I then also re-used some super strong magnets to help hold drill bits and impact bits to my new tools:

Great job on the “life hacks”! I would like to have a sizing board like that too. It seems I am always trying to match up size and threads on something. I like the magnet idea as well. The impacts and drills I have bought in the past few years have no way to store an extra bit. This is frustrating for me when I work on commercial door hardware, going from a #2 to a #3 tip and losing it every time. Great job!

i miss having a magnet since selling my dewalts, though they have on-board 1/4″ bit storage. The Bosch only has one slot, the Milwaukee has two slots, but you really need a magnet to store regular drill bits.

Nice job Dwain. I wish my new Blsch came with a belt clip let alone a bit holder but….lice stuff though!
