I currently have another screwdriver set and the bits always fall out of the handle. Does this set have this issue?

No. This set actually has an outstanding magnetic hold of its bits along with the screws you unscrew as long as you use it for metal screws. Also, the smaller bit driver has ball bearings inside of its socket which spring out and hold the bits very well. I highly recommend this set which I've found plenty of use for if you enjoy tinkering like I do with electronics such as computers; cars; putting together furniture; you name it. Hope this helps.

The bit holder in the handle is magnetic so it holds the bits very securely. Even if it weren't magnetic, it's made so snugly that it's unlikely the bits could fall out easily.

I found the magnetic retention to be weak, so I re-magnetized the whole shaft that extrudes from the handle...it is not difficult to do - search Amazon for magnetizer.

No, the set I purchased has a tight fit on all bits and accessories included. It has really become my go-to kit for all sorts of d.i.y. projects!

The screwdriver tip has never "stripped" when I've used it, where as the other kinds in those clear and black backed boxes have, but I'm very careful that I use less pressure than a full-sized screwdriver. I have used them for so many items: clocks, eyeglasses, toys, computer this & that, and poking a hole in cake to see if it was done. You'll wonder why you didn't get them before. If they are on special, get two! Not: the handles are heavy plastic.

That would not concern me. Mine does too. A lot of slotted tools that take bits do that, but if you're holding it upside down and the bit is falling out without touching it, your bit-extender is probably the problem and it's not retaining the bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be critical if there is some movement.

No I have not used the drill bit set but I have used the B&D Electric screwdriver # PD400LG. What is your question?

The sleeves that hold the bits count. So do the sleeves within the sleeves( they are slightly different sizes that can be used as nut drivers). There isn't anymore bits within the handle.

Hi PD, have you tried adjusting the center bit with the included Allen wrench? Also what seems to be the problem?

Sorry, no bit holder, just loose bits. I got mine to replace the tiny screwdrivers.

There is a cap on the end of the handle that you unscrew. You can also replace the stock bits with others if you have specialized bits that you use on a regular basis.

No screw driver bits in this set. There are multiple bits for often used sizes, which is great.

This is a driver set. You use a drill or cordless screwdriver; there IS an included bit holder for the drill (magnetic). If you don't need a handle, this is the best driver set I've found for electronics work. If you do need one, look to a few of Wiha's other interchangeable sets. I've had them for years, some of the toughest bits on the planet.

Well if they fit into the driver absolutely, I even use the driver as an extension for my drill I just take out the plastic holder. I also use different bits other than the ones that came with it

Are you using a bit holder such as a Bosch CC60483? Also, if you're completely new to these sort of drivers you might be unaware that you need to pull the locking collar out slightly to allow the drivers and bits to seat properly and lock in

I assume that there are pre-drilled holes in which case, this would be fine. This screwdriver does not have enough torque for a heavy requirement. Personally, I would look into a screwdriver with more torque. Then you won't be disappointed.

Yes, I have been working on computers for many years and this is my favorite kit ever! They are much more comfortable in your hands than many other small screwdriver sets. I also buy some small magnets because sometimes the laptop case screws dont want to come out easily and having a small magnet stuck to the screwdriver gives it a little help getting screws out. Obviously take that magnet off once you are down to the motherboard.

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

The bits (rasps or needles) are removable from the handles so they can be replaced, or interchanged with other bits. They are held in the handles with allen head set screws. The allen wrench is to loosen/tighten the set screws.
