Harbor Freight has the 100 piece security bit set on sale for $7.99. This is a great set and includes the bit you need for Gorf / Tron sticks.

Two questions about these:

- Are these the same quality as the 33 piece set? My bit broke on the 4th screw so I had to drill out #4 and #5.

- Is it possible to heat-treat these by getting them red hot and dropping in oil? I've heard that makes the metal much harder but don't know if that applies to these.
 
Two questions about these:

I can't answer either question except to say that I've been using mine for 3 years and haven't had any issues. That said, you have to expect anything you buy from HF to be temporary. I don't think anything they have is designed to last. I would expect it to make it past the 4th screw.
 
Damn, I just literally stopped there today and bought the 33 bit set for the same price. I'll let you know if it makes it past the 4th screw *crosses fingers*
 
That set is one of my longest lasting HF tools. I thought I would strip them out fast but so far none have.
The $7.99 is their normal sale price (every few adds) occasionally they have it for less. I bought mine the last time they had it for $4.99
You can get a 20% off coupon from Maxim magazine(every month) and they also have coupons for free flashlights every few months.

EDIT: I did write Top / Bottom on my case since after awhile if you open it upside down the bits get loose enough a bunch fall out.
