It’s time for another Cool Tool review. This week, we’re looking at a 12-inch bit holder from Irwin. It runs around $9 on Amazon, and by picking one up using the link in the description, you help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

This is a foot-long extension for your drill or impact driver. On one end you have a quick-change style bit that you can pop into your tool. On the other is a bit holder that takes any standard hex bit.

There’s a spring-loaded collar around the bit holder that locks in whatever you’re using. You pull pack to open it up, push in the bit, and let the collar go to lock it in. The same motion shoots it back out.

There’s also a small magnet down in the throat of the bit holder that helps to hold the bit in place.

This is a great way to drill a hole or tighten a screw somewhere inaccessible. So long as it has a hex shank, you can put a drill bit in here, or a spade bit, and make a hole.

You can also put one of those magnetic screw holders on here and dangle a screw out to somewhere hard to reach without it falling off.

You can drop a socket bit in here and tighten up an out of reach nut or bolt.

And for a real neat trick, you can combine this with a right angle adapter and drill hard-to-reach places inside walls.

That’s the Irwin 12-inch bit holder. I suspect the brand isn’t that important, but at around $9 I think this Irwin one is a good name brand value. You can find an Amazon link for this one, plus links to the other adapters I mentioned all in the description here. And remember, you can see thousands of reader recommended tools like this at Cool-Tools.org.
