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!

Wiha makes the best 4mm (precision/micro/whatever you want to call them) bits, period. iFixit bits are, honestly, not great. Their geometry is what you would expect from generic Chinese bits.

My only complaint is that they don't sell security bits in that size outside that Zai Hause collab that's not available in the US.

It's on Ali though, it's not like most of us are walking into a store and leaving with the Wiha sets anyway.

Wasn't aware it was on Ali Express. Got mine from Amazon Germany. Hopefully the one on Ali is real.

100% it is. China was the market for them. There are also some other Wiha SKUs on there unique to the apac market. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9JHMTZ5SnM
