The bits are made with forging instead of milled processes. For users, this means their fit is superior. This reduces possible damages to the bolts and screws and it also increases the durability of the bits. Irwin Tools based this manufacturing technology on cold forged steel. This is why the bits resist high torque. Of course, this means they can be mounted on any impact driver be it from Dewalt, Makita or Bosch.

6. Makita T-01725 70 Piece Bit Set

Design features
Designed for ¼” drivers, the set also includes drills from ¼” to 1/16”. The compact set is easy to transport. Most importantly, it offers quality bits for impact drivers. All bits and drills come with a distinct black oxide coating. This type of coating is not exclusive to Makita, but it has proven results with corrosion resistance. The heat treatment applied to the piece is unique to the manufacturer and it can take the bits even further in terms of durability.

The shank design also fits the impact drivers. Using Ultra-Lok 1/4in hex shanks, the bits are ready for torque action. This is why the set includes the most popular screwdriver and nut-driver sizes. Driving, drilling, and fastening are easier as a result.

Of course, all of these positives would not mean much without actual practicality. Their design is what makes them among the long-life bits. Their sharp profile also means they are basically used on all types of materials. Even Makita recommends the bits to be used directly on metal, plastic and some types of wood. The S2 modified steel profile of the bits is what comes with the durability and sharpness recommended for all of these materials.

Convenient features
The set includes 3 magnetic nut drivers and different assorted steel 2” and 3.5” driver bits. However, the set’s versatility is also its main weakness. While it works fine for occasional use, it might lack the options needed for professional work. An example of this comes with the bits which are all Phillips-based. Multiple users have already shown their support for added long flathead bits with future releases.

Another possible problem comes with the casing. Simply put, its materials lack flexibility. This is needed to easily remove each bit without actually breaking off various sections of the case. However, the immediate problem with the bits is that some of them might not be as up to Makita’s standard as many users expect. The coating can come off easily from some of the bits. Of course, this is mainly a problem with painted walls and panels and some users might overlook the issue. However, the set could be improved even without adding new bits by simply adjusting the powder coating finish and by changing the plastics of the case.

Verdict
With a versatile profile, the set is recognized for its contractor-grade durability.
