I broke one not to long ago surprisingly . But then again probably 10,000 or more screws and beat the shit out of it . But I can tell ya , they beat every other major brand such as dewalt , Milwaukee , irwin. Irwin are complete and trash its rediculous.

You can twist them yourself? So people are paying hundreds for the latest and greatest impact drivers then to go and buy bits and bit holders that actually encourage torque loss? Terrible idea and a waste of money. 

 

Rigidity and as few joints as possible make impact drivers economical. 

At the risk of reopening an old discussion that got testy for no particularly good reason, these are being used for screws where you don’t need anywhere near the full impact torque of the tool. Intentionally designing the bits or their holders with a measured amount of rotational “spring” can spread out the impact energy over a slightly wider timeframe mitigating the damage all that torque being applied in a more instantaneous fashion can cause. Probably doesn’t really waste much of anything in the way of energy either.
