Makita Ultra Magnetic Gold

Has anyone ever used this before? I drove a few screws in with it….it was one of those “Why didn’t I think of that” moments…lol

The new makita Gold stuff is pretty cool, not bad for 5 bucks.

I haven’t used it but it seems good. The 2x strength applies to impact drivers as they produce 4x the torque of that drill.

Makita is expanding their Impact Gold line(at least in HD stores). The next thing will be double-sided impact bits(both ends are phillips and both ends will fit in your impact). I just moved to a different department, but one of the last new items I got was a huge box full of new Makita bits. 

What department are you moving to? I hope something that’s as fun as power tools.

Is there such a thing?

Unfourtantely not :/ I am moving to Flooring(I’ve sold three Ridgid wet saws of different sizes already in a week). My last customer I helped at the end of my last shift I sold a Milwaukee Fuel Hammer and Impact Combo(my fifth of the week) with a free Sawzall to a kid whose dad was buying it for him as a gift, was a good one to go out on.

I recently bought into the Makita gold bits for my impact driver. I like having the option of removing the magnetic sleeve. The magnets are super strong and hold large screws for one handed fastening. I replaced my Milwaukee shock wave Impact bits with these because The shock waves were crap. I twisted the torx/star and the Phillips bits so bad that they could barely drive a screw anymore. The black Oxide coating wore off after the first few screws. Makita bits are the best.

I bought a pack of the 2 headed Makita Gold’s today. We’ll see how the work out. If I can get Milwaukee performance and Dewalt longevity I’ll be a happy camper.

I bought some of the bits (#2 Phillips, I think) but haven’t used them much… Just drove some additional screws into my parent’s fence gate, maybe a dozen total.

I might buy some of these, hear they are good.
