MakitaE-01345 Impact XPS™ Mag Boost

I've tried a lot of different magnetic bit holders or the ones like this that go on the bit directly, by most major brands and several cheaper no name brands. This is by far the best one for the money that I've tried! I liked the first one so much I bought another one, and will probably order another one here soon. The magnet is strong, it stays on the bits bouncing around hanging on my tool bag all day. It does fit on numerous different bits, in the pics are a dewalt Sq2 and T27 and then it fits the GRK T25 and gets a little snug on the T40.It definitely is worth the purchase, you will not be disappointed. I wish they would sell a 5 or a 10 pack of them.

I think this is a good value for what it costs, and anyone who has had to deal with screws of the associated bits falling off. I used this recently with Diablo brand driver bits and it was easy to use. Even if the bit doesn't fit snuggly, as when I tried using this with a generic bit, it still created the magnetic pull that kept the wood screw on the tip. After one project I determined that it's a good value for price and for the time I didn't waste picking up screws that fell.

Does what it's sposeta. The only change I'd make is to have the color more day-glow so it's harder to ignore when I'm packing up.

This is extremely helpful when doing drywall and any other project where you are by your self. It seems to work pretty well at holding a screw in place when i'm only using one hand. It can be a bit annoying when it catches on something and tries to come off. this works really well in open spaces where you can get to everything easy. it doesn't make whatever you are using any bulkier because it is pretty small. For what it is and how cheap it is this is an great buy would buy again.

Very good at holding fasteners on bits or drivers. Small doesn't get in the way.

Strong magnet, works very well.

Unlike their previous Mag Booster, the plastic one that is awesome, this is terrible. Really, don't even bother.First most bits won't even fit into it. It doesn't have the standard hex shank hole, rather it has 3 detents in a pretty small hole. I struggle to find a bit that will even make it past the detents.Next, they don't grip well on long bits. When they do fit, the center of gravity is off and it causes a terrible wobble during driving. The detents will only work on a shank, and long impact bits are tending to go slim in the middle.While they grip a short bit (the shank is in the right spot), not enough of the shank will be left for the tool or bit holder. See pic.My pics show makita impact golds, makita impact xps, and milwaukee shockwave bits. If you can't fit these, you are missing out on your own customers & a lot of pros.The exit hole is also very small. I think the intention is to only let a small part of the bit emerge, keeping the magnet close to the fastener. But its REALLY small, so the bit doesn't fully sit into many fasteners.I tried to look for product videos, to see what they were intending, but I can't find anything worthwhile. The new XPS bits are so good, but then they throw in this piece of garbage. Makita, what were you thinking?

Still best one I can find but would like it stronger. So I may try 2 on a longer bit
