Makita B-35097 Impact Gold Ultra-Magnetic Torsion Insert Bit Holder

Product Information

The Makita Impact GOLD® Ultra-Magnetic Insert Bit Holder is ideal for use with Impact GOLD® Insert Bits (sold separately), and is engineered for driving screws in a wide variety of demanding applications including deck building, framing, installing plywood subfloor, and more. In this article, we’re going to cover the two different types of drill bit holders, those which keep your workspace tidy and organised and those which attach to your drill for added convenience. The high quality steel construction is engineered for increased durability and features a matte nickel surface for best in class corrosion resistance. When you’re dry walling and want to sink your screws into a set distance so you can plaster over, leaving a smooth result, this is what you need.

If you’ve got a very hard-to-reach screw in a confined space, this could help; working screws at 45-degree angles, used mainly by trade professionals, works well with a cordless drill. The bit holder has a nice and strong magnet, which picked up 8 nuts and was the second strongest of the magnets we tested.Impact XPS® Bits are expertly engineered to withstand the hardest hitting impact drivers, drills and screwdrivers. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This is so good at holding screws (unless they are stainless or brass) you cannot keep dropping them now with this tool, you also cannot screw in too deep as it has a rotating stop, highly recommended. If you ever think of using them in the rain then you can usually kiss goodbye to them ever working properly again, not ideal for our weather.

It features a rare earth neodymium magnet that picked up 9 nuts in my test, blowing the competition out of the water.The Makita ImpactXPS 6" Magnetic Insert Bit Holder is ideal for use with ImpactXPS Power Bits (sold separately) for added holding power. It's a pleasure to know that the strong magnet will prevent tip overs while drilling, and the resulting screw tip gouge in the work piece.

The small o-ring type retainer spring which holds the bits inside the extension rod collapsed and now it is impossible to remove any bit with hand after inserting them. Again, the wrong bit head, and you’ll be looking for a whole new set rather than the appropriate holder. The bit holder is engineered to allow the torsion section of the bit holder to flex under load, taking pressure off the bit tip for increased durability in high torque applications. I believe these qualifications make me perfectly positioned to provide expert advice on many different areas of DIY as well as share all of the tips I have picked up in over a decade working on building sites!But there are issues, to start with there are hundreds of different magnetic bit holders available, some are amazing and others are crap. I chose this as it is a fairly simple and repeatable way to illustrate the different magnetic strengths of these bit holders. The bit holder from Bosch is a bit of a letdown in the magnet department, clocking in at only 3 magnets.

It holds onto the screws so tightly that I didn't have to worry about dropping them or losing them in my carpet. Makita Impact GOLD® is new innovation in fastening with a full line of insert bits, bit holders, nutsetters, socket adapters, and more. Made from plastic, you can Sharpie the sizes onto the holder so you know what bit heads are on each. Why complicate the matter, a bit holder should be a simple thing that just works, and this is exactly what this Milwaukee magnetic bit holder does. If you’ve got a screw at a slightly awkward angle, then an offset screwdriver is the answer; this will move up to 30 degrees in angle, allowing you to access those problematic areas.The design is very simple and much like the Milwaukee above, this is no bad thing though as I have already said.

The only downside is that the one bit you’ll need likely won’t be on there, and space is a limiting factor here. The Impact XPS® Insert and Power Bits are designed with superior fitment, torsion zone technology and a unique steel composition for up to 90-times longer performance life than standard bits. But then I remembered I had the Makita bit holder on my drill, so I waved it over the ground and voila!
