Technote: The Engineering Behind Makita Impact XPS

Impact XPS™, a premier line of bits and fastening accessories, is engineered for maximum performance. As the latest innovation in fastening, the Impact XPS™ Bits are designed to handle the high torque demands of professional users in all trades and last up to 90 times longer than standard bits

ImpactXPS Bits are expertly engineered to withstand the hardest hitting impact drivers, drills and screwdrivers. Three unique features help eliminate common pain points of bits:
• Exact Fitment - Precision-machined bit tips fit screws with minimal variance, thereby minimizing wear on the bit and screw. This helps prevent screw head from stripping
• Pulse Torsion Rings and Zone - Pulse torsion rings disperse impact energy through the torsion zone and off the bit tip. The torsion zone has been optimized to flex under load to transfer impact energy for improved bit life. The length combined with diameter is the special formula to create an optimized torsion zone. Together, the pulse torsion rings and torsion zone
