It’s time for another Cool Tools review. This time, I’ve got the Makita Impact Gold Ultra Magnetic bit holder. I got mine for around $5 on Amazon, and by using the link in the description to pick one up, you’re helping to support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

A few weeks back I showed you guys this Dewalt right-angle drill adapter with this neat magnetic system for holding your screw in place. Well, I liked the magnetic screw holder so much I went looking for a solid, inexpensive version just for drilling straight-ahead.

There are a bunch out there, but one of the most popular brand name options is this one from Makita. It’s a simple two-part system that uses a metal bit holder that can take these standard, shorter bits. A plastic collar then slips over the holder with an embedded neodymium magnet ring at the tip.

The design leaves just enough room here so that the bit can fit into your screw, while the magnetic collar holds the screw on tight.

This way, instead of your screw dangling precariously from a weak magnetic bit, it feels more like a fixed extension of your drill or impact driver.

It also means that it’s less challenging to get your screw to go in straight. You don’t have to hold the screw in place to get started, which means you can work faster.

The magnetic tip is ideal for flat head drywall screws but it also works with some other rounded types I have. It also works just as well for Torx head screws. And when you want to change out the bit, you just pull off the collar and swap it out.

You can grab the Makita Ultra Magnetic bit holder using the Amazon link in the description, and you can see thousands of reader recommended tools like this at Cool-Tools.org.
