Are the bits magnetized? Will it hold the screws?If not, any sets that do have this?

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.

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.

Yes...a high quality set..not magnetic. You do 2 screwdrivers that are for electritcians..they have a head that you probably won't use.That asideIt is a very nice set.

The screw driver bit holder is magnetic, but it didn't seem to magnetize the bits to much.

Yes they are magnetized. I disagree with the answer from Goebel above. Maybe he got a bad batch.

It doesn't. That is what I was looking for when I bought this and I typed in magnetic but I sure can't tell that it is, if it is. But yesterday this screwdriver saved me. I was putting an old door back up and stripped the screw with my drill so I got out this new Philips head and it caught and held on all the screws so, I'd say get it anyway!

No this set is not magnetic.The pieces attach via pegs to a perforated plastic board that sits horizontally. I know two three year old gorls who love it!

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

While it comes with a mat (paper) to place the screws, etc. as you remove them, it is not magnetic.

The bits appear to be pressed into the sockets They are not welded. There are no set screws. The bits are not removable although you may be able to drive them out if you had to. I hope this helped you.

No, they are smaller and shorter than standard bits, and snap-in neatly with the magnet in the base.

The tools work very well, but are not magnetized. However they are easily magnetized by rubbing them on any magnet for a few seconds prior to use. You may have to do this every few screws, but very easy. Hope this helps. Rick M.

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!

They have slight magnetization. they will pick up small screws through magnetism. Best set of German made screwdrivers for the price online! getting a second set =D

Amazon has a variety of magnetic bit holders. I suggest a 1.5 or 2 inch length for general use. The Hitachi is an excellent too that comes with a bit, but not a magnetic holder.

They are not magnetic. The round parts of the pieces fits into round holes in the board. They will fall out if you tip the board over.
