Customer Reviews for Hilti 2 in. Magnetic Bit Holder

Just stopped by for a quick review on the way to buy a couple more. I guess I should start by mentioning that this driver is not the one pictured. It's actually better. It uses 2 retention mechanisms - a clip and a strong neodymium magnet which work together to hold bits extremely well. The inner diameter also appears to be machined and offset slightly to discourage corner wear. The logo on the outside of the bit holder is actually roll stamped instead of printed like the one in the picture if that matters to you. Attention to detail and value are high here. They aren't the bit holders around, but they might be the best. I'm going to be using these whenever possible from now on.

I like the shorter size for better control, the magnet is good too.

excellent tool. holds bit very well, very seldom does the bit pull out of this holder.

I thought this was a 2" extension from the end of the chuck - it's a 2" extension including shank! So in reality a 1" extension. Still give it five stars for typically good european craftmanship and fine magnetic conductivity. One star for Home Depot's poor description.

Nice and small. Good for tight space. It has a strong magnet to hold a bit. Really useful for tight space.

Was great showed up early

The bit holder jammed up somehow and I couldn't remove a bit from the end even with pliers. It only survived 3 months of occasional use.

Great small size. Sturdy. Strong magnet.

I purchased this to use specifically in the Ryobi drywall screw gun. The holder that came with the Ryobi does not have a strong enough magnet to hold screws. I purchased a 2 1/8" bit holder from another big box store that said it was magnetic, but it also failed to hold a screw at the tip of the gun. This one fit the drill and the magnet is strong. The screw will stay on the bit even when the gun is upside down. You can load a screw, hang your gun in your tool belt, use both hands to get the board up & then screw it off.

Super easy and hasslefree just pick up and go!

Reasonably strong magnet given it's small size. Doesn't stick out too far. Only improvement I'd make is a locking slide collar to keep bit from being dislodged from accidental side torque.

Very simple but quite effective. I use this for a 12v DeWault kit I recently purchased. This is the best quick change bit holder I've used in any of my drills. Very happy

Fit flawlessly for the tool it was designed for.

It cost a little more, but works great. Better than most magnetic things.

Great Bit holder with a strong magnet. This is the 2 inch magnetic bit holder I was looking for. It’s total length is just under 2 inches. It is a bit pricey, but it appears to be a quality product. I have not yet used it to drive screws in my impact driver. I can remove bits with my thumb and index finger for quick bit changes. I tested the magnet with a #2 square drive bit (2" bit) and an 8x1 1/2" Pocket hole screw. The magnet holds the screw through the bit in both the horizontal and straight down position. The hold held up to MILD shaking in the straight down and horizontal positions. The hold in all positions held up even when I added a 1/8x1 inch Fender Washer. Occasionally, the Fender Washer was dropped with MILD shaking in the down position. The washer also frequently fell to the bottom of the screw in the down position. When I used a worn 1" T25 bit with a 9x2-1/2" screw, the magnetic hold was weaker. Screws held in both the horizontal and straight down position. The horizontal position posed the greater hold challenge. There was noticeable sagging in the horizontal position. MILD movement often caused the screw to unseat from the bit, but the magnet still held the dangling screw to the bit. When I used the worn 1" T25 bit with a 9x3" screw made by a different vendor, the hold seemed better than the 9x2 1/2" screw. Apparently. the fit of the bit to the screw or the iron content of both the screw and the bit matters. When I used a 1 inch PH2 bit, I was very pleased with the results. A 1 ¼ inch drywall screw remained seated with MILD shaking in all positions. A 1 ½ inch galvanized wood screw remained seated in all positions. MILD shaking sometimes caused the 1 ½ inch galvanized wood screw to drop to the floor.

Very well made. String magnet to hold on the bits. I use it on an impact driver.
