The hex adapter fulfill their function and are built very robust. The ball has a strong pressing force, so keep the bits securely. Only downside is the susceptibility to rust - if the adapter to get wet (They have used in the rain) they start after just one hour to rust - is not really tragic, but I would have expected from Hitachi better coating.
Nevertheless super bit adapter and full points - at the hardware store each of the three adapters already cost many times over!
