Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm sure its working properly as I just
used it properly to put some 4x50mm Turbogold screws into some battens.
The screws would go in about 10mm then start to make that ratchet sound
as if the driver was struggling, but put them in no problem.

Thinner screws go into soft wood in much the same way. the screws go in
maybe half way and then the sound of the ratchet starts!!
Yup, that is the way of the impact driver, when the going get s tough, it
gets clicking!

Thanks John.
Seems to be a great wee machine for the money. What also impressed me is not
one screw slipped. Although that could be to do with the new bits I was
using that came with the Makita.


I agree - not much slippage. The only time it does slip is if I don't
put some pressure on the driver to get (and keep) the bit in the screw
head. That applies with any halfway decent bit - i.e. one that is not
worn out or damaged.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
