A 3-piece Magnetic Swiveling Bit Holder Set represents a necessary piece of equipment in todays workshop. It was created to help eliminate the biggest frustration when working with fasteners and assemblies: getting to a screw in a restricted area (obstructed), or at an odd angle. There are 3 different sizes; 1/4″, 5/16″, & 3/8″. These provide a full range of standard fastening/drilling operations. With a deep engine bay, in the confines of cabinetry, or in a structural frame with many obstructions - these extenders will convert your basic power tool into a flexible operating system.
Each of these extenders has a Heavy Duty 1/4″ Hex Shank. So, regardless of the type of chuck you use or what style of heavy duty driver you are using, changing from one to another is easy.
What makes this kit so unique is the two way swivel function. Each extender can rotate +/-20°. Therefore, if there is something in front of where you want to operate - you can turn the extender to get around it. Also, because of this ability to swivel - the chance of stripping the head of a screw by forcing a right angle tool into a left angle space is eliminated. And while the extender is rotating, if you simply push it down further - it will become stiff and hold the same direction as the tool shaft. This flexibility / stiffness ability gives users what they need at any given time.
In addition to their flexibility, these extenders were made to handle the high-torque, high-impact forces generated by todays impact wrenches. Made from Chrome Vanadium or S2 Tool Steel - these extenders are able to absorb high levels of shock loads without failing. Additionally, inside the hex socket, each extender includes a very strong permanent Rare Earth Magnet. Not only does the magnet secure the inserted bit into the extender so that it would not fall out - but also magnetize the screw head so that the screw stays securely attached to the end of your tool. A securely held screw is important whether you are standing on a ladder or trying to balance on a beam while holding onto some large materials.
By having three precise sizes available - you can ensure that you always have the correct length for your application. And because the less play - the greater amount of torque transferred to the fastener - you will experience better performance. The 1/4″ extender is used for all general fastening applications and will accept most types of screwdriver bits including: Philips, TorqX and Slotted. When larger fasteners are required - such as for heavy structural members etc., then the 5/16″ and 3/8″ extenders take over. Using three specific sizes for their intended uses will greatly reduce wear and tear on the tools as well as prevent damage caused by attempting to use a wrong size for an application.
Investing in a three-piece magnetic swiveling bit holder set is a commitment to productivity, safety and quality. The ability to adapt your tool to reach those hard-to-reach places saves time that would normally be spent manually ratcheting or removing objects in order to access a single fastener. The combination of durable construction and reliability (magnetic retention) along with smooth swiveling motion ensures that these extenders will perform well even under extreme job-site conditions.
