is it magnetic to hold screws?

No, you would have to buy a Magnetic Screwdriver Bit Holder (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct;=j&q;=&esrc;=s&source;=images&cd;=&cad;=rja&docid;=nSIeUdOEr-3-GM&tbnid;=reipAAcA1RzX9M:&ved;=0CAUQjRw&url;=http%3A%2F%2Ftoolguyd.com%2Fmakita-impact-gold-screwdriver-bit-set-review%2F&ei;=3rUCU5rWIILBoATU24DoCQ&bvm;=bv.61535280,d.cGU&psig;=AFQjCNGLkQaPOMGwWGKgq3lV7HGeC9wEdg&ust;=1392772953894527) This link will show you a picture of it are google the phrase " Magnetic Screwdriver Bit Holder"

No. The bits are steel and can be magnetized easily or you can purchase the magnetized bits separately (see one of the other answers). I have a few hand powered screwdrivers with magnets in the bit holder that work pretty well as long as you use steel bits of course but this driver doesn't have that. Most of the hardware I use this on is stainless steel anyway so a magnet wouldn't help me. If you have a magnet handy, a couple of strokes on a steel bit will magnetize it enough to hold hardware for you.

No because the magnet goes in the tip, not in the equipment. When you purchase tips ,ask the attendant to help you . The equipment locks the tips when you insert them. Its very versatile and powerful pice of equipment.NOEL

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

No, it's not magnetic. It's metal. The magnets you stick to it are magnetic. If the locker was magnetic, it would be scary all the tools flying towards it in my garage.

The included bit holder is not magnetic. You could add one for about $5. DEWALT DW2054 1/4-Inch Compact Magnetic Bit Tip Holder

No, the steel is not magnetic. you would have to find another solution to your idea.

I would go with the handle rather than just the magnets. The handle has felt pads that glide over the wall very smoothly. When it finds a drywall screw, you can mark it with a pice of blue tape and re-use the magnet to find the next screw.

I don't think so, unless you have some REALLY strong double sided tape. We used screws, and that magnet really grips when taking a knife off.

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.

Yes the bottom is magnetized. Handy tray. Used it while working on my car - kept track of all my screws.

If you want to get the best performance then use the screws. If you use double sided tape, magnets probably won't be held properly and your cabinet won't be secure at all.

Not magnetic itself but I don't know if it will stick to a magnet. I wouldn't think so-I think it may be aluminum.

The individual bits are not magnetic. The 1/4' and 5/16" adapters, the bit extender, and of course the magnetic screw holder are. If you use any of these (except the 5/16" adapter) with the bits, then the bits will exhibit magnetic characteristics as well.

No, this doesn't have magnets to mount. It has a hole on each side and screws to attach it to a surface.

No, I'm sorry. But if you rub the end of them on a magnet, it does "help" with picking up/holding onto screws etc for a few moments...

no, it's not magnetic. You need to mount it to the wall. However, I sticked it to the wall with 3M adhesive tapes (strong one) because I didn't want to mount -_-; though It holds very well. Many of my friend say this is very unique and pretty in my kitchen. You won't be disappointed.

No they are not magnetic.They are meant to use on the base that comes with the set.

You can use the two magnets on the bottom (with the clamp screw turned in) or with just the clamp screw if you want to clamp to the edge of a counter or table top. I can't vouch for the magnet strength as I have a granite work surface, but they attract the utensils quite good!
