Got this kit for Christmas. Thanks for explaining the magnet ring. I was confused at first, and now I wish I’ve had it on so many jobs. Great content.

I just bought this XPS set and totally satisfied with it performance

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I still have no complaints. I've actually stopped using my DeWalt bits as I just love using these.

@Saward420 2 года назад

I’ve been working as a handyman for a few months. For the first bits I’ve actually bought myself I couldn’t be more satisfied

@tgltoday2717 2 года назад

I'm glad you are liking them. I still love them. I will say that about a month ago I was framing in a window and using the square #1 driver bits on some framing screws and it kept stripping out as I needed to be real careful not to overtighten and split the wood. I tried one of the Bosch square #1 and it worked great. No spin out and did exactly what I wanted. I was disappointed in this, as I don't like the Philips #2 or T25 Bosch driver bits at all. I'm glad I have more then one set as in my experience, the XPS are not the best for all types of fasteners. 99% of the time I'm using T25 or Phillips #2 so I'd still go with the XPS bits no doubt.

@lcook0825 3 года назад

These are the best bits you can buy right now. Hands down.

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I like them a lot. I will be doing some big projects with them this summer. Glad they are working out so well for you.

@LilasTools 3 года назад

Bosch bits are okay, but wear out quick. Milwaukee bits for great but seem to wear fairly quick. My fave is the DeWalt Max Fit! (I really wanna try out some high end bits though Wera/Wiha Etc)

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I've stopped buying Bosch now as I also think they just don't hold up long. I have the Shockwave, but haven't been using them as I want to give the XPS a real good go and see how well they hold up. Max Fit were my go to for a long time and I still use them. I keep them in all my screw organizers so if I forget my bits, I will have at least one to get the job done. I've heard some people say once you start using the high end like your talking about, you will never use the cheaper ones again. If you ever get them, let me know what you think.

@wippip 3 года назад

Bought a milwaukee set not too long ago. Bits are fine (light use, only a hobbyist) but the case is awful. Its downright tedious getting the bits in and out. Also I much prefer the longer bits with the torsion part. Way easier in use than the shorter bits with the extension.

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I really like my Milwaukee shockwave set that I have. I like how the bits themselves are a bit magnetic. I use the 2 inch bits the most as well. I'm trying to get into using the 1 inch since you get so many of them compared to the 2 inch. I got rid of that Milwaukee case a long time ago for that reason. It's the worse case I've seen.

I have done my own test and found that, especially in the case of the #2 phillips, the Wiha Terminator Blue performed better for me. The Wiha fit and drove screws better, and took less damage to the tip. That was without a magnetic screw holder.

@tgltoday2717 11 месяцев назад

I've heard that the Wiha bits are very nice. My understanding is they are a step up from the Makita/Milwaukee/ DeWalt. Basically the big box store brand bits. I could be wrong in that. I've never actually used Wiha bits so thank you for this information. One of these days I'll get myself a few considering I just like to test all different brands to see which ones I like the best lol. Thank you for sharing and watching.

@DiligentDave1966 11 месяцев назад

@@tgltoday2717 I just happened to find some Bosch and Wiha bits on clearance at my local Lowe’s. I wish I had picked up some of the Bosch phillips, but I didn’t because I prefer T25. Anyway, I’m not trying to promote my channel on your channel, but I did post videos of the tests. The Wiha outperformed every other brand I had in the Phillips, especially with a small pilot hole. My Milwaukee Shockwave phillips couldn’t even drive two screws in a row without a pilot hole, and those were the older black ones.

@tgltoday2717 11 месяцев назад

@@DiligentDave1966 I've never used the older black Shockwaves but I have plenty of the newer gray ones lol I'm not a massive fan of the Bosh bits. In my experience the t25 wear out pretty quick and the Philips isn't far off. However, I was using some SQ2 screws on a charging station I was building and the Shockwaves, Dewalt and these Makita bits kept slipping out and wouldn't hold as I had to put a lot of pressure with very slow speed. I grabbed the Bosch out of the kit and it stuck like glue. I was very impressed that bit. So that is why I like to keep some of all around.

@DiligentDave1966 11 месяцев назад

I think that is a good choice. I've never used the XP bits, but i've seen a lot of mixed reviews on them. I'd rather the Dewalts, or Milwaukee's over the XP's. I hope you enjoy your new XPS set.

Wow that's crazy. I wonder why they would stop including it. I wonder if it comes with one of the other sets they have.

If you're a contractor get 10, 25, or even 50 pack of the most used bit types and save.

@tgltoday2717 2 месяца назад

Although I'm not a contractor, that is what I've started to do after buying one of these kits like this one that has basically one of everything in it. I now just buy the bulk stacks of what I actually need cuz otherwise you're just wasting money in my opinion.

Hi, which one is better, Makita Impact X or Makita XPS?

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I personally have never used impact x but from others I've heard who have used them both, XPS. I've only heard one person tell me they like the impact x more.

@damaylaphoenix1155 Год назад

the 1 inch magnetic holder is only design for the small bits, the longer bits will get stuck!

@tgltoday2717 Год назад

Correct. The 2 inch bits are not supposed to be used in the magnetic bit holder. You can use the special magnetic piece on the 2in to help magnetize your screw if not using the 1in.

@APBRAeruDOD 2 года назад

I thought the magnetizer was a special drywall bit possibly, thankfully this explained that!

@tgltoday2717 2 года назад

Your welcome. I'm glad I could help. I had no idea what the magnetizer was when I first saw one in a Dewalt kit years ago. It's crazy what tools they come out with these days.

I was looking on Amazon for it, using the link provided, only to find that in the set there is not included that magnet ring. At least from the pictures of the set. Could you help please?

@tgltoday2717 3 месяца назад

I just checked it out and it looks like they updated the kit from what I bought. This link shows the updated kit. Same link as what I bought just an updated set. Doesn't appear to have exactly what mine does. I did notice they changed the case as well to have a clear lid which looks pretty nice imo.

@MrNikalay 3 месяца назад

Thx for getting back to me. The case is nice indeed, although it didn't bothered me the "all blue Makita". As you said in your demo that magnetic ring it is a good plus to have with you. One thing I noticed, sadly, there are no PZ bits at all. They put a lot of PH2 and I really wanted to have at least one PZ2 and PZ3. I love they have a whole range of Torque bits. You don't always find T27 in a set.

@tgltoday2717 2 месяца назад

You're welcome!. I was real surprised when I went to the link and it wasn't the same exact set. I was surprised by the T27 as well. I know what you mean about the pz bits. It sure does stink. Sometimes you buy sets like this and they have a bunch of bits you'll never use and then sometimes there's just a couple you want and you'd rather trade 3/4 of it. Happens to me a lot lol. Thanks for watching. I hope you like the new bit set if you get it.

@tgltoday2717 3 года назад

I agree. I really only use two bits and after you have one of the rest for just in case situations, it gets annoying as they advertise huge bit counts but the average person will only use 1/4 of what's in there.
