Come to Canada and learn the beauty of square drive Robertson screws, no gimmicks needed.
The best ever!
Cool! I have Parkinson’s and sometimes the symptoms are pretty annoying...This little accessory is going to make my life a lot better. Thanks for the video!
Really happy this could help Ralph. If you have trouble finding this through the link, I have other video for bits just like this 👊
Tool Review Zone Thank you! And thank you for responding, that’s very considerate. Keep up the great work!
My dad gets the shakes too... 83 years old and using his impact driver every day. He loves the torque bit. He'll ask me to drive a screw now and then. Keep it ☝
@@ToolReviewZone I had trouble finding this, not found. What's it called?
This is the new version amzn.to/3jpoaEk
I invented the impact driver and this attachment. I'm so proud of the way you have all embraced my invention.
Your bs game is strong, my friend.
@@A.C.71 what do you mean. I'm telling the truth this time I swear.
@BillyBullshitter I believe that you believe that.
@@A.C.71 so does that mean you believe me. It would make it easier for everyone if you did.
Are you the guy who sold me the London Bridge?
You can actually use the Makita bit holder magnet the same way. Just flip it around with the flat end toward the screw. Then slide it up to interface with the rim of the screw head. That's the way I usually use it. It works much better than with the bullet end out. I have always suspected that an engineer designed it and a marketer decided how to photograph it.
Thanks for the tip. I always used it bullet end out.
I've had one of these in a bit set for a year and never used it. Watched your video, went out and tried it. It works so much better than a bit alone!
I'm embarrassed to say I've had one of these for years and had no idea what it's function was. So many times I could have been using this and had no idea. You got a like from me sir, thanks.
In Canada we have square bits that fit the screws . No need for no crap , your screw just holds to the bit
WOW!! I have had this bit in my set for a long time and I had no idea how to use it so I never did! You have changed my impact driving experience! Thank you!!
I’ve had this thing in my toolbox for years, it came with the bits for my impact and I had no idea how to properly use it wow thanks so much for this video 🙏🏽
Awesome 👊
Me too
Yep me to had no idea I futzed with it for a min and couldn't figure it out gave up
I literally shows how to use it on the packaging lol
@@bongJovi420o eeeeeehhhh, Lucas!
I've been having the DeWalt one for over 2 years and still use it, very helpful tool.
Yup. This definitely solves an ongoing issue. Thanks for sharing.
I just bought this yesterday and tried to figure out what it was for. I am just now getting use to the "how to" videos and I thought, "there must be a video for this". So thank you so much, this was a huge help.
Haha, awesome. Glad it helped!!
I’ve had this bit in my set for a while and didn’t know it’s use until I watched your video. Thanks.
Another tip about maintaining a fence. I went to the Auto Zone and bought a magnetic tray. That thing attached to my metal wheelbarrow and I just throw nails and screws toward it and they just go into the tray like a baseball going into a catcher's mitt. That is fricking awesome. When I am done maintaining my fence I wheel all of my screws, drills and other paraphernalia to the shed and scoop out all of the bad nails and screws and throw them away without having to pick them up one at a time. Sorry for so many comments. Hope this helps for all you guys that like to screw around.
Thanks for this product review. For years there seamed to me nothing like the things I used back in the 1980's that could be used with a slot screw. It was pretty impossible to use a power tool on them back then, and even worse if you did not drill out a pilot hold first. This item from DeWalt would also work and even better. The tool back then was a longer screw driver bit then normal, very similar to the ones in this video, but it had a the metal tub around it with a light spring. It was not magnetic, but it surrounded the top of the slotted screw head keeping your power drill centered on the screw and as you got close to the material the spring would allow it to slid up allowing you to finish the screw in the material.
I had one of these for years and never knew what it was or how to use it.
Thank you my man
Glad I saw this video, in the store I had always seen these little guys but never knew what they did. Total game changer for doing projects around the house!
I have this and didn’t know the magnet slides until this video!
This is a true "Shutup and take my money" product 😂
I've been using this for 2,3 years now. It makes my job easier. Cheap and reliable.
i use the Dewalt magnetic screw guide that slides over the screw and eliminates wobble. You will still get wobble from this short magnetic holder.
OMG! I’ve had this little baby for years. Just didn’t know how to use it. I’ll be using from now on. Thanks Brother!!!
Lol, I was trying to figure it out for a while too bro haha. Thanks for the comment!!
Me too!
So that’s what it’s for! It came in my new set and I had no idea what it was for! I so needed this all day today LOL. Thanks man!
Haha, tha ks for the comment bro👊
Lmao I didn’t either🤣☺️
I have never used this bit, but I can however tell you, I will be buying this bit. For one I am a Dewalt guy already, two and most important part, your video was my selling point. Great work and thank you
I’m glad you figured it out because I threw away my first one back some time ago lol. Thought it was a piece of garbage but finally saw how it worked.
Great review on a solid product, you missed it’s other purpose which helps it be even better. It also keeps your fastener from sinking too far in your material
This is the #1 thing for me. You can buy those sleeves/drive guides and that protect your fingers and guide fasteners but you can't see how far you are sinking it into the materials. This solves that issue.
This tool came with a screw driver I purchased. Didn't know what it was and found out by accident. Now I love it and It works with every bit I've tried. I wish this existed when I was a kid just learning home improvement. Would have kept me from learning so many variations of profanity. Thanks for the review.
I work in a factory and we’ve been using these for years, very interesting accessory for sure
It’s also helps with no over sinking screws.
A con is trying to remove screws that have been over sunk. It will not reach them.
A very handy tool. Phillips and flat screws won’t strip as easily either.
I’ve seen sheet rockers use these when they are putting up dry wall over their heads. Works like a charm from what I’ve seen.
I just found out about these fairly recently.
A freind was using one. It worked slick as a politician!
I have used the telescoping sleeve bit holders for years they work great too
same here
I thought the sleeve was to quickly pop off magnetic nut drivers and sockets. I’ve tried using it to hold the screw onto my bit but it never works as well for that purpose as my brain imagines. The magnet holds it flush to the bit while the sleeve lets it kind of just loosely sit in there. The sleeve is still very useful for catching the screws if they come completely off the bit.
Worked slick as a politician? Where do you live? Lol.
@@toronjanahera1143 😆, mostly in the 1980s ... Lol
Nice!!! I actually have one of those things just laying in the tool box for years! Never knew what it was and never bothered to look it up! Thanks for the video tip!!!
Thanks for the demo!😊 now I know how it works!(now I know how to use it) very much appreciated👍🏻🥰
I've used this tool before and the only reason I stopped using it was because when I needed to seat the screw head flush with the surface I was screwing it into, I could not see when it was flush because the magnet attachment covered my line of sight to the screw head completely at the point when I needed to know when to stop. Other than that it was nice, but do you see my point? If you are not doing detail work than yes it is a god send.
You would have to stop before it gets close and remove it to see.
I think, depending on the length of the bit you're using, you can pull it back a little bit once the screw is already in the material, then finish driving it in nice and careful.
Good item - so of course Dewalt had discontinued it! lol
They still make it under flextorque name and with a different color
@@haterskeephatin101 Thanks!!!
Unfortunately after reading the reviews on the Flextorque version it appears to ONLY support proprietary Dewalt "Flextorque" bits. No other brand of bits can be used with it, not even other Dewalt bits such as "MaxFit"
Sorry to say that this still gets a big thumbs down from me for them crippling an previously very useful product like this. ☹
Makita makes a pretty good version of it
Dewalt still makes it. Our local homedepot sells it as part of a drill bit kit
I literally just got one in a bit set a few weeks ago. I have no idea about the individual sales.
Thanks for the review, I extremely need it!
I recently bought a Dewalt 6-in-1 screwdriver that came with this. Never thought to throw it on a drill too! Awesome!
Milwaukee sells these with integrated tips, Philips, square, or T25 for about $4 apiece. What I like is that the screw threads don't catch your glove as you're trying to start a screw.
Exactly. I am right handed but the fingers on my left glove always wears out first from holding screws.
Buying one of these tomorrow
I love these things. I have even caught a screw I dropped a few times. That made it worth every penny
It's a great essential gadget. The fitment of the bits is excellent as well, which also helps with retention.
You sir, have an exceptional nail biting habit.
I guess huh !!
Mine are worse
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Cool idea, I’m a Dewalt guy and use this particular bit magnet on the job everyday. I have experienced the magnet falling out but it lasted me approximately 6 months. Definitely a plus to have in any bit kit… highly recommend👍
Reglue it back in :)
I have a Norske bit holder which holds your preferred shortie bit.
A great addition to the tool box and looks like this Dewalt bit magnet should be too.
Thank you for the demo.
The 1.4K dislike Makita or Milwaukee users perhaps . Why would they dislike this video. Good Job!!! TOOL REVIEW ZONE...
I need this for my Ryobi Impact Driver, Thanks for sharing!
It's a dewalt bit please don't use it on a ryobie thanks!
The bits themselves are standardized. 1/4" hex.
I have a bunch of Ryobi... their stuff is mostly junk. The impact driver is sweet though.
@@TheRonboe gave up ryobi a long time ago; went to DeWalt ... awesome tools from DeWalt. Left Ryobi because of customer service and will never look back.
Thanks! Was just scratching my head about the purpose of that thing in my set, lol
What? Since when do women have tools?
@@lonespiritofthenight2561 Show yourself out.
You are a life saver ! Buying this tomorrow morning !
Thank you so much I had this magnetic bit holder for years in my accessories case but and never knew what it was use for, this tool is very useful.
They have one that I use quite a bit, it has the magnet on the end but the bits are interchangeable.
Nice to know I've had one for 6 months just sitting there.
Thanks for the tip! Awesome 👏
It took me a little bit to be convinced but the idea of getting this tool has just been drilled into my head. What can i say its an attractive bit.
Thansk for the video...never knew what it was for! Lol
A tool you didn't think you needed, but you do!😎
It absolutely works great I've had mine for like 6-8 months
Had this is my set for years and could not figure it out, figured it was time to consult RUclips ... thanks for this.
Haha, that's what we are here for Weekend 👊
MAN! This is kick ass, if I had a nickel for every time I had to come off a ladder. thank you, I buy a case!!!
Makita still had the best magnetic extension sleeve, It held the whole screw!
Wow I have this bit and never knew how the hell to use it! Thanks!
wow . iv learned something new today . going to order mine now online ! thankyou
Just caught this video, stopped in last night and picked up a two pack. Great tip, thanks!
I use this for drywall and gypsum ceiling! It counter sinks the screw perfectly !
Just bought a set of Dewalt Impact bits and a very similar looking item came with it, was't 100% sure what it was or how it came apart to load different bits. Now I know. Thanks.
Awesome video!!! I’ve always wondered what that was for. Thanks for sharing.
I just use a bit holder with the sliding sleeve. You can push harder and it'll stabilize longer screws. I'm not saying these don't work, but personally the sleeves work better
Every sleeve I've used siezed at some point.sleeves are great tho . I use Makita ,I just don't want that yellow on my drill 🤪
@@Decay5280mv Yeah the sleeves always end up jamming or popping off on me but usually after a couple months of hard use.
This came with the bit set I bought. Had the thing for years and had no clue what it was until watching this video haha. Thank you.
You are definitely not the only one Dblood. Thanks for the comment!
Dblood85 Holy hell me as well!! And I dropped some serious amountcof screws just last weekend - this thing was within reach the entire time.
goofsaddg gkle that is hilarious!
Im part of this party! Lol. I tried everything and i couldn't make sense of the damn thing. 2 years later, thank you Professor RUclips! You teach me how to be a little better every day!
As a professional Carpenter I’m not fond of this item it will help many peeps but for me it’s to get me out of a pinch tool not all day use the rest of the time I need to be in control of the screw not the magnet ..hard to explain but a great tool
Thanks. I have never seen this in any other video. Full-watch. Have a fine Thanksgiving.
I just learned about a tool that I didn't know that I needed (until now).
Lol, right!
OMG this is going to make my woodworking so much faster and easier.
I came here only looking for info on what that thing is. Thank you! Now I cannot wait until my next major project to try it out! The ease it will offer. No more dropping screws and having to climb back down the ladder to retrieve them! I'm psyched!
It will definitely make life easier Wagon!
Great tip!
I have the Makita one and love it. But sometimes I need a little more magnetic power.
So good to finally know what that does
It came in a set of bit adapters I've had for years. Never used it because I had no idea what it was. Thanks for splaining me!
I have this. And for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out its purpose. I was thrown off by the fact that the magnet is on the opposite side.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I only have one board to put up of 35 and the last 34 were a nightmare!
I feel like starting over....
Not really.
Warthog 71
Have u tried to get help for your drinking
i use a earth magnet to hold my screws in place they just improved with this design thank you i will think about it
I have this tool. It works amazing.
I was at Home Depot the other day and noticed that little thing in a set of DeWalt bits and was wondering what it was for. Thanks!
You got it buddy 👊
I use Robertson (square drive) screws whenever possible. No need for magnets or any other gadgets.
Yep... The bit gets stuck on them screws... Never had a screw fall off with them #2 square heads.👍
Good choice.
Im gunna buy 1 now thanks for the review
I’ve had/used mine now for about 6 months. Absolutely luv this little dealy. Great review! Keepem' coming!
Great recommendation, and dig your Atown shirt (I used to live in the Ridge next door, and my mom grew up in Atown.
Awesome brother 👊
I'm a Dewalt fan and use their cordless line to make a living but the Dewalt bit magnet is not the best. It is decent but I use a lot of T40 lag screws for work and the magnets on the Dewalts, as others have said, will crack and break on you with any kind of impact use. If your not using an impact then they might last a good while. But in all honesty why buy the dewalt when TRZ actual shows you the best bit magnet on the market in this vid and has done a review on it as well. Yep it's the Makita Mag Boost. Hands down the Best bit magnet you can buy that I've found and I've tried just about every one. Stay away from the Irwins and Masterforce because they simply can come off your bit with the screw and their magnets are also prone to breaking when used with an impact. There ok if you get them in a pack with bits as the magnet is decently strong but I wouldnt waste money on buying them on their own. The Makita Mag Boost is the best, and only one you should your money on imo!
I have been waiting for this all my life!
Diablo 6" impact driver is the best design and my favorite so far
Worked very well for me, used it and abused it.....till the magnet broke in half, I wish it would have lasted longer, I will be picking up a new pack. Good video ☺️
I’ve owned one forever and had no idea what it was for lol
And now you do😎
Same .
It came in my dewalt set , thought it was a drywall tool of some sort . I imagined it setting the depth for a screw haha
Checks out.
I won one of these a couple years ago, in a random safety meeting drawing at work. I haven't had a clue what it was for, since it didn't even say what it was on the package it came in. It was included in a screwdriver set. Thanks for the vid! Now I can actually use it, instead of letting it sit in a drawer somewhere!
Same here, I had no idea and never really bothered with it.
I have this on my Dewalt impact driver and love it. I have the Mikita one on Mikita impact and love that one as well thanks.
I rather like magnetized entire bit then rely on the tip rounded magnet. One disadvantage is that you now have chunky thick bit if you need to get to tighter spaces as you cannot extend or use longer bits. The magnetic bit holder is far superior as it magnetizes entire bit.
The magnetic bit holder is much better as you said. I get them from replacements for drywall screwguns. You also are able to control how far you want to sink the screw.
It looks like an amazing simple tool that I would probably use myself. However, with that said, as a Canadian, we have Robertson screws and the most commonly used Robertson bit used is the #2. The reason Robertson screws and bits are so amazing is because they stay on the bit because both the screw head and the bit are tapered squares so the produce what's called an interference fit, similar to how NPT pipe thread works, which allows the screw to hold onto the bit. Alif you want the learn about the Robertson screw, The History Guy actually makes a video all about it
We have those too. Not the best for driving long screws imo. No2 torx heads r best for wood screws as far as slippage goes. We have Robertson holes integrated into the slotted panel screws and device terminals. I like them much better than slotted or Phillips but always use torx heads for driving fasteners.
What freeks me out is I watched The History Guys video a few months ago. For some reason he dropped off my suggestion list and I didn't notice until your comment. RUclips up to shenanigans again.
@@terrybranch1987 Yeah, sorry, you're dead wrong. A multi-headed screw is not a robertson, and will of course suffer from cam-out more than a yucky torx. As Chris said, a proper Robertson with its tapered square has amazing hold and strength compared to the small tines of the torx.
I regularly drive 3.5" screws with no cam-out.
@@ckaceritus I never said a multi head screw was a Robertson. I said we have screws with Robertson holes integrated. I know they r square. I use them all the time. We call em Square drives here in the u.s. in my experience, the edges round out on them easily. Never stripped a torx in my entire life. The best is an opinion so I'm not sure why u r so bitchy about mine. Or maybe ur reading comprehension is that of a potato and thats why u thought I said Robertsons r the same as multihead screws. Idk maybe read it again slowly.
There seems to be a teensy discrepancy in the dimensions of Robertson screws vs drivers. Some work together perfectly and never slip, some screw and bit combos work poorly and slip all the time. US manufactured bits particularly seem to perform poorly with Canadian made deck screws. Just based on my own experience, when i find a bit that slips, i just stay away from that manufacturer and try another. Anyone else noticed this? Some work, some slip?
Got one of these with my bit kit from Dewalt super helpful
Great video. Thank you.
Now if you were a Canadian, you would be using Robertson screws and drivers. Robertson is square and the Robertson driver grips the screw all by its self and does not fall off. Almost impossible to strip too.
Invented in 1908 by P.L. Robertson, a native Canadian. ... Oh, yea, you can thank Henry Ford for no Robertson screws in the USA. Ford wanted exclusive rights to the screw design and P.L. Robertson told him to pound salt.
That is awesome I’m buying me some of these
Cool Tool, great idea.
Thanks for sharing.
I've had one of these that came with my Dewalt bit set and never used it. Only difference I can see is mine is metal where these are plastic. Now that I know how to use it and what it's for, I will be using it next time. Thanks for the video!
I have used the Dewalt but don’t like it that much. Having to put it so close to the tip of the screw is what bothers me. I hate not being able to see the screw being driven into the wood. Makita makes the best so far. Thanks TRZ
Thanks for the feedback toblox!
i actually got this a few months ago in a set of bits i purchased, I tried it and didnt have it close enough to the screw and figured it was useless and put it away somewhere and now I cant find it lol
Thank you very much for this video 😊
Thanks for sharing this. I gotta get me this tool ASAP.
