They used to put these on all screwdrivers many years ago. They had a pair of spring steel tabs that pulled forward over the end and held the screw head just like these do.
Robertson is so superior it hurts. Have a job assembling furniture once, notice that most of the Phillips screws are designed to also accept a Robertson bit-and that work moves three times as fast if you toss the Phillips bit in the trash where it belongs. Dang Henry Ford wanted exclusive rights and Robertson wouldn't give it to him, so that's why the US is cursed with the worst possible screw head pattern
Robertson system has a certain amount of trouble with the square end breaking off due to stress concentration. Torx and Allen have mainly eliminated this.
@@joelee2371 Allen screws strip for me constantly. That's just anecdotal, but torx is infinitely more reliable for me. Robertson seems good, but I haven't ever had to reuse those screws, so I'm not sure how they hold up on repeated use
There were other high quality screwdrivers that had metal clips on the screwdrivers decades ago . I still have a few . One was used for the screws on the points & condenser inside the distributor on a vehicle . 😁
Wait you mean they had magnets and springs in the ancient 1950s?! But yeah it's pretty amazing how commonplace a ton of useful designs were, yet they get forgotten and re-discovered every few decades anyway.
Yup, i have used them, great on non-magnetic screws. Made made by Vanco and Xcelite, and still available. Look under "quick-wedge" they even make them for Phillips screws.
likely mostly americans. I saw a thing on this and the superior robertson was about to take over but something about the war starting pushed it back, everything went phillips in the war machines...and the rest is history. Over the years, I've gone through 2 friend's (long time US residents and households), and it wasn't until just a few years ago that i realized none of their multibit hollow-handle style screwdrivers had robertson bits.
@littlegoobie I believe ot had something to do with Ford. There was some falling out and he booted them out of the factory. Phillips was brought it to replace them. I remember doing some research on this a while ago, but can't remember the exact details
Wasn't the Phillips head developed to prevent workers from over tightening and stripping screws? I read that long ago and though how dumb now instead you get stripped bits and stripped screw heads. I'm not even familiar with the Robinson though. Glad you brought it up so I can now go research it. Currently I use torx as my screw head of choice
Torx are the current answer to this problem, and they aren't tapered so they don't strip easily. Not sure if Robertson can withstand more torque or not, but I've never had a problem with Torx
Imagine me on my first day as a fitter helper watching my brand new sexy billet empire level fall to the ground, slipped right off the stainless pipe I so confidently left it resting on. I learned a valuable lesson about metallurgy that day.
My dad was an electronics tech when i was young , in the 60, and had a standard screwdriver with that spring loaded attachment in steel already on it , it is nice to see that you don’t have to buy the specialized screwdriver to have that added option.
I have several of those. Mostly in straight edge. I also have these skinny twist things that moves a little bar at the tip that work pretty well. Again only in straight edge. And who uses slotted screws if they dont have to? Except my dad. He hated Phillips heads because they strip out easily.
I like the DeWalt version of that magnet bit more. I have both and used them frequently. The DeWalt Phillips bit has a detent at the front, making the magnet choose one of two positions. The "forward position" makes it butt up against the back of a screw, maintaining perfect alignment every time.
One of the primary reasons I've switched to Torx head screws for nearly everything I do. Aside from being far more strip resistant, they also tend to stay locked onto the bit well enough by themselves, as long as you aren't slinging your drill around. They do cost a fair bit more, but are genuinely worth it in most cases.
It usually depends on the alloying elements (percentage of Chromium). Austenitic stainless is not ferromagnetic at all such as your 300 series stainless steel. Martensitic and ferritic steel is either fully or slightly magnetic (paramagnetic). 400 series stainless steel is slightly magnetic. Interestingly, you can reintroduce martensite to an austenitic steel through cold working.
@@jaygraham5407the "quality" has nothing to do with it; it's about the alloy mix and the processing/manufacturing methods. There are many stainless alloys, for many different purposes, some more or less magnetic than others. Source: Wikipedia and manufacturers' web sites.
@@ericpalmer2831 Well explained. As a Chemistry guy, you are right, but back to screw holding. True simple spring clip works ok to retain most screw head shapes.
This is the kind of thing that's perfect for 3D printing. I bet there are downloadable files for it already. If not, I'll design them myself, and share them with the world
They made a much better option years ago for the stainless problem and it fits in much tighter spaces. Us electricians always called them a holding driver which also comes in Phillips. As for regular drivers and screws any magnet stuff onto the shaft will also hold the screw.
You know that most 1/4 inch drill bit attachments that you can use different bits magnetic or not have a sleeve that slides over the screw to hold it. Crazy.
You mean the sleeve that's designed to keep the screw aligned? The sleeve that obscures the view of the bit head making it impossible to tell how far your sinking the screw head into the material? Hate those
@@SupremeShucklewent to buy the “special tool” as you wrote but couldn’t find it this isn’t prehistoric times we name items. They used specialized tools to sculpt and paint even a thousand years ago
I use tiny neodymium magnets. They grab stainless well enough to get it where you want. I get mine from hard drives and break them into little pieces and have them pretty much everywhere.
They are complaining it won't hold onto a stainless screw. It says in the name... it's a magnetic bit tip. Why do people expect it to hold onto stainless, a nearly non-magnetic metal except for a specific grade of stainless. Your using the wrong bit for the wrong screw if that's what your expecting. Although a lot of stainless is ever so slightly magnetic it's to the point of nearly not being. If it's not a heavily ferrous metal 'iron based' it won't be attracted to a magnet. Even though stainless has iron it is an alloy that is so heavily mixed with another material that that material generally overrides the iron's magnetic property in it leaving it essentially non-magnetic. This being said there are only two other metals alongside iron that are naturally magnetic, Nickel is one and I believe... Cobalt is the other. I may be wrong on that but I think that's it.
Not all stainless is non-ferromagnetic*. Most stainless steel is made by adding chromium, which does not inhibit the magnetic effects, only when nickel is added. Nickel is added for low temperature strength. Most stainless steel that people encounter daily will be ferromagnetic*
@@levishepard3696 cant answer, the source didnt explain. I'd assume it has to do with the crystal structure made by the alloy. just because the two separate parts are ferromagnetic, doesnt mean the combination will be.
Yuppers , Craftsman and a few other big brands made them . I bought a full set of these type of screwdrivers way back in the late 1960's and still have a few of them from the set .
ATTENTION YOUNG MEN!!: Do not heed this man advice, I tried "just the tip" in high-school, nine months later I was starting my senior year with a bouncing blue eyed baby girl. She I'd great, but it's not advised.
I have an old school phillips that has a clip boilt in. Only problem is the shank is Aluminum, and it appears as tho someone hammered it into a fastener at some point, deforming the tip. I love that you can buy these for most screwdrivers
I give up . I bought a full set of these screwdrivers way back in the late 1960's and still have a few of them . I just can't get replacement screwdrivers of the same big brand I bought back then , even though they have a lifetime warranty on them . For some reason they discontinued making them just a couple decades ago and that same brand is still around .
Real stainless steel is a non-ferrous metal. Magnets do not work on stainless steel. If you don't know that you shouldn't be working on people's houses or anything
Here’s another one, for machine thread screws. Try a tiny dap of some grease or such. I work in water treatment and used to use quite a bit of o-ring lube. That stuff will hold 5/16 x 2 screw on the end of a Phillip’s all day long.
Thas a wood screw my guy.. .. not usually in cramped places.. js. For those saying duh.. name one place a Phillips screw is in a cramped place in a car.
I don't know , but were great on the screws for the points & condenser in the distributor on a car . Used them many a time for that alone plus many more places .
That magnetic bit holder is probably stupidly expensive. the bits themselves that I bought are magnetic. You'll save money if you spend more money the first time.

So, another option, which I am sure is cheaper, is to go to a hardware store and grab a pack of the really strong magnets that are circular with a small hole in them. Then simply put them on the inside drawer of your tool box and place the tips of your impact driver bits on them. While your at home drinking beer or driving to your jobsite, the bits will become magnetized. When you need them, the tips will be magnetized and hild the screws for you, instead of having to buy that nifty tool that I'm sure is way overpriced, you only had to spend about $4. I've been doing this for years and have the side of my bit drawer plastered with these magnets and they keep my bits in place and magnetize's them at the same time.
They were on a special screwdriver made by a few big brands . My dad had some and I bought a full set of these screwdrivers way back in the late 1960's . I still have a few of them from the full set I bought .
Stainlees steel, brass, aluminum, lead, zinc, gold, silver are non ferrous metals. It means they do not have any iron in them, and magnets will not work on them. Dispite what some folks may think, copper is slightly ferrous.
Am I the only one who remembers a screwdriver in their dad’s toolbox that had a little dohicky shaped like the stainless steel grabber attached to it? Pretty sure it was to do exactly this, but I never asked - it was just the weird screwdriver.
I still have a few of those screwdrivers from the full set I bought way back in the late 1960's . Great screwdrivers , especially for automotive points & condenser in the distributor .

Am I the only one who remembers a screwdriver in their dad’s toolbox that had a little dohicky shaped like the stainless steel grabber attached to it? Pretty sure it was to do exactly this, but I never asked - it was just the weird screwdriver.
I still have a few of those screwdrivers from the full set I bought way back in the late 1960's . Great screwdrivers , especially for automotive points & condenser in the distributor .
They look like something I'd expect to see on a Taofledermaus video.
Duct tape Works too for screws but stainless isn’t magnetic
The perfect use case for a 3d printer
Holding screwdrivers have been around for at least 20 years.
A few big name brands made screwdrivers with the screw holding clip Many decades ago . My dad had his and in the late 1960's I bought a full set of these screwdrivers . I still have a few from the set I bought way back then .
That's nice, but I just use a little piece of masking tape.
Look at what man has built without those...
Not Really. They found evidence of these during the time of the Great Pyramid construction
Oh man I need these, I do marine electrical so we only use stainless or occasionally brass fasteners. I’ve lost a fair few screws down into the bilges lol
"Just the TIP!" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
"Just the tip".
I've said that often.
