The small California town of Bridgeville, with an area of 33 hectares, on which there are 8 houses, a post office, a cafe and 30 residents, was formerly privately owned by the Lapple family. They bought the town back in 1973, but decided to get rid of it in 2002 by putting the town up for auction on eBay. An interesting fact is that the winner, who did not regret such a large amount and planned to develop this town, put it up for sale again a few years later. Subsequently, the provincial town found new owners, but for a much smaller amount of money.
5. House with a bunker. The price is $2,100,000.
Realtors Gregory Gibbons and Bruce Francisco bought the old missile base, wanting to turn it into an underground bunker with a two-story house on the ground. The construction of the future house, located in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, began shortly after the tragic events of September 11, as, according to the authors, this house would have been in great demand among a large number of wealthy families. Realtors themselves valued the house at $18 million, but sold it on eBay for just $2.1 million. With breathtaking mountain views from every window, the house has fortunately not yet had to fulfill its original function.
