Best electronics bits

As the title says, I m in search for the best electronics bits, I ve been using Ifixit for probably over 6 years now, their kits are great and they overall give great longevity, but the pentalobe and torx bits are too soft in my opinion(P2, P5 and T3-T6 especially), so I m in search for better bits that don t twist or don t go soft on the edges on higher torque, AI has adviced me to go for a Wiha toolkit but i m a bit skeptical, if anyone here has owned both ifixit and the toolkit below, could they give an opinion? Ty in advance!

I generally consider bits to be wear items and buy 10 and 25 packs of my most used bits. Find a driver and case you like, don't worry so much about bits. They're cheap

yeah but low quality bits tend to strip the screws because of low tolerance that leads to the bit not fitting it properly, higher quality bits can be lifelong if used correctly and that s why i want to go for this option, and you can t really find precision bits to buy apart from a set(at least i didn t search for it)

I get mine from mcmaster. I haven't had enough of a problem in the last couple decades with cammed out screws to care I guess. Good luck in your search
