Makita USA has launched a line of bits and fastening accessories, designed to handle the high-torque demands of professional users in all trades.
The Impact XPS is Makita's premier line of bits and fastening accessories for all trades including cabinet makers, HVAC installers, electricians, among others. The entire Impact XPS line offers 117 products, including insert bits, power bits, insert bit holders, magnetic nutsetters, sockets, and socket adapters
The Impact XPS bits are engineered to last up 90 times longer than standard bits, Makita claims, and are designed exclusively for use with high-torque impact drivers.
Makita's Impact XPS Magnetic Insert Bit Holder is ideal for use with the XPS bits, providing added holding power. The bit holder is engineered to allow the torsion section of the bit holder to flex under load, taking pressure off the bit tip for increased durability in high torque applications.
Also included is the Makita Magnetic Nutsetter, which is designed to drive hex nuts and self-tapping screws in a variety of applications. A hex shank allows for convenient use with high-torque impact drivers and driver-drills. Flat edges at the hex opening provide full contact with flanged hex head screws, while the magnet allows for easy one-handed operation.
Another highlight of the range is the Impact XPS Socket Adaptor, again designed exclusively for use with high-torque impact drivers. Chamfered edges of the square drive end allows for easy installation and a retention ball helps secure the socket. The high quality steel construction provides increased durability and features a matte nickel surface for best in class corrosion resistance.

It's clearly a period of innovation at Makita USA currently, with this launch following the launch of a further 25 products to kick off STAFDA's 2019 convention and trade show in November last year.
