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......................

Buy Snap-On. They come in red and usually do a proper full set without skipping numbers.
There drill bits are amazing. Like dangerous amazing.
You could sell the XR8 and pick up a nice socket set.
