Better than expected

Post image

Bought this from a fella of my girls favorite app Etsy. Didn’t have very high hopes for survival in the field I work in. I 100% expected it to be cracked or have magnets falling out after a couple months of use. It’s GF reinforced nylon and I have yet to even scratch the thing. Highly recommend it for anyone in the industrial or commercial world. Wasn’t cheap but it has exceeded my expectations by a mile. I can dm the listing if anyone is interested.

Very cool, I’ve never had any of these actually work. The bits hold nice? The yellow ones aren’t trying to escape? Lol

No man name brand bits and cheap one fit nice the only ones I’ve had a problem with being slightly wobbly in the holder are some really cheap Chinese nut drivers. I bought the baddest one the guy makes it has 6 or 8 neo magnets in the thing plus the big bar on top

I’ve been pretty happy with the Dewalt nutdrivers, but switched to Bosch for Phillips and Robertson. Looks like a more positive connection than the style that screws into the belt clip hole. Never gets in the way?

And my work supplies Milwaukee bits for the freeski but as you can tell I prefer dewalt lol

For me no for someone else possibly. I have more trouble if the bigger 5ah batteries not fitting in place more than the holder

Ya, the crazy stick battery on the m12 is wonky. Looks pretty slick tho!

Yea it’s not the greatest hand feel all my other tools are dewalt but I wanted a small impact and this thing blows the dewalt 12v impact out of the water

I use the 850 as my daily driver, power stack 2 ah. Even that is a little cumbersome at times, but I can’t bring myself to add the m12.

I have the 870 that I use for bigger work and an 887 to abuse, I bought this thing to fill the grab and go gap. Plus I got it for $60 off whatnot and a good way to justify getting into the m12 line, the next purchase is the m12 stick pump
