## Overview

The Makita B-51873 is a 12-inch flexible impact bit holder crafted from high-quality alloy steel, designed exclusively for high-torque impact drivers. Its ergonomic, non-rotating grip and strong magnetic bit lock make it ideal for professional-grade fastening tasks in tight or awkward spaces, including deck building and framing. Compatible with 1/4-inch hex drive bits, it delivers durability and precision for both commercial and residential projects.

## Description

Get the right accessory for fastening in hard-to-reach spaces with the Makita 12 in. Flexible Bit Holder. The high quality steel construction is engineered for use with high-torque impact drivers, with a full 12" length for extended reach.

Review: Excellent design and build quality - A top-quality device that is useful far beyond anything I'd imagined. Bends easily beyond 90 degrees if needed but still stiff enough to do one-handed reaches of fasteners. Is standing up to hard use including with driving bolts with a socket driver with nary a sign of distress. The design is brilliant, with the outer sleeve being non-rotating so you can grasp it anywhere and run the fasteners in. Only wish they made a second, shorter version for certain tight spots.
Review: Fits and works well! - This can get you out of a frustrating situation! Bits lock in nicely and magnet strength is good! Will fit in tight places and works surprisingly well, well worth the price, i had a cheap knock off but it broke so had to get the good ole Makita brand!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are hex end bits, drivers, etc. held in place? Does it have a positive locking feature?**
A: Just like bits for an impact driver, you slide the collar up insert the bit/nut driver etc, and a spring locks it back into place.
One comment: you CANNOT place a lot of torque on this when flexed. It will become a pretzel. It works best for relatively slow speed, deliberate controlled driving or drilling. Within its limitations I've found it to work very well.

**Q: Is this still usable in a precision setting, or is it exclusive for high torque applications?**
A: This will NOT work in high torque settings. It will become a pretzel.

**Q: What is the outside diameter of the bit holder portion?  I have a 5/8” inside diameter tube I need to insert it into.  Thx.**
A: Measured with calipers, and the round, fattest part of it, where the "Makita" is written, is about 0.77 inches.

**Q: Will this work on 3/8 in. drive bits**
A: This will work in a 3/8 inch drive drill but it accepts 1/4 inch bits, Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Makita tool (no surprise)
*by L***Y on April 1, 2025*

First impressions: impressive. Makita quality. Best one I’ve come across. Like many other folks have likely experienced, I have had a number of tools trying to accomplish that task of fasteners out of the way and hard to get to with bendable extended bits. Sometimes I have success, sometimes not as the tool can’t do what it was designed for. Like most tool things, improvements come as years pass. And that is the case with Makita’s unit. I am impressed with this upon delivery. I haven’t put it to use yet, as presently I do not have a situation to use it other than test it. I love the tip sleeve movement to lock in the hex shank bits and sockets.
