Is the bit end magnetic?

I don't know since the thing is deformed and a 1/4 bit will not fit in it, that was the reason I bought it in the first place.

No, it is not magnetic. However, there are spring-like "grabbers" down in the chuck that hold the bits in place very securely...they do not fall out.

No, the tool itself is not magnetized. Perhaps you could use magnetic bits with the tool, but the tool does not come with the bits or sockets.

The driver shank pulls free from the handle and is reversible. One side is able to receive double sided 5/16" screwdriver bits. The other has a 3/8" reversible adapter that accepts 1/4" double sided bits on each end. Note: This driver is not magnetized. All bits must have tension bearings to stay in place... Damn annoying. Thoughts: I'm close to jbwelding the adapter in place, then jbwelding a standard magnetized bit tip holder in that, BUT, to still be able to reverse the shank, I'd have to cut a total of 3/4" out between the adapter and the bit receiver... It would be close, and you couldn't reverse it with a bit in the receiver. Wish this took standard tips. I WISH I'D BOUGHT: Bahco 808050, or the real Snap On ratcheting screwdriver (item SSDMR4BO)

The kit does not contain a magnetic screw bit but those can be bought at your local box store or here at http://amazon.com. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas!

Mine are! I have no idea if all these kits have magnetic tips but mine does on all the screwdrivers!

Yes, it is magnetized. It will stick to any symmetrical end-surface properly as long as that surface is ferrous. If you don't mind that much money for a little convenience, it will work for your application.

The tips no, but the handle (tip holder) is. Initially the tips seem "dead" but when you drop one into the holder it immediately picks up the magnetic pull from the handle (and remains magnetized after you remove it). Well over half of my tips are now magnetized. Screws, small nuts, and that other little thing you always seem to drop are easily picked up.

Yes. It also has a fairly strong magnetic closure. It's very nice for the price.

Yes and No. One of the nut drivers is the correct size for standard bits, but there isn't magnet to keep in place. It would work in a pinch, but not intended to used other bits. Still a great tool though, I own two.

No, this screwdriver set does not have magnetic tips. I sure wish they did.Good luck ghost.Jim.

That's a good Q. I wondered the same. Even if it is a bit magnetized, I don't think it should make any difference. How about turning it around regularly ?? Or flip it over ....?? Stev

No. It has a long and short flathead screw driver and a Phillips but no bit driver.

No. However, I have a magnetic bit from another set that fit perfectly, due to the universal size.

Can't answer your question about the electronics but I will tell you that this is one STRONG magnet. Takes two hands to pull off my tool box.

As previous reply indicates, it doesn't appear so. However the slot for the thumb screw on the end has a socket that accepts any standard hex shaped bit. You just need to fully unscrew the thumb screw to make it accessible.

No. Since the board is aluminum and aluminum is not magnetic, the board is not magnetic.

Yes it does have a magnet on the bottom. A very strong one at that! I use it to capture small screws when I repair laptops and printers. Saves me from searching for screws on the floor. Hope this helps! :)

Hi Barbara. The bit on top is magnetic fixed. The other spare bits, are exposed when you put and pull the removed one on the back of the desired bit hole. It's very simple and easy.
