Makita Drill & Screwdriver Bit Sets
Makita screwdriver sets keep you driving fixings clean and fast, without chewing heads or snapping bits when you're up a ladder or on repetitive fit-out work.
When you're doing kitchens, studwork, second-fix, or banging in fixings all day, a decent bit set saves time and swearing. Makita screwdriver sets are built for impact drivers and combi drills, with the common PZ, PH, Torx and hex sizes you actually reach for. Go for a proper organised case like a Makita Makpac B-49638 if you want everything to stay put in the van and on site.
What Jobs Are Makita Screwdriver Sets Best At?
- Driving hundreds of screws into timber studs, noggins, and sheet materials where a bit that fits properly stops cam-out and wrecked heads.
- Second-fix joinery like hinges, ironmongery, and carcasses where you need the right PZ and Torx sizes on hand without digging through a mixed tub.
- Fixing tray, trunking, and general M and E hardware where a tidy set means you are not rounding small screws or losing bits behind boards.
- Site snagging and maintenance work where you need a compact, organised set in the bag so you can swap sizes quickly and keep moving.
Choosing the Right Makita Screwdriver Sets
Match the set to the fixings you use every week, not the one odd screw you see once a year.
1. Bit types you will actually use
If you are on site in the UK, you will burn through PZ2 and PH2, plus a spread of Torx for modern ironmongery and fixings, so make sure the set covers those properly rather than padding it with rare sizes.
2. Impact driver use and spares
If you are using an impact all day, pick a set with multiple duplicates of the common bits, because the best set is the one that does not stop the job when a PZ2 finally wears.
3. Case style and site organisation
If your kit lives in the van and gets dragged room to room, a proper organiser like the Makita Makpac B-49638 is worth it because bits stay separated, you can see what is missing, and it stacks with other storage instead of rattling loose.
Makita Screwdriver Sets FAQs
What screwdrivers do professionals use?
On site most pros use a mix of hand screwdrivers for feel and control, plus a drill or impact driver with a proper bit set for speed. For day-to-day fixing, it is usually PZ and PH for general screws, and Torx for a lot of modern fixings and ironmongery.
What is the best brand of screwdriver set?
There is no single best for everyone, but the best brand is the one that matches your real fixings and stands up to your driver. Makita screwdriver sets are a solid choice if you are already on Makita kit and want bits that cope with impact use and come in proper organised cases.
Are Makita screwdriver sets ok for impact drivers, or just combi drills?
Many Makita sets include impact-rated bits, which are what you want for an impact driver because they handle the hammering better. Check the product details for impact suitability, and if you are driving fixings all day, stick to impact-rated bits and keep spares of the common sizes.
What bits do I actually need in a Makita screwdriver set for UK site work?
If you only buy one set, make sure it covers PZ2 and PH2 properly, plus a spread of Torx sizes because they are everywhere now. Hex bits are handy for furniture fixings and certain anchors, but do not get blinded by huge sets full of sizes you will never touch.
Is a Makpac bit set like the Makita Makpac B-49638 worth it?
Yes if you want organisation and fewer losses, because everything has a slot and it stacks neatly with other storage instead of living loose in a drawer. If you only do the odd fixing job, a smaller pocket set is fine, but on busy fit-outs the organised case saves time every day.
Who Uses Makita Screwdriver Sets?
- Chippies and kitchen fitters who live on PZ2 and Torx and need bits that do not twist out the first time they hit a knot.
- Sparks and plumbers doing second-fix, clips, and fixings where the right bit size saves small screws from getting chewed up.
- Maintenance teams and site supervisors who want one grab-and-go set for quick repairs, adjustments, and snag lists.
Accessories That Make Makita Screwdriver Sets Work Harder
A couple of add-ons stop dropped screws, snapped bits, and wasted time when you are working one-handed or in awkward spots.
1. Magnetic bit holder
This keeps the bit seated and helps hold the screw on the tip, which is a lifesaver when you are fixing overhead, reaching into cabinets, or working off steps and cannot afford to fumble fixings.
2. Screw guide or depth stop
If you are running lots of plasterboard or repetitive fixings, a guide helps keep the screw straight and consistent, so you are not burying heads too deep or tearing the face of the board.
3. Extra impact-rated PZ2 and PH2 bits
Do not wait until the last bit rounds off mid-job; keeping spares of the sizes you use daily means you stay productive and your fixings look tidy.
