A few people have advised me that Snap-On's gold (heavy-duty) Hex and Torx Bits are superior to the competition for everyday use. At least for non-extraction purposes.
Supposedly the gold coating is the same coating (titanium nitride) that is used on drill bits and allows for better wear characteristics. Fitment of the bit is also supposed to be better since they are on the larger end of spec.
Are there any truth to those comments or is it all fanboy BS?
