Why no add on bit sets?
For those of us who sprung for one of the more expensive toolkits, why is there only a single add-on bit set (GE security bits, which I can't use)? I need a full set of basic home repair torx bits and larger hex bits for weaving loom and spinning wheels as well as furniture assembly. The main reason I bought the larger set but not the home business set (well in addition to being disabled and low income and unable to afford the "complete" set).
I already had more than half the bits in the pro set for a different handle/driver, but bought this set with yet another driver and a bunch of bits I didn't need on Amazon, and like an idiot assumed that I would be able to buy the rest of the bits on rails or get another empty driver case (another problem - the empty driver case comes with no foam bit holders???) to put the expansion bits into.
I'm feeling like a total dolt and don't understand why Ifixit would market these kits but offer virtually zero expansion options. My only option is to buy whole other kits with tons of duplicates. No way I'm getting suckered into making that mistake again. WTH??
Is this a good question?

Thank you - much appreciated. I'm trying to figure out which non-ifixit brand of bits to buy and seeing bad reviews and feeling really frustrated that I can't just get the bits from the home repair set without buying another full set that I can't use another duplicated 50-75% of the set. Thank you.
