I would prefer to buy a set and have a nice case to hold them. But, I just know that when I go to grab a drill bit, the kit won't have the exact size I need, which then means I have to go and buy that size separately, then have nowhere to fit it in the fancy case. So, I WANT THEM ALL, not a token selection made by a product planner who probably doesn't even use said tools.
Same concept applies to other drill bits and drivers, screwdrivers, sockets and ratchets......................

I don't bother with sets any more, most times you have bits you won't ever use, I just buy the common size I use, been doing this for over 40 years and been really cheap for me in the long run.
OBTW, don't tell your neighbours this, as they are good for borrowing from when you need that odd size.
