MakitaE-00583 Impact XPS™ #2 Square 1" Insert Bit, 5/pk

Best Bit I have ever tried.

Used the square, Phillips , and Makita driver on about 300 1 1/4 inch screws and they all worked well.Nicely machined bits and the driver held tight. I am not certain if it is the machining ,the torsion centers , or both and the holder but there was no stripping or screw head snapping off at all.I understand that Makita manufactures in China but my experience with Apple ,Makita , and other brands lead me to believe that products made in China will be as good or bad as the manufacturer demands and that the emphasis is on quality, not primarily , cost.

I have found to be better quality and more durable than any other name brand similar items you can purchase at big box stores or on Amazon

The worst size to not have on hand. Without them you can't work

These are great bits. I have used them on our RV and they last a lot longer than the cheap brands I have bought in the past.

They are very good quality but they are too short for use with my 18V Makita Impact Driver (compact). When the bit is in my driver, it sticks out about 1/4". It is works but very disconcerting to have the driver right on top of the screw with almost no margin. I worry I may scratch the surface with the hex chuck.

A+
