I'm a builder in Southern Oregon. These things work well for driving long screws with one hand, and they can significantly speed up tasks like screwing down decking. They don't last forever: durability is not their strong suit. But worth it anyhow, I'm replacing my old one.

The thing cracked and swallowed a bit. Gar-bahgge. I have a Ryobi cheapo for the last 10 years. I bought this one for a second drill. After 5 days use, using a DeWalt drill, it cracked. As we write on boxes in the office so the cleaning people will pick them up... "Basura"! I sure wish I could change my stars. Skip this accessory.

There are many times when you need a longer magnetic bit tip holder. This one works, but with some of the shorter driver bit inserts, the inserts can fall out between each driven screw. The outer barrel slides over the driver bit and screw, making starting the drive easier. Haven't found a better one yet (Makita or Bosch or ....).

I recently bought one of these and like it a lot.

Sometimes I do end up using two hands to get it started, but not always. This little tool makes driving a screw much easier and saves the skin on your fingers. I seem to be able to drive screws truer and deeper with this gadget. It's worth the money.

I have always had trouble driving in long deck screws. This tool is remarkable, no more wobble, no more dropped screws, no more stripped heads.

I use this bit holder most every time when I need to hold a screw or screwdriver bit, or nut driver, Works great for me. Give it a try, it works great.

This works great for a bit extension. I never have much luck sliding the sleeve to hold the screw on any brand extension. But, if you need and extension it is great quality.

The description is 6 inches but it is only 4.5 inches. The shipping was too expensive to return. If 4.5 inches is okay then I suggest the Makita Usa Inc Retracting Screw Holder 784814A it is exactly the same length and a lot cheaper.

What can I say, when you hang drywall...this is the thing to have. Leaves your other hand free to complete a ground as you drill through a conduit.
