Is it magnetic where the bits are inserted?

It doesn't seem to be magnetic where the bits are inserted. However, the bits stay in the ratchet driver very well.

I don't usually place anything with magnetic strips, hence any magnetic field can potentially demagnetize credit cards, etc.

Bits are never magnetized. The holders can be but in the screwdriver that I have they are not

No, they are not. I have never had any multi screwdriver that has magnetized bits. Sounds like a good idea though. I also find that these bits don't stay in the tool as well as other screwdrivers of this type.

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.

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.

I cannot recall if they are magnetized. But, they didn't work well for me. Got I screw out but not the other.

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.

I have never seen a bit set where the bits themselves are magnetic. Why make them magnetic (very expensive) when you can just make the bit holder magnetic? And that is what the set includes; a magnetic bit holder.... which is what the description tells you. The shiny bit holder on the bottom left side of the case is the magnetic holder.

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, there is no magnet. The bits are held in with recessed balls with a spring, which holds the bits in strongly, but does not help with screws. The bits are well machined, however, so I find most screws (like computer rack screws) will sit well on the bit up to almost completely horizontal.

no they are not. I dont know if they can be, a mechanic I know ran a magnet in a circle in the middle to magnatize my screw driver bit. You should look that up on the internet as how to or call Black and Decker if they have them, magnetic bits are worth it.

The bits are not magnetic, but having all the different types of bits and the 1/4, 5/6 & 3/8 nut driver sizes, plus the ratcheting makes it a most have.

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.

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...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.

Yes, it's magnetic. I've never had it open as long as nothing is forcing it open.
