I'm not sold on it. A magnetic flippy bit can remove, turn the drill on with the magnet on your pants so it cleans, then blow out the bit and pop it back in. That's like new and can be done in seconds. To me that's just the best solution that I don't think can ever be improved upon. But this is interesting and a good video. Thanks for the info!
I need those. Well,I don’t actually “need” them,but I’m still gonna buy them. Makes life easier. Thanks for showing them. I get the feeling watching your channel is going to cost me money.
I love that model Makita nut drivers because they are so solid, tight and have a deeper hold than alot of others. As far as my favorite it is a toss up between the Makita and the Simpson StrongTie hex drivers. The Simpson have a perfect hold and driving with them is fun. I believe Makita has a set of those now.
The biggest problem is ALL magnetic nut setters lose the magnets. They also break on occasion. The spring sounds good but Amazon reviews say the ball gets jammed. Also, they don't come in all sizes.
Thank you very much for sharing this! I’m looking at place of my own, likely a mobile home, and this would be VERY helpful for some of the work on one unit I put an offer on.
bought mine in Feb, still on waiting list.........this is how rare this things are in Australia.... they also have makita detachable nutsetter, which still has magnet in it, but the socket can be detached. just like the dewalts.
My first thought as well, that would make 'em incredible. I've tried many different bits before but the Makita golds are amazing, abuse 'em daily in my trade since they're pretty much bullet proof and last forever so I rarely have to buy new bits.
Depending on the application, the diameter of the head is larger then most bits, and might interfere. I have the Dewalt flip bits but have not yet used them. I’m a big fan of the Malco bits.
Genrally, impact drivers are faster, have more torque and shorter "head". However, they are noisier, less precise and dont designed for delicate work. In most modern (and expensive) impact drivers you can change settings such as speeed, torque and more, just like drill drivers or hammer drill drivers. All brands produce brushless motors for most of their power tools.
You won't find an electric screwdriver worth buying over an actual impact driver, electric screwdrivers are mainly for diy homeowners with occasional use around the house since they're cheap+light+handle typical tasks that don't require a lot of torque or speed. Although there are a few expensive models worth the cost, you're mainly paying for convenience since they're smaller and easier to handle but for the price you're better off just buying an actual drill/driver of around the same size in 12v range.
I've used these for years b/c i work a lot w/ stainless & brass. Get them while you can, i believe these are getting phased out for the XPS line which are magnetic.
@@txtoolcrib I’m honest enough to admit that a little too often it falls more in line with having a mild obsession with tools than necessarily needing something.

Lol, I hear ya. These are very useful though. Great for stainless fasteners too.

The Matika hex accessories are outstanding. Right up there with the more expensive stuff.
I use a lot of stainless fasteners and they don't always hold in the magnetic drivers well, these drivers work great.
A point I should have brought up.

I like the 3 inch ones from ACE hardware they’re the best ones or the dewalt all black 3 inch ones too
Man, if only Makita made these reversible.

I haven’t tried the Malco drivers yet.
Malco reversible bits are awesome.
Great video.
Appreciate it.
What's the pros & cons of an impact driver over a drill/electric screwdriver ?
Genrally, impact drivers are faster, have more torque and shorter "head".

7/16 is also 11mm. Looks good
Works better. I like these drivers a lot.
@@txtoolcrib I was looking at Berland’s a local tool store. They have Vermont American drivers with the same spring clip.
Sweet.
Thanks.
Cool.
I've used these for years b/c i work a lot w/ stainless & brass.

line which are magnetic.
I really like these. I’m so tired of cleaning out the magnetic ones.
👍
Stop making me buy stuff, Ben.
Lol. If it makes you life or job easier, then it is money well spent.

@@Matt-ps9iz sounds like we might be a lot alike!
