Is there a locking colar to keep the bits in place? If not, does the ratchet hold the bits in place well? Thank you.

The bits are held in place by a magnet in the handle. The handle actually has two places where you can use bits. There is a fixed, non-ratcheting magnet on the longer end of the handle (the end of the handle closest to the "T" in Dewalt), and then the silver ratcheting collar also has a magnet for bits. You can use the ratchet feature in forward, reverse and neutral by rotating the silver ratchet collar.

I believe so, but I don't have it around right now to check. It is a pretty solid tool. I use it for work that needs to have a good base to dismantle projects. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It doesn't have a locking collar but it does hold the bits in very securely. It is magnetized so when the bits stay in place until you pull them out. It's a great tool.

Wouldn't it be nice if it had a place to keep the bit you're not using attached to the drill?

There is not a built in shaft / rotation lock.The shaft is held by one wrench (supplied) and then the collet nut is loosened with a 2nd wrench (supplied)

The various screwdriver bits are stored on a plastic carrier tree which is hidden inside the handle. When you need to use one, remove the carrier from the driver handle, place the adaptor socket on the drive end of the tool, and place the desired blade / tip into the adaptor. Then you have all the functions of the tool at your hand. The ratchet can be used with each one of the tips on the carrier tree as needed. Same for allof the SAE and metric sockets. I've had my Nebo for about six months and still find it to be the handiest socket set ever!

Yes, the ratchet is provided as well as several bits. Unfortunately I dont have my SwissTool with me as it was stolen sometime ago. I replaced it with a Victorinox Swiss Army Workchamp Xl (Red)

No they stay in just fine. The holder is designed to pinch the bottom of the shank and hold the drill bit in place.

No. No bits or attachments, just the tool. However, it fits standard 1/4 inch sockets on one side and hex-drive bits on the other.

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

I've had this for awhile and I don't think there's a lock I just insert the bit and use

Yes the driver does ratchet. It does not however handle higher torque applications, at all. The bits are a soft tool steel compared to some others I've had.

it shouldn't be too stiff. i've never had a problem pulling the bit out. Perhaps your release is stuck? When you press on the area with the 5 grooves, the area near the bit should lift off a little showing that it's unlocked/released.

A collar is necessary, pull the collar back and insert the bit, The bit should lock right in place.

Sorry it took so long to respond. But the head of the ratchet does lock as a regular ratchet does. Enabling you to loosen up tighter bolts. Normally I use a breaker bar on most really tight bolts then I finish with the cordless ratchet.

It attaches to the phillips head driver in my Rebar. The bits go in the other end. I only used this a few times and have not had bits fall off or have the driver falling off the tool. I even used it with the bit extension driver with no problems.

Yes, the chuck closes fully. I've had no problem using extremely small bits.

The index that holds the bits is a hard plastic.Read my review - For your safety, unless you only drill wood these are too aggressive a cut and they tend to grab the work piece and can twist it in your hands.

There seems to be a little bit of magnetic pull but not much. I would take care when working with bits in tight spaces there is a chance that bits will pull out! It has happen to me so use with care. It also depends on the bit set you are using some are a tighter fit then others! So use accordingly.
