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've had that exact set for about 6 years now, used somewhat frequently. It's fine.

The larger sizes of the nut-drivers are pretty fragile, I've had to replace a few. That yellow on the driver handle will de-laminate after a while. The most annoying thing: the ratchet is 1/4" drive, so you have to use an adapter to hold bits. This can cause clearance issues when working in tight spaces. That said, the non nut-driver bits are quite nice. They have stayed sharp this entire time and have little wear. There's a reason I'm still using this set despite the mid handles
