PSA: That $60 all-in-one screwdriver set was a total waste

Bought a cheap 50-bit screwdriver set off Amazon for $60 and the bits stripped after three uses on a Dell Optiplex. Lost an hour of billable time because I had to hunt down my old Wiha set to finish the job. Anyone else found a budget brand that actually holds up?

Same pattern as cheap power tools, you pay twice eventually.

Has anyone actually had that happen with a decent mid-range reel though? I've got a Daiwa that was like $80 and it's been going strong for 3 seasons now.
