Screwdriver Bit Holders

Screwdriver Bit Holders Information

A screwdriver bit holder is an accessory that can make driving screws with power tools a quicker and easier process. Firstly, assuming the bit holder is magnetic, it will magnetize the screwdriver bit - this helps to stop screws from falling to the ground when fastening or unfastening. Secondly, when installed in a drill chuck, bits can be swapped over in an instant without having to unchuck them from the machine. Bit holders can also be used with other accessories like hex shank drill bits. There are two main types; basic magnetic bit holders and quick release, or locking, types.

Here's our quick application guide:

• Magnetic Bit Holders - On a basic magnetic bit holder, 1/4" hex bits are held in place purely by magnetic force. For most screwdriving applications, especially when using 25mm bits, this is secure enough, and confers the advantage that bits can simply be pulled out when they need to be swapped over.
• Quick Release Bit Holders – often combined with a magnet as well, these bit holders have a locking collar which grips bits securely and ensures they can't fall out during use. The collar is simply pulled down to release the accessory. This system is ideal for use with hex shank drill bits and longer screwdriver bits, and enables these accessories to be swapped over much quicker than if they were installed directly into the drill chuck.
