Makita 784832-A Quad-Driver Pre-Drill, Drive and Countersink Set, 13-Piece Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this driver set since about 1997.I'm on my third set, which I just got a few weeks ago.When my second set wore out, I tried every other brand I could find, and finally went back to this one, even though it's not easy to find in stores and has several drawbacks.

The best:drill and screw with one bit, narrowest lock band for close drilling, positive locking, allen wrench in back end (might be the best feature).

The worst: the main shaft is a bit undersized and can get out of true if dropped more easily than others, allen screws wear out, hard to find new kits.

In practice, I have different bits (square, flat, phillips #'s 1,2 and 3) already installed in different holders with the most likely drill size (mostly #'s 6 and 8).That way, I never have to switch the driver tip on the job unless I break one, or it wears out (it happens, and it's a normal wear item, won't last forever), I just grab a different holder and it's ready to go.

If you're serious about drilling and driving, you need both in one holder.Other brands wear out quicker (I test them working 8 hour days, 5 days a week in a Milwaukee 18v lithium drill:I use it for kitchen and bath remodels and concrete counter mold making; I'm using this kit as much as anyone could, and using it HARD).

The allen screws that hold the bits do wear out, prepare for it.When one breaks, I steal one from an underused size holder and pick up a new one next time I go to the hardware store.

I've tried them all, nothing compares in functionality, and the others require even more careful maintenance to keep them working.
