    The same amount of force is being applied to the fastener, but instead of a quick hit, it's spread out over a longer period of time. If you ask me it kind of defeats the purpose of an impact driver, losing some benefit of the impact, although its probably negligible.

    In some cases this might be better. But i think it reduces the torque. maybe similar to a torque stick.

    Some of the force is converted to heat so a bit is lost.

    Yes, this is the intuitive inclination one would have been thinking about the physical behavior of the bit. However, any movement "flex" in the bit would reduce the total amount of kinetic energy or mechanical work from the system. That energy is lost to heat. Overall it's probably minimal, less then 10% reduction if not even less. Would make for a cool test to see how much power you lose!

    Hello, I am a Milwaukee guy through and through, but I found this DeWalt Magnetic driver bit set to be one of the best impact ready sets I have found thus far. Check this one out and here is the full name on how you search for it: dewalt dwa2t40ir 40-piece impact ready screwdriver set. This set makes a lot more sense than the once featured in this video, and it is a lot more versatile as well. I think you’ll find this set to be much more practical and useful. Thank you for the great videos and keep them coming please!

    I have this kit it's so much better then the regular bits , my bits last longer and it helps me not strip screw heads, it is very lenient on the tool, the bit and the fasteners so it's worth the 20$ I spent on it I almost bought the regular non flex zone and I'm so glad I got the flex zone, buy one of each take it out to the field and see which one gives you more headache the proof is in the pudding or in this case lumber etc.

    I've been using the makita gold 5/16" non magnetic for about 3 months now. It uses a spring instead of a magnet.Its It's nice because I dont have to clean out metal shavings and hold good. Also I like the Makita gold #2 bits. Snug fit and I use them primarily in my impact into metal and they last.

    Hey Vince. Picked up a new 35pc DeWalt bit set(DWAM135) this past weekend. Has a new see through lid. Pretty helpful if you have multiple bit sets. They call the new case the "Tough Case+". These cases stack on top of each other an lock in place like the toughsystem tool boxes. Doing this unfortunately eliminates the benefits of having see through lids. The kit includes the sleeve you just got as well as a smaller yellow sleeve. Looks just like your max fit yellow sleeve. This yellow sleeve magnetizes the 2.5 in Flex Torq bits as well as the shorter 2 in max fit bits. Its a little tricky to get the sleeve to go over the longer Flex Torq bits, but it works. Just wanted to let you and the gang know that these longer Flex Torq bits can be magnetized.

    No problem. My receipt has sku:885911503983. Picked them up a the Depot in Las Vegas last weekend. Just came back from my local Depot (So Cal) and the set they have doesn't have the see through lid and it doesn't look like they lock together/stack-able. The bit container inside is round and the one I have is square. Other than that, they contain the same bits. I might have got lucky and got the newest design cases. Keep up the good work!

    Vince I used that same bit holder and it's pretty nice, at first. When you use it over after a week or two on the jobsite the circular magnet on the sleeve holder end breaks and chips very badly, eventually falling out. Once it falls out it's back to the depot to buy another for $10. I would much rather have the magnetic sleeve over this.

  • @DaemnNoctus

    Short version limits the maximum torque at the bit/fastener interface and flattens the curve lbft/time. The flex torque zone or "shaft" between the bit tip and the hex end twists elastically over a certain torque value for example 10,000 lbft. so if you put 11,000 lbft of torque your fastener would get 10,000lbft and the shaft would deflect 1000lbft. now because it is elastic when you stop putting in torque the shaft will untwist putting the force from the shaft twisting into your fastener. I do not know what the shaft is rated at, but your fastener will see the torque applied minus minor heat losses, but it will not see the max torque applied if over the shaft value. it will spread the excess torque out over a time and flatten the top of the curve which will make it less likely to shear or damage the head of the fastener. I would consider it to be effective on most low torque screws, but I wouldn't use it on longer and thicker bolts and screws(3/8 lag) as you with probably plastically deform the shaft.

    The Driven bit has a torsion design built to last, with a new tapered design that absorbs torque peaks to reduce stress at the bit’s tip. This allows it to handle a new generation of higher torque impact drivers. This is what I came across while looking into a 40 pc Bosch branded bit set I had bought at Lowes. At 20 dollars I couldn't pass it up. So far they seem to be very well made and they are well machined . Every bit I have use so far has fit whatever fasteners I was using really well. I have yet to snap a bit so far, I even went as far as seeing how far I could bury a screw. To my surprise I broke the head off screws without any damage to the bit. I am also guilty of not paying attention to my angle sometimes when driving screws and every now and then I'll let it slip in the screw head . Often after a handful of times doing that most bits get pretty trashed. Impressively I have failed to ruin a bit so far do to my negligence 🤣 if you haven't I'd definitely check out the Bosch bit sets. I would recommend the set I have to anyone in a heartbeat.

    The biggest deal with the Flextorq bits is longevity. This bits are meant to last up to 5x longer than others do to the fact they aren't harden the same way. When using Flextorq very little energy is lost, but the business end of the bit, gets de-stressed allowing better maintained contact with the fastener and lessens the chance of hopping, which we all know is why most bits fail. There are pros and cons to everything. If the drill does it's job as advertised then the speed difference isn't felt or noticed. BTW I subbed up to ya today, I like the cut of your jib, "aka I dig the channel and what you're doing." I bet people are asking what's a "jib" now? Being a grey haired Millwright and now working for Lowes teaching about tools I hope I can help out and let your followers know about great specials that are going. If not on specials I'll try to lend my expertise to tools that you and others have questions on. Just not nail guns lol. Nail guns are not in a Millwrights wheel house.

    My magnet works well with the 2 inch black bits.... I think what the kits are doing is providing a holder for both bits ... as many people prefer one or the other... it could be there are different holders for different lengths bits. My mag for 2 inch is metal and chrome color. And shorter. I have the yellow one and a different one for short bits... but can exactly remember all the versatility off the top of my head.

    O flex-torque bits are for when you overdrive a screw and it lets the bit rotate (flex) before breaking the bit. I doubt much use in wood applications, but I could see this in overdriving screws into metal...

    I couldn't figure out their new magetic sleeve at 1st, but when I did, it slides over the longer bit, up to the tip, if you then put a screw on it, you almost can't knock the scew off the bit! I actually don't care for most overpriced Dewalt stuff, but I ran a assembly for Home Depot's building all the grills, patio stuff, sheds, ect. We used all Ryobi, especially because of the magnet on the drills, price point, same battery platform, ect. But if we had the Dewalt bit with the sleeve that locks in at the tip, we would have had a lot less dropped screws. I always use a longer bit holder with a short bit, for the most magnetic strength, but even still if you bump that screw into something it will get knocked off or be hanging on your bit, with this Dewalt 2" locking sleeve, you almost can't knock the screw off, the one downside is to switch bits, you have to get the sleeve on and off the bits, instead of dropping a bit in the tip of a bit holder, so once you learn how to work this thing it's awesome it came with no instructions that I saw except for a picture and once you break it in it becomes easier and easier to do

I dont know if they are too loose or too tight but when I drive a deck screw or wood screw with them I can hardly get them back out of the screw. I can drive a wood screw into a door hinge and just let go of my impact and it will just hang there and wont fall off. I have e to move the impact back and forth a bunch to release it. If I pull a screw out of something with these bits I have to pull out my hammer and smack the screw back and forth to get the screw off. Not just once or twice like three or four times. They are garbage

    We need that “flex zone” Vince. The power of these impacts causes a lot of wear and damage. Not only to the bit itself but to the tool. The most common part of course is the business end where it meets the fastener. “Flex zone” helps that from wearing out too soon. The hex Area of the bit. “Flex zone” helps that from getting all boogered up too soon and slipping out. The tool itself. Which one would you rather use? A solid one that may damage or wear the anvil prematurely or a “flex zone” that may help? Just my speculations on that. I don’t want to get to scientific on it. I just think it’s the way to go with these newer impacts.

I love dewalt boys as they have a great fit, better than milwaukee's and I am a Milwaukee guy, but didn't like their bits as much. Greetings.

    Have you seen the nut driving bit from Dewalt that you can push a button and force the magnet out off the bit and take away the shavings? That is pure genius i guess. I think the bits are allmost perfekt thees days in the top brand anyway but expensive. My problem this days are more the screws that often brake if i go to hard with an impact driver.

    You're not going to lose any Torque from a bit that is flexing unless that bit remains flexed but think of it as a pencil from back in the day when you played pencil break in elementary school and you would been that pencil back and flick it onto another pencil well if you could get your pencil to bend or Flex before letting go of it to pop that other pencil you would get more Force applied to your buddies pencil that you're trying to break rather than if your pencil did not Flex or bend before letting it pop your buddies pencil. So if you get any flexing or bending or twisting action in the torsion Zone of the bit and it snaps back you will most likely get added torque

    I’ll take a stab at the physics problem. :). Torque produced by the hammer and anvil in the driver is applied in a short time period producing certain amount of power. And transferring the same amount of power through the flex bit which extends the amount of time power is applied to the screw head when it flexes, the resulting torque applied will be less compared to a more rigid bit. But hey, i may be off base here.
