Bit Holder Recomendation

I used a magnetic bit holder that came with a kit I purchased a while ago. The problem I keep encountering is the the bits stay stuck to the screw fastner.

I’m using the Dewalt max fit bits. I believe the bit holder is a cheap china made holder. Is the magnet too weak? I have seen some bit holders that have a lock designed to precent this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a mess load, my top 3 right now are the Makita mag setter, Wiha Terminator Set or the Wera were rapidapter

Thanks for the input. Most of the stuff at the box stores doesn’t seem to hold up well.

I’m going to try the Weha ClicFix Magnetic Insert Bit Holder. Bought it from KC. The reviews said it doesn’t hold up to impact drivers but I just do light duty screw driving. I’m currently using 2″ bit with no adapter.

WIha stuff is usually pretty solid, the best stuff at the box stores are the Makita stuff

Makita gold is awesome. I have a reasonable pile of Wera, but I use it with more care rather than impacting lol. Price on Makita gold is excellent as well. 

My favorite is Felo. Basically, anything European-made is a winner. Makita(Japan) is also very good.

My vote is for the Makita gold as well. I also have a Hilti that is fantastic.

I gotta check out some felo I’ve noticed European made have much better magnets than the Chinese stuff

My Felo bit holder will magnetize a 2.5″ non-magnetized bit enough to hold a screw. A 1″ bit holds like glue.

Real men use :

Yup I agree…Wera bit holders are great…the Impaktor is the bee’s knees. They make great bits as well. Made in Germany

Got this one in a Wila terminator kit from KC_tools. The bit holder #71496 magnetic with locking ring. Don’t know if this the one you spoke of. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]
