Pittsburgh Screwdriver Bit Set

This item is a screwdriver bit set, housed in a blue, hinged plastic case. The case organizes approximately 60-70 individual driver bits, primarily hex shank, indicating their use with power drills or impact drivers. The bits themselves appear to be made of steel, exhibiting a metallic grey or silver finish, consistent with hardened tool steel. Various tip types are discernible, including Phillips, flathead, and possibly Torx and hex drive bits, suggesting a comprehensive general-purpose set. The bits show some signs of use, with minor scuffs and slight discoloration, but no overt signs of heavy wear, rust, or damage that would impair their function. The plastic case, while functional, shows some wear, particularly on the interior lid where there is a yellow insert with diagrams and a partial printed warranty notice. This notice is for 'Pittsburgh, Limited Lifetime Warranty' and includes the product number 'P-36557'. This suggests the set is a product of the Pittsburgh brand, likely marketed by Harbor Freight Tools. A piece of tan masking tape is visible on the yellow insert, securing what appears to be a separate paper insert or a torn part of the original packaging. The overall condition suggests a used but well-maintained tool set, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given the commonality of such sets and the 'Limited Lifetime Warranty' marketing. The quality appears to be standard for a professional or DIY-level general-purpose bit set.
