Can someone point me in the direction of a super-strong magnetic screw-driver, one that accepts standard 1/4-hex bits.

I just want a simple non-ratcheting hex-bit screw-driver that does not have headlights, swivel handle, blue-tooth capability, or any other foolishness.

I do want it to have the magnetic ability to pick up a #4 horse-shoe.


Thus far, I have searched in vain.


Thanks.

 

I seen one the other day that is 3G compatible, tastes great yet has only 35 calories, and still shines the floor better than the leading competitor (So says seven out of ten dentists).

 

You mean like this?: http://www.crawfordtool.com/craw_magnetic.html

Alsho found thish drewscriver, but I dunt think it'sh manetic.

That's exactly what I mean.

I wonder if the magnet is actually as strong as claimed.

I have three or four around here, several years old, that, if you forget and let the tip down, the bit itself will drop out; not much magnetism there.


The local ACE has some of those quik-couple bit-holders, meant to be used in a cordless drill/driver, that will pick up a 24"-Crescent Wrench; the trouble is, though, that big quik-couple end doesn't work very well in close quarters.


Thanks.

 

LoL, shows you what I know. I just assumed you were kidding about it with the horse-shoe comment (with or without the horse attached). The link that chaikwa submitted seems to be pretty good. I have purchased some really good magnets from http://www.google.com/url?q=http://w...K-MRpbemWPfzmQ and they have been helpfull in pointing me in the right direction for some other things.

 

I would trust any tool with the name Klein on it; I have quite a few of them that I use in my work.

Why do you need to pick up a horseshoe with your screwdriver, don’t tell me that you screw them on?

 

Makes for faster pit-stops.

 

How do ya get it off the screw once you screw it into whatever it's being screwed into? ( that's a lot of screws in one sentence)

 

Just don't stuff it in the same pocket as your ATM card. Don't ask...

 

My Snap-On magnetic tip screwdriver is very strong and I have used it many times to pick up dropped hardware and even the occasional small wrench.
It is also great for picking up a bunch of 1" & 2" finishing nails that got dropped in the sand.

 

They make some pretty good under-drawers too; Calvin does anyway.

No, I use Capewell Regular Head #5s and nail them on.

I would just like to be able to poke a screw back in somewhere that I can't get my fingers, and the screw still be on the driver, instead of falling in my face.



That or a Klein looks like it would fit the bill.

I may also look into some really strong rare-earth magnets to put in the drivers I already have; I just don't ever see them quite that small.



Thanks.

 

Gotta admit, that was pretty good! Not in the least bit helpful but good

I would make one. Go to Ebay or to you local hardware store and purchase some neodymium magnets. ( I got 10 in a package, about 1/4" dia. X 3/16" tall for like $4). Drill out the handle of the screwdriver, insert the magnets, maybe JB weld to hold them.

You can go online and find some that will pick up 300 pounds. They just won't compliment your screw driver very well.
