The magnetic Screwlock sleeve has two spring-loaded ball bearings that allow it to slide onto the new Dewalt FlexTorq reduced shank bits. Once the sleeve moves past the screwdriver bit tip, it is retained by the bit and can slide freely along the reduced shank, giving it a little room for adjustability.
Do magnetic bit holders hold screws?
The Magnetic Bit Holder
A small magnet also prevents the bit from dropping out. Another advantage of the bit holder is that standard steel screws (not stainless) are also magnetised and will ‘stick’ to the end of the bit; a feature that’s particularly useful when working in confined spaces.

Instead of buying new sets of magnetic tipped screwdrivers, you can magnetize your existing screwdriver using a rare earth magnet or any other large magnet. Simply brush the end of your screwdriver across the magnet a few times, and voila, you’ve magnetized it!
What is a screw Guide?
The screw-guide sleeve retracts as the fastener is driven into the workpiece. Using a guide reduces slipping and wobbling of fasteners, so they drive in faster and straighter. Rare earth magnet is 4 times more powerful than standard magnets and holds fasteners securely in the guide.
