nice video……jimbo……nice little driver for sure, I have 2 of them now anyway one left at camp and the second one was on sale so cheap I couldn’t pass on it….do you have a bird?
No no birds other than the ones feasting in my yard
What impact drivers have you tried the makita double ended bits in? I’ve never had a problem with fitting them in impact drivers.

They fit but they don’t lock in

EDIT: They lock in, but not the easiest and they don’t go in smoothly like your standard bits doc. Ive checked this on Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Ridgid, all to similar affect, you have to manually hold the collar to insert the bits, taking away 1 handed operation.

That’s strange, I’ve had the opposite experience. On some old impact drivers they go in one handed (albeit with a little bit of force) where other bits don’t. It must depend on how the locking mechanism is set up but I always figured there wasn’t much difference between locking mechanisms

Yea I feel like i really had to force it in, could just be the bits in this kit too
Nice review. Love my lil guy. Does pretty much everything.
