I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com and I want to demonstrate for you the Makita 9-piece
0:10
3-8-inch drive, 6-point impact socket set. And, boy, that's a mouthful, isn't it? What is it
0:18
really? These are just little sockets that will fit onto your impact driver, but it has a kind
0:27
of a really neat feature that I think you're really gonna like. Let's look at it. So this
0:31
socket set has sockets that range in size from 5 16ths of an inch all the way up to 3
0:38
quarters of an inch. It's got a 1 quarter inch hex shank adapter as well. Here's the best part
0:45
The quarter inch hex shank adapter has got a little detent ball on it and if you align that
0:53
with a little hole inside each socket, guess what? The socket can rotate about 15 degrees
1:00
so that you can work in tight areas. It's really a handy feature. Let me show you how these sockets
1:07
work, and unfortunately, I don't have a Makita impact driver to use, so I did the next best thing
1:15
I looked at the impact drivers that I have and the one that matches the closest is one from Milwaukee and um the makita people they just didn send me an impact driver I don know what to tell you But you know when you look at the two names Makita
1:30
and Milwaukee, there are four letters in the Milwaukee name that match up with Makita, or vice versa
1:37
So, that's what we're going to use. Look at this. Alright, so that's a pretty handy tool, wouldn't you say
1:51
I mean, look at that little guy. I mean, you can see how that moves and works really good on an impact driver
1:58
And of course, you know, once again, you just have to rotate this
2:02
If you want this to be solid and not really move, it's just a matter of pulling it off the adapter and putting it back on
2:09
so that the little ball and the hole don't line up. It's really, really, it's kind of a neat set of little tools
2:14
that you should probably have in your toolbox. I'm Tim Carter for AskTheBuilder.com
