I'm considering this tool or the same Makita tool with the 1/4" impact socket head. I presume this tool is more versatile since you can buy an adapter

I would agree. I do not imagine there is any difference internally, but you cannot so easily use a quick-change tip on a 1/4" male square drive. A standard 2" long tip can be set in the chuck at 2 different depths. The deeper setting will place the end of the tip barely sticking out the end of the chuck, which gives you even more of a compact reach that you would have thought possible.

yes you can and is this tool powerful. Works great and can fit into any tight places to work

Depends on what u plan on using it for mainly? If u get an adapter for it u lose clearance room, I bought a bunch of magnetic 1/4 nut drivers in metric to use in the rear deck lid of cars

The decision to buy this tool should be based on the need to get into tight quarters. It has less torque than the standard impact driver that cannot get into tight quarters. If that is the case, the adapter to use sockets may add too much length for tight spaces. I have had great success with this tool. It drove 2" screws into the floor joists right next to the house when redoing my deck. It has been similarly successful with other jobs. The standard driver has no trouble burying 3" #10 screws which is beyond the capability of this tool. That is why I have both. Since they use the same batteries and charger, ths cost is resonable.

the impact driver definitely creates more power for almost everything. I would only get the standard drill if I was doing light detailed work only

I have the tool with the 1/4 impact socket head. If you need to "drill" in very tight spaces, the impact head version may be too large to fit as either an adapter or special drill bits (with 1/4 socket adaption) are required. As others have said, base the decision on what YOUR primary use will be. That said, I may get this version, also. I like the various Makita tools and have several 1.5 and 3.0 batteries.

Not sure what you are asking, I run impact adapters and sockets with this tool. For a small tool the thing really delivers quite a punch. I find it very versatile when running screws in odd locations where I cannot use the standard impact gun. There are tons of adapters available for this thing. Do keep one thing in mind it has a small shaft, so when I am on a tough thing to loosen I try to use a socket initially to break the hold on the bolt.

Because the Makita trimmer is light duty I'd be reluctant to use another head. I recently bought it and light duty is all I use it for.

I looked up the equipment you chose, I don't see any reason that it wouldn't be compatable. I used the dewalt variant with great success, would recommend using the tool with the dust collector, safety glasses and a respirator

Greetings Arturo, I personally purchased the Porter-Cable driver because of it's compact feature and strength. I purchased drill bits and adapters so I can use it with 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" sockets. I do a lot of my own automotive repairs and this tool has been great. Hope this helps!

I cannot say for sure. It is difficult to obtain precise specs. The center hole would need to be exactly the same diameter. On the Makita, it seems that the blade is just held by the pressure of the locking mechanism. No notch or anything like that.

Sorry, Ido not know the answer to this. I would suggest the person contact Makita directly through their web site.

Yes. You shouldn't use it for sockets. It's designed as a screw driver not an impact wrench.

I would go with the Neiko chuck adapter. Neiko® 20754A 3/8-Inch Chuck Converter for Impact Drivers with Quick Change Shank | Includes 1/2-Inch Adapter

I don't know. However you might call Makita or Bosch customer support to see if the hammer receptaclesare the same.

You can always use a step down adapter on the 1/2", but most sockets down to 1/4" and up to 7/8" will come in a 3/8" square drive size. The real problem is the 1/2" doesn't really have the torque to justify the 1/2" drive, as a regular 1/2" air impact will easily provide more torque than the 20v electric. That being said, the 3/8" is better for average home use.

This drill is an Drill/Hammer Drill combo. It is not an Impact Driver. The operating principles are different. You can use this to remove lug nuts etc... but don't expect it to work well.

Salazar That would be asking a bit to much for a battery operated impact driver of this size. Your choices would be 1/2" driver either air powered or a corded 1/2" driver. Large air tools require a larger compressor. I have all three types in this case I would go with a name brand with a cord.

My husband has all Makita power tools & he ordered these...so I would imagine that, yes, it would probably be compatible with any Makita's...I don't think he would've ordered them if they wouldn't work, he wouldn't put the money out!!

I use this set with the DEWALT DCF815S2 12-Volt Max 1/4-Inch Impact Driver Kit. This driver kit is really for small impact tools/drivers that accept 1/4" male hex type attachments. I've put the bits to the test and they've held up well. Not sure if I would recommend the set for a beefy impact wrench though. The DW059 I saw on Amazon looks like a 1/2" drive regular impact wrench and this set works on drivers with the internal hex design.

This is a impact driver kit. The bits have a hex shank on them. You may be able to buy a 3/8 to hex attachment for your impact gun but I don't know.

This tool would probably destroy any 1/4 in bit. That being said if you got an adapter it would work.

I used it for both and all you need is to be careful, to the extent that dropping the tool will make more damage then actually using it. I had bostich freeman dewalt is the way to go. I can guarantee you'll be pleased with the tool, I was ! Best of luck
