Surprisingly useful Amazon Tool Purchases

[Not_A_Llama]

Got these last year and am continually surprised how much I use them:
Ratcheting offset screwdriver
Drill chuck adapter for impact driver

The chuck adapter is pretty nifty - I hardly ever use my drill anymore, considering how useful and powerful the impact driver is, overall.

The offset screw drivers are a must for any tool box. I have never seen the driver adapter, I just ordered one thank you for the heads up.

Personal preference, but your drill bits hate you and your impact chuck adapter... The cutting edge of your drill bits do not want rotational impact from a cordless impact.

I do like the offset screw drivers though. I have several of them.

Offset / angled needle nose pliers. Don't forget a seldom used, but always looking for when you can't find it. The metric screw drivers and adjustable wrenches.

Honestly, the impact feature doesn’t really engage. When it has... I feel weird saying this, but my dulling and breakage rates seem about the same. I am mostly a Harbor Freight and eBay drill index buyer, though, and backfill broken bits with quality.

Not sure what Amazon has to offer but probably my favorite and most useful tool is my composite IR 3/8 impact. I use that sucker for everything.

They offer it much cheaper than the tool trucks
also gp impact sockets are amazing if anyone is looking.


Grant the Bosch daredevil spade bits love being run on an impact and are much less likely to catch on a knot in a floor joist and smack you in the face like running them in a high torque drill.

I've got like three drills plus an impact, so it's easy to set a bit and switch between tools. I really feel like the last thing I need is for my drill to be any longer.

I agree, the bitty ratcheting offset screwdriver is an awesome spare to have when I don't want to drag around my cases or I'm not in my shop.

I've been meaning to pick up another to keep in the tool kit for the new truck, thanks for the reminder.

The Neiko stuff I've got has held up very well.

Had to buy these for working on the X5...

Only place I could find a complete set for a reasonable price.

Also have Harbor Freight nearby and they have a lot of stuff. Nothing there is a lifetime buy but it can get you through a project.
