Makita B-35097 Impact Gold Ultra-Magnetic Torsion Insert Bit Holder

Product Information

The high quality steel construction is engineered for increased durability and features a matte nickel surface for best in class corrosion resistance. The magnet on this Makita bit holder is strong, picking up 6 nuts in my test, blowing the Bosch above out of the water. The Mag Boost is great for holding screws to the end of the bit in tight situations and extends reach. When carrying out a bit of DIY, there’s little more exciting than getting the power tools to get the job done right.

You can have offset heads to help you get to those hard-to-reach places, whether working in the house or working on the car. But then I remembered I had the Makita bit holder on my drill, so I waved it over the ground and voila! There’s the plain and straightforward magnetic bit holder, which we all get when a drill set is purchased. The bit holder has a nice and strong magnet, which picked up 8 nuts and was the second strongest of the magnets we tested.The magnet is quite round, admittedly it is smaller than the Bosch but it will still prevent you from getting into tight spots. The small o-ring type retainer spring which holds the bits inside the extension rod collapsed and now it is impossible to remove any bit with hand after inserting them. Impact GOLD® is exclusively designed for use with high-torque impact drivers, and is engineered to last up to 10x longer than standard insert bits and fastening accessories. Each clip can hold up to six bits and have a holder on each side of the drill, meaning you can house a maximum of 12 bits on the drill.

In this article, we’re going to cover the two different types of drill bit holders, those which keep your workspace tidy and organised and those which attach to your drill for added convenience. I chose this as it is a fairly simple and repeatable way to illustrate the different magnetic strengths of these bit holders. The bit holder from Bosch is a bit of a letdown in the magnet department, clocking in at only 3 magnets.It's so strong that I accidentally stuck it to my refrigerator and it took me a good five minutes to pry it off.
