Details from Makita
Makita Industrial Power Tools, the innovation leader, is teaming up with the world’s largest home improvement retailer. Impact GOLD™ is the latest in a long line of industry leading technology Makita brings to over 2,000 The Home Depot stores.
- Makita Impact GOLD™
- Impact GOLD™ is designed for use with high-torque impact drivers, with high-quality steal engineered for longer life, and a precision-fit tip engineered to prevent “cam-out” and stripping.
- The Impact GOLD™ Ultra-Magnetic Insert Bit Holder and bits feature Xtreme Torsion Technology, which allows the torsion section of the bit and 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 of the Ultra-Magnetic Insert Bit Holder 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 onehanded fastening.
- The 3/8 in. square drive socket adapter tilts up to 15 degrees for work in tight spaces, or can be used in the straight position. Also available in 1/2 in. square drive.
- The exclusive snap-ring on Impact GOLD™ Grip-It Nutsetters is non-magnetic and provides the holding power of standard magnetic nutsetters without the drawback of metal debris build-up.
I’m not sure if I am posting my comments in the correct avenue…but I want to tell you that your web site is going to be my 5 ***** resource for all things “Home Repair.” Always one to learn from my father, my skills have been called upon over the years since my husband was NOT adept at home repair, but quick to assist when needed. At 62 years old, I am now widowed and saving money on repairs when possible. The Internet has always been my “go to” place when I’m confronted with anything new and was so impressed with your site and how user friendly it is for those of my skill level. I just bought a new fridge, the first with water and ice…did well with connecting the water source…but was totally stumped by the coil of OD tubing attached to the back wall, below the filter….eventually concluded it must be the water resevoir. (rather chintzy and poorly designed…but wanted to make sure so I could trouble shoot in the future.) A web search took me to your site and the great video showing how to replace the resevoir…confirming my initial hunch. Tho’ my Frigidaire part is different, the purpose is the same. THANK YOU for the info and lesson. I’m certain I will be back many times in the future…and won’t forget to show my gratitude with a donation in the future…hoping it helps keep such a great site available.
