I used to use a bit and brace but found it dangerous in that it was easy to wander. I now use a ratchet with an extension, both slot bit and cross bit. More control. I also carry an array of sockets to use the ratchet and extension for rim bolts. For the screw head bits get Snap-On, they are very strong. They are guaranteed for life just as Craftsman but do not break as often. You'd go through 3 Craftsman bits to Snap-On. I proved it many, many years ago. Ditto for screwdrivers. Craftsman may be less expensive but it doesn't help when in the middle of the job they Snap-Off. -- Regards, Jon Page
