I have one of these and it has worked out really well. Just got a new Makita bit set and it came with a magnetic screw holder that goes onto any of their bits (other than their shortest ones). So, it's more versatile than the older version.
Right that’s what I would think, the retention from the actual sleeve seems more from the tight fit then the magnet if there even is a second magnet in there
I have one of these for an occasional woodworking project. Don't think I've ever removed the green outer sleeve. Just stuck a bit in it, grabbed a screw, and that was it. It isn't that complicated. Seriously.
If you have one roughly accurate spring scale, you can do some calibration of about any old spring. You can put the spring in a sheath you can write on with known values, or sliding along a board or metal sheet. Or just measure the elongation and make up your own scale. Once you have an identified and repeatable elongation, you can look for another way to turn your observation into a standard quantity. I've even used water such as filling suspended container and then measuring the volume of water, convert to mass at 1ml/g then divide by 454 to get pounds.
I appreciate it when a tool company just won't leave good enough alone. There are some particular advantages to this bit holder, and they seem to have evolved out of minor issues with other bit holders with features over just a magnet in a hex tube. That said, the more I use it, the more I see that there is still room for improvement.
Good channel for those willing to waste a lot of time for a simple explanation.
LOL

Can you provide a part number of this set?
Can't believe I've only just found your channel. Love your content very interesting
Thanks for watching. I have only been around in this form since mid December so I'm still a little hard to find.
I'm pretty sure that the "twice the magnetic strength" refers to holding the screw for one handed driving not for holding in the bit.

Thanks for the Idea! I'm going to build a Spring Scale and test a bunch of things. I have a bucket of various springs that need a use.🔨👍😁👍🔧

Hey buddy got the exact same one from dewalt,and they work quiet well when you can't get your hands in there.😬

Not verry smart 😅
