Product Description
Makita impact GOLD is new innovation in fastening with a full line of insert bits, bit holders, nutsetters, socket adapters, and more. Impact gold is designed exclusively for use with high-torque impact drivers, and is engineered with high-strength steel for longer life. The impact GOLD ultra-magnetic insert bit holder (B-35097) features Xtreme torsion technology, which allows the torsion section of the bit holder to flex under load and take pressure off of the bit tip for increased durability in high torque applications. The two-piece design is engineered to allow the torsion technology to fully activate. The rare earth neodymium magnet is two-times stronger than magnets in standard insert bit holders, so users get the added convenience of one-handed fastening. The Makita impact GOLD ultra-magnetic insert bit holder is ideal for use with impact GOLD insert bits (sold separately), and is engineered for driving screws in a wide variety of demanding applications including deck building, framing, installing plywood subfloor, and more.

To use the holder, it is first inserted into the hex collet (or chuck) on the driver tool. The blue sleeve is then removed from the bit holder, to allow insertion of the appropriate driver bit. It does take a little force to pull off the blue sleeve, but that just tells me that it's not at risk of falling off while in use.
This bit holder works with the short style (1" long) bits, as longer bits would position the screw head too far away from the magnetic collar. There is a small retaining ring inside this bit holder that provides a very strong grip on the bit that is inserted. In fact, it took quite a bit of force for me to remove the 1" long bit when I needed to briefly change sizes.
This holder does a good job of keeping the screw from falling off, but it is best suited for driving screws into pre-drilled pilot holes. I did begin by using it to drive screws without pilot holes, but it does not hold the screw securely enough to do that easily. I found it better to take a few minutes to drill "starter" pilot holes, about 1/2" deep.
Also, it's is easy to accidentally overdrive screws in soft wood, as the magnetic collar covers the screw head as it seats into the wood. Of course that's not as critical on a fishing dock as it can be on some applications. Several times I found myself popping off the blue sleeve so that I could see the screw head and fine-tune the driven depth. A drill driver with an adjustable clutch might do a better job of controlling driven depth, as long as the hardness of the target material is fairly consistent.
This bit holder may not be right for every application, but I find it to be a time saver and a great value at this price.
First of all, the magnet on this thing is no joke. It's so strong that I accidentally stuck it to my refrigerator and it took me a good five minutes to pry it off. But once I put it to use on my drill, I realized that the magnet is actually incredibly useful. It holds onto the screws so tightly that I didn't have to worry about dropping them or losing them in my carpet. And trust me, I've lost my fair share of screws in that shaggy mess.
The torsion technology is also pretty impressive. It allows the bit to flex and absorb impact, which means less wear and tear on both the bit and the screw. And let me tell you, I've put this thing through the wringer. I've used it on everything from delicate woodwork to heavy-duty metal fabrication, and it hasn't let me down yet.
But let's get to the real selling point of this bit holder: the "ultra-magnetic" feature. I don't know what kind of magnet they're using, but it's like a superpower. I was working on a project outside and accidentally dropped a screw. I heard it hit the pavement and figured it was a goner. But then I remembered I had the Makita bit holder on my drill, so I waved it over the ground and voila! The magnet picked up the screw like a charm. It was like a magic trick.
Now, I have to admit that the price of this bit holder is a bit steep. But in my opinion, it's worth it. I mean, how often do you find a tool that's both practical and fun? I'd give this thing 3 out of 5 stars - it's not perfect, but it's pretty darn close.
Here's a comparison between the Makita B-35097 Impact Gold Ultra-Magnetic Torsion Insert Bit Holder and the DEWALT DW2054 Magnetic Drive Guide:
1. Makita B-35097 Impact Gold Ultra-Magnetic Torsion Insert Bit Holder:
* Made from high-quality steel for durability
* Ultra-magnetic technology provides superior bit retention
* Torsion technology allows for better bit flexibility and reduces breakage
* Quick-change design for easy bit installation and removal
* Fits most impact drivers and drill drivers
DEWALT DW2054 Magnetic Drive Guide:
* Made from high-quality materials for durability
* Magnetized for superior bit retention
* Self-retracting sleeve helps guide screws for accuracy
* Quick-change design for easy bit installation and removal
* Fits most impact drivers and drill drivers
2. Both the Makita B-35097 and the DEWALT DW2054 are high-quality bit holders that are designed to work with most impact drivers and drill drivers. They both feature a quick-change design for easy bit installation and removal, and they are made from durable materials to ensure long-lasting performance.
3. One key difference between the two is the magnet technology used. The Makita B-35097 uses ultra-magnetic technology to provide superior bit retention, while the DEWALT DW2054 uses a magnetized design. Additionally, the Makita B-35097 features torsion technology, which allows for better bit flexibility and reduces breakage.
4. Overall, both of these bit holders are excellent options and will provide reliable performance. The choice between the two may come down to personal preference and the specific needs of the user.

Questo verde con il gambo dorato dovrebbe avere un super magnete, ma non è reale. È più potente il magnete della versione base.
Inoltre l’ho ricevuto in una banale bustina di plastica.
Mi aspettavo la confezione originale come da foto descrizione, visto il prezzo prezzo!
Io mi domando quand’è che Amazon inizierà davvero a fare un controllo sui prodotti venduti e sui venditori affiliati per non essere costantemente truffati con prodotti di pessima qualità a prezzi da prima scelta!
