As of March 16th, Makita is launching a new line of Impact rated bits and drivers called the XPS line. We were lucky enough to get an early review of these in the Lazy Guy DIY shop and put them to a few quick tests.
The XPS lines are boasting 90x longer lasting life than standard bits with new technology in torsion rings and a torsion zone to stand up longer to strain.

Everyone reviewing these says 90% longer, but the package say 90X, which would by 90 times longer- a huge difference.

@FIN4L_BOSS 4 года назад

Great review! Keep releasing reviews like this one and your channel will be right up there with all the top channels. Your production quality is better than most. Would like to see some metabo hpt brand reviews ✌️

@zachpel1923 4 года назад

I used to use the Dewalt max fit bits and I think these XPS bits are the best. I do also have a xdt131 and xfd131.

@JJ-lu6mg 4 года назад

These are going to be my new go to bits, but I might have to put them in my Milwaukee bit cases lol

@hardlyb 4 года назад

The ads I've seen say 90x longer, which I find hard to believe in my case, unless they have some magic feature that keeps them from getting lost. :)

@kennethfrancis782 4 года назад

Hate to be another to add that I've broken a bit...but first bit i was using too...the T20 torx bit. I was driving maybe the 3rd 2 and a half inch screw into just a 2x4.

@MrRubenrivera9649 3 года назад

good bits great hold

@bricebrice6496 2 года назад

Best bits you can buy solid and durable a lot better than the standard bit in a big holder

@theone1347 4 года назад

You did not sound amazed. This is just remarkable. Which other bit do you know that can do this and this well? I am super excited to use them.

@jackpasawahan1105 4 года назад

Mantap. Sayang saya cari di toko online belum ada.

@EireFirst2024 2 года назад

I never rated them gold bits, these new 1's I certainly DO. 👍

@judsonmeraw6294 4 года назад

They make Phillips feasible again. Looks more gear techno.

@particleconfig.8935 6 месяцев назад

can't see ''the rounded edges'' because the cam doesn't accomodate that short distance nor the rapid movements towards and from it :/ (but good to know about these edge cases ;)

@pantax 4 года назад

You need to use the magnet ring that fits ALL the bits! it'zmazing!

@rickfennell7849 4 года назад

What ring?? Got a link?? Shit...i thought these WERE magnetic. I just ordered the 60 piece set yesterday...lol

@pantax 4 года назад

Ric Fennell look at this, around 5 min he talks about the magnet! It is awesome! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-azKpA5nflGU.html

@nealscrib1017 4 года назад

I thought the Impact X replaced the Impact Gold. And now the XPS bit replaces the X. I think the X fits a PH2 head better than the Gold and last longer (4x ?). The XPS promises to be even better. Thanks for the review.

@LazyGuyDIY 4 года назад

Yeah that's odd because I think the X was just out for about a year now. I don't believe it's just a re-brand like I've seen other companies do after a soft launch.

@MichaelShor 3 года назад

As far as I can see, the Impact X is their industrial line. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison on the XPS versus the X versions. The XPS versions of the bits appear fancier into have a better surface coating, but I'm curious what the differences are actually like. The product lines down overlap completely in terms of what bits they actually offer in them.

@particleconfig.8935 6 месяцев назад

Makita states on its website that the Impact Premier tops the Gold... why o why are they this messed up on taxonomy (as all the other brands), as if it doesn't matter and MOSTLY as if they're non-technical folks? :p Just add a few system-thinker design engineers or whatever, the'll figure out the hierarchy and structure.

@D.A.P_100 4 месяца назад

Impact X replaced Impact Black series not Impact Gold.

@particleconfig.8935 4 месяца назад

@@D.A.P_100 yeah so they don't have their taxonomy in order

@thetruth5210 3 года назад

You should treat yourself, and get some Wera screwdrivers and bit sets. KC Tool is your friend! I love when someone asks me about my screwdrivers with their weird handle and I show them that all my screwdrivers can support their own weight in a random door hinge as well as the weight of a drill or an impact for the bits. Makita may have been the “gold standard” in the orange box store, but that’s a very small sandbox to be playing in.😉

@LazyGuyDIY 3 года назад

Good to know. I'll give them a look!

@MichaelShor 3 года назад

I mean, meh, I love a lot of Wera products but they're Phillips bits? Their edges seem pretty rounded, and overall I think they can out a lot. I don't know about their impact versions, but I can't say much for their standard Phillips insert bits. Their torx bits are fine, and their hex plus bits may be the best in the industry, if Mac RBRT hasn't beat them. Also, Makita offers some things in this product line that where it doesn't, like long impact bits. Do you actually like Wera Phillip bits?

@Da9guy1993 4 года назад

I love makita! Everything i own is makita, however i bought these bits after watching a review and broke one within 5 Philips screws. Ymmv

@LazyGuyDIY 4 года назад

Wow, I'm surprised. Obviously they aren't unbreakable, I wonder how long other brands would have held up to the same application or if it was just a fluke? Bosch came out with a series a few years ago and I broke every single philips bit within minutes. Turned out it was a bad batch of material that they replaced for me.

@Da9guy1993 4 года назад

@@LazyGuyDIY previously i had been using the old Makita gold bits, they lasted thousands and thousands of screws before wearing out, never had one break before. I think the new bits are super hard possibly making them brittle. Could also be a fluke. I will know soon.

@tomchase2954 4 года назад

What is the black Makita impact driver?

@LazyGuyDIY 4 года назад

It's the Makita sub-compact 18v impact: amzn.to/3940ahq

@evictioncarpentry2628 4 года назад

Put it up against the Milwaukee shockwave bits. I find they fit and last the best/longest

@LazyGuyDIY 4 года назад

I'm a big supporter of the Shockwave series but I've seen quite a bit a cam out and chipping after tougher projects, so i'll be interested to see how these hold up long term.

@evictioncarpentry2628 4 года назад

It mostly depends on the operator and what your fastening Imo. Some people really suck with an impact, where you could weld their bit to the screw and they'd still be slipping. Ive been using the DTD171 for almost a year and a half and honestly, on speed 4, if you're not 100% straight on, any bit in existence cams out/slips because it's just so damn fast until it starts to impact. I sometimes have to crank it down to speed 3 if I need to screw on angles and what not to prevent slippage. But anyways, in my own everyday work Milwaukee bits for me. I would definitely try these XPS bit in 3 and 6 inch, though.

@LazyGuyDIY 4 года назад

@@evictioncarpentry2628 totally agree with you and man do people love to use impacts when they should be using a standard driver. I haven't gotten my hands on a 17, but the XDT16 is a monster. Seems like with these XPS bits there will be a lot of head shearing on cheap fasteners. I know I had that issue with shockwaves as well. Then the yellow brand... I've snapped those bits in half in only a few minutes of use.
