Makita E-01666 Impact XPS™ 35 Pc. Impact Bit Set

First of all, let's talk about the variety. This kit comes with a whopping 60 pieces, which is fantastic because it covers pretty much all the different types of screws and bits I encounter in my projects. Whether it's Phillips, Torx, square, or even hex, this set has got me covered. And the best part is that each piece feels really sturdy and well-made. I've had some bad experiences with cheap, flimsy bits that would snap after just a few uses, but these Makita bits seem like they can take a beating. The impact-resistant design is a total winner. I've used these bits with my impact driver, and they've held up really well. No chipping, no signs of wear and tear even after some heavy-duty use. It's clear that Makita put some serious thought into making these bits durable, and it shows. Another thing I love is the bit holder included in the set. It's got a strong magnetic grip, which is super handy when I'm trying to reach into tight spots or overhead. Plus, it keeps the bits neatly organized, so I don't have to go rummaging through my toolbox every time I need a specific size. I also want to mention the precision fit of the bits. When I attach them to my screws, they fit snugly without any wobbling. This means fewer stripped screws and less frustration for me. Plus, the tips seem to have excellent grip, which really helps when I'm working with tougher materials like metal or hardwood. One small downside I noticed is that the case could be a bit sturdier. Don't get me wrong; it's functional and keeps the bits in place, but I feel like it might not withstand rough handling or accidental drops. So, I'll probably be a bit more cautious with that. Overall, I can confidently say that the Makita E-01644 Impact XPS 60 Piece Impact Bit Set has been a fantastic addition to my toolkit. As an average IQ person, I appreciate tools that are reliable, easy to use, and that make my projects go smoothly. This set ticks all the right boxes, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch bit set. Happy DIYing!

I’ve spent years balancing two very different worlds: the delicate precision required for high-end PC hardware upgrades and the raw power needed for heavy home projects. If you’ve ever felt that sinking pit in your stomach after stripping a screw on a motherboard or snapping a cheap bit inside a pressure-treated 4x4, you know why I’m so impressed with this Makita Impact XPS. The first thing I noticed was the "seat." The machined tips on these bits are incredibly tight—there’s almost zero "play" when you drop them into a screw head. When I’m working on expensive equipment where one slip (cam-out) can ruin a whole component, that kind of precision is a massive confidence booster. On the flip side, I put these through the ringer driving 3-inch lag screws into lumber. You can actually see the Pulse Torsion Rings doing the heavy lifting; the bit flexes just enough under high torque to keep from snapping, which is where my standard S2 steel sets usually fail. Even after a few weeks of use, the matte nickel coating still looks brand new, showing zero signs of the surface rust that usually plagues my older black phosphate bits. Even the case feels like it was designed by someone who actually uses tools. The clear lid makes it easy to check my inventory at a glance, and the bit bars tilt out smoothly so I’m not wrestling with the plastic every time I need a different size. It’s a professional-grade kit that actually lives up to the 100x durability claim.

Ease of Use & Functionality These bits are super easy to swap in and out of my drill, and they lock in securely without slipping. The magnetic tip helps keep screws in place, making it much easier to work with one hand when needed. Plus, they fit perfectly in my impact driver and regular drill without any issues. ✔ Magnetic tips hold screws well. ✔ Smooth insertion & removal – no wobbling! ✔ Compatible with multiple drill brands. Weight & Size This set comes in a compact and lightweight case, making it easy to carry around. Despite having 60 pieces, the case doesn’t take up much space, which is great for storing it in my toolbox or work bag. ✔ Lightweight and portable case. ✔ Doesn’t take up much space. ✔ Perfect for on-the-go work or storing neatly. Variety – Tons of Options for Any Job I love that this kit covers everything—Phillips, Torx, Square, and Flathead bits are all included, so I never have to hunt down the right size. The variety is great for woodworking, assembling furniture, and general repairs. ✔ Wide range of bit sizes & types. ✔ Perfect for different projects – no extra bits needed! ✔ Ideal for both home and professional use. Final Thoughts – A Must-Have for Any Toolbox! This Makita 60-piece bit set is a fantastic investment for anyone who needs durable, high-quality bits. They hold up well under heavy use, fit perfectly, and come in a convenient case. If you want a reliable, versatile bit set that won’t strip or wear out quickly, this is the one to get!

This is the best bit set. This set from Makita is a step above the rest. It's also a great deal at only twenty five bucks. I love that this bit set has clear legible labels on the case next to each bit. That's such a huge step up from having to pull bits out one by one and squint to read what numbers are stamped on the steel. I also love that the case is well made. Unlike most other brands, the bit racks in this one actually pivot correctly, hold the bits cleanly and still allow you to remove them without a pair of plyers. Finally, I love that this set was well thought out. It has a good variety of the all the bits you'll need without a bunch of stuff that you'll never use. It has multiples of the most commonly used bits but also doesn't skip any of the ones you'll use occasionally.

We use this set all the time, probably at least a couple times a month for small projects around the house. The tips have held up great, we haven't had any issues with chipping or breaking. They seem to be pretty solid and well made. The case is heavy duty and well made as well, its nice that all of the sizes we need are stored in one place. My only complaint would be that the tips can be a little snug and hard to pull out when it's time to change them.

Overall it's a nice kit, the case is sturdy and has plenty of options for the most used bits. I dropped the star rating down a notch because using the flat bladed bit on just 2 screws it already has a slight bend, which seems a bit premature considering I had used a single craftsman brand one to install my entire solar system without breakage or bending even though that one wasn't impact rated and I figured I would get an impact rated set with this Makita brand and already get a bend? Doesn't provide much confidence. However it didn't snap so I guess that's something, a bend is better than a catastrophic failure. At least this set isn't very expensive and there are multiple of the same size bits so I can keep going. The variety of bits is nice including long and short bits and extensions and a magnetic head that holds very well.

Well made. Up to the Makita standards and moreover the case itself is not chintzy but rugged and durable. I like the clear front and how the bits are held inside.

I've been through them all, from the supposed top end like Milwaukee, Bosch, and Dewalt, to the stuff that I wouldn't take if they gave it away for free, like Kobalt, Craftsman, and the cheap Chinese stuff. This is by far the most durable and well-fitting set I've ever used. The test for me is the Robertson bits; they're always the first to lose their edges, then they cam out. But these bits have all been held their edges, in over a year of almost daily use. From the Phillips #2 to the hexes, they've all been great. You're probably not going to use every size in this kit (the 60-piece). I use about a dozen of the sizes in this kit, and many of those sizes have multiple bits (counting the inset and power bits, there are 15 Philips 2 bits here, which might be a bit of overkill; I'd gladly swap a few of those out for another Robertson 1, or duplicates of some of the smaller Torx sizes). I get it if you think you're only going to use a couple of the sizes here, and the price might put you off. But I was replacing Milwaukee, Bosch, and Dewalt bits every three to six months, and this set is still going strong after 15 months. I haven't had one broken or rounded bit yet. If one of the bits I commonly use fails tomorrow, most of them have backups in this set (and with the Philips 2, I've got 14 of them!), so I'm still way ahead of the game in terms of cost.
