I buy stuff in Harbor Freight all the time. All those tools you bought I also have and are good, with the exception of the drill bits. The hex will spin free when you're doing an important job. I bought them for quick change purpose when using my impact driver. Won't buy them again. I'll just use my regular chuck driver with regular drill bits. One thing I love at Harbor Freight is the big rolling tool cabinets, but I just don't have the room for one.☹️. A favorite tool is the 5 in one flush cutting tool. I use it all the time. I think it was $20. Remember to use real goggles when using those wire wheels. They can throw those wires when you least expect it. 😊👍

Oooh never heard of the hex coming loose on the drill bits! I'm mostly using them for wood, plastic, and thin metal. I broke one already, I forget on what, but I remember it being my fault. Good note though! I also plan to get another rolling too chest from them at some point. I'll have to look into the flush cutters. Yes I have def had my run ins with flying wires from those wheels, including one sticking into my forehead and I didn't know why my face hurt until I went inside and saw in the mirror, hahaha.
