[@almosthuman1398]

You can actually use the Makita bit holder magnet the same way. Just flip it around with the flat end toward the screw. Then slide it up to interface with the rim of the screw head. That's the way I usually use it. It works much better than with the bullet end out. I have always suspected that an engineer designed it and a marketer decided how to photograph it.

[@Glide1992]

Thanks for the tip. I always used it bullet end out.

[@BFSarthur]

I've used this tool before and the only reason I stopped using it was because when I needed to seat the screw head flush with the surface I was screwing it into, I could not see when it was flush because the magnet attachment covered my line of sight to the screw head completely at the point when I needed to know when to stop. Other than that it was nice, but do you see my point? If you are not doing detail work than yes it is a god send.

[@daviddickson412]

You would have to stop before it gets close and remove it to see.

[@ZachShannon1]

I think, depending on the length of the bit you're using, you can pull it back a little bit once the screw is already in the material, then finish driving it in nice and careful.

That thing attached to my metal wheelbarrow and I just throw nails and screws toward it and they just go into the tray like a baseball going into a catcher's mitt. That is fricking awesome. When I am done maintaining my fence I wheel all of my screws, drills and other paraphernalia to the shed and scoop out all of the bad nails and screws and throw them away without having to pick them up one at a time.

[@TheBootyWrangler]

I thought the sleeve was to quickly pop off magnetic nut drivers and sockets. I’ve tried using it to hold the screw onto my bit but it never works as well for that purpose as my brain imagines. The magnet holds it flush to the bit while the sleeve lets it kind of just loosely sit in there. The sleeve is still very useful for catching the screws if they come completely off the bit.

i tested them all out and the best is to me ryobi. the way its designed is that it does not move and if you adjust it to just float above the magnet you can drill with out worry of damaging it. the other magnet tip actually make contact with the screw and that is how it gets damaged. a friend of mine use to put painters tap on the tips and remove them after the job. that is also will protect the magnet for longer use.

[@tableseven8133]

Thanks for this product review. For years there seamed to me nothing like the things I used back in the 1980's that could be used with a slot screw. It was pretty impossible to use a power tool on them back then, and even worse if you did not drill out a pilot hold first. This item from DeWalt would also work and even better. The tool back then was a longer screw driver bit then normal, very similar to the ones in this video, but it had a the metal tub around it with a light spring. It was not magnetic, but it surrounded the top of the slotted screw head keeping your power drill centered on the screw and as you got close to the material the spring would allow it to slid up allowing you to finish the screw in the material.

[@DonLeonM]

Hey It says it was discontinued :) But in reality, DeWalt has has had it as part of its' kit for a while, just with a different shape (it can be a "extender" or this more compact size). Also, it's great for drywall usage, so it stops when needs to, and doesn't dig too deep into the dry wall :)

yeah Shahar, it's been hard to find unless in the kit. Wish they would go back to selling them independently again

[@OscarHanzely]

I rather like magnetized entire bit then rely on the tip rounded magnet. One disadvantage is that you now have chunky thick bit if you need to get to tighter spaces as you cannot extend or use longer bits. The magnetic bit holder is far superior as it magnetizes entire bit.

[@rockytransaman8288]

The magnetic bit holder is much better as you said. I get them from replacements for drywall screwguns. You also are able to control how far you want to sink the screw.

[@chrisharvey1091]

It looks like an amazing simple tool that I would probably use myself. However, with that said, as a Canadian, we have Robertson screws and the most commonly used Robertson bit used is the #2. The reason Robertson screws and bits are so amazing is because they stay on the bit because both the screw head and the bit are tapered squares so the produce what's called an interference fit, similar to how NPT pipe thread works, which allows the screw to hold onto the bit. Alif you want the learn about the Robertson screw, The History Guy actually makes a video all about it

[@terrybranch1987]

We have those too. Not the best for driving long screws imo. No2 torx heads r best for wood screws as far as slippage goes. We have Robertson holes integrated into the slotted panel screws and device terminals. I like them much better than slotted or Phillips but always use torx heads for driving fasteners.

[@knewledge8626]

What freeks me out is I watched The History Guys video a few months ago. For some reason he dropped off my suggestion list and I didn't notice until your comment. KZbin up to shenanigans again.

[@ckaceritus]

@@terrybranch1987 Yeah, sorry, you're dead wrong. A multi-headed screw is not a robertson, and will of course suffer from cam-out more than a yucky torx. As Chris said, a proper Robertson with its tapered square has amazing hold and strength compared to the small tines of the torx. I regularly drive 3.5" screws with no cam-out.

[@terrybranch1987]

@@ckaceritus I never said a multi head screw was a Robertson. I said we have screws with Robertson holes integrated. I know they r square. I use them all the time. We call em Square drives here in the u.s. in my experience, the edges round out on them easily. Never stripped a torx in my entire life. The best is an opinion so I'm not sure why u r so bitchy about mine. Or maybe ur reading comprehension is that of a potato and thats why u thought I said Robertsons r the same as multihead screws. Idk maybe read it again slowly.

[@granthallman7721]

There seems to be a teensy discrepancy in the dimensions of Robertson screws vs drivers. Some work together perfectly and never slip, some screw and bit combos work poorly and slip all the time. US manufactured bits particularly seem to perform poorly with Canadian made deck screws. Just based on my own experience, when i find a bit that slips, i just stay away from that manufacturer and try another. Anyone else noticed this? Some work, some slip?

[@duncdunc76]

I'm a Dewalt fan and use their cordless line to make a living but the Dewalt bit magnet is not the best. It is decent but I use a lot of T40 lag screws for work and the magnets on the Dewalts, as others have said, will crack and break on you with any kind of impact use. If your not using an impact then they might last a good while. But in all honesty why buy the dewalt when TRZ actual shows you the best bit magnet on the market in this vid and has done a review on it as well. Yep it's the Makita Mag Boost. Hands down the Best bit magnet you can buy that I've found and I've tried just about every one. Stay away from the Irwins and Masterforce because they simply can come off your bit with the screw and their magnets are also prone to breaking when used with an impact. There ok if you get them in a pack with bits as the magnet is decently strong but I wouldnt waste money on buying them on their own. The Makita Mag Boost is the best, and only one you should your money on imo!

link for dewalt is 22.00 and makita is unavaillable home depot sells magnets the size of a nickel with a hole in it like a donut slide magnet over the bit and it holds screws well 4.97 for 4 magnets

Thansk for the video...never knew what it was for! Lol

[@connorlarkin9104]

In Canada we have Robertson head screws which don’t require a magnet to hold on to the bit. Square head instead of a Phillips

[@rossharring6996]

makita version looks better, since you can still see the end of the bit and the screw head. the dewalt version looks like it would be easy to overdrive the screw

[@danielhowell1640]

I like the ones that are magnetized and have a 3 inch sleeve that you pull down the screw almost all the way to the point of the screw. The magnet isn't as strong but it won't fall off if you hit it on something as you're moving in to drive the screw.

Now they need to invent something for 316 Grade stainless screws.

There is, dewalt item DT7701

@@target007 Dewalt DWAIRDG is the same thing, but rated for impact drivers.

Have you tried using a Robertson screw? They stay on the bit the best in my experience.

@@montgomerybojangles8644 - I have had terrible experience with Robertson/Square drive screws, particularly at the most inopportune time and place. .I find that with Robertson screws the driver bit must be perfectly aligned with the screw otherwise the screw will "cam out". This is particularly true if the screw is made of 316 or 304 Grade Stainless (which I use on cedar and pressure treated lumber). A while ago I switched to Torx/Star drive screws which allows for some misalignment with the driver.

@@montgomerybojangles8644 The square drive or Robertson screws (that Kreg offers) have an entirely different problem. Robertson screws require the drive bit to be almost perfectly aligned (plus or minus 2 degrees) with the screw. Failing to align driver with the screw will "cam out" the screw.
