Did I get a faulty set or am I doing something wrong? The bits won't stay in the screwdriver. They fall right out.

My bits don't just fall out, but are easy to pull out, there is a little ball bearing that hold them in, are you missing yours or is it stuck out?

I had the same problem. Luckily I don't use it a lot or I would have returned it.

I will be home in about 15 minutes and I will check to see if I can help you with this issue...

Must be faulty; contact Olympia Tools customer service and they'll send you a new handle. They did for me.

Just went out and tested mine. Both items you report as faulty work fine on my tool box.

Don't know, all I have ever used are drill bits and these are the best, I broke one the other day but, that was my fault, wasn't holding the drill right which put the bit in a bind and in turn broke the bit, great set of bits! I would recommend them anytime!

I don't know, but so far, after a couple months, mine are good. Maybe your set is defective. Try for an exchange.

I had the same problem. What I found was it has to be perfectly straight in line and go slow. If I went to fast I had to use another drill to drive the screws all the way in. Also the drill bit does not always stay locked into place on mine.

Simplest answer is your drill probably runs at too low RPM, try a faster drill befroe changing bits.

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.

Now that you mention it, it was in there pretty tight. I did use the correct type of screwdriver to eventually open. Im looking at the screw that was rremoved and its stripped. I guess I will tread lightly next time the screw needs to be undone. This sounds like its a defect overall in the product workmanship. Good luck.

If anything, I have difficulty removing them. Once they snap/click into place, they're in there really tightly. Make sure you push them in well. When I first got mine I thought I had them in all the way, but didn't, and they fell out. You'll feel them click into place.

I had the same issue and had to go out and buy a cheap set of torx to get it out. Not easy to get the screws out without stripping them either.

Send it back and get a replacement set. Amazon should be able to help you there.

Perhaps there are different variations of this set being sold on Amazon under the same listing, because my set (bought from this listing) has 3 torx drivers (the star shaped screwdriver) and the two largest drivers DO in fact have holes in the middle. I can take and add a photo if you would like (just ask).

Assuming you're using the bits that came with drill, they all fit. Did you try opening the top, using the releaser (button on the silver part) and twisting the ridged dial? That will open the top so you can adjust to the stem of the bit... Make sure to secure it tight so it doesn't fly off or get loose during use.

Funny you should ask. I was just using the screwdriver. The length depends on which bit you use. The flat screwdriver sticks out 1.25". There are 2 on each bit. The other end of the flat screwdriver is a phillips which is 1.5". They work so great!

If you haven't already, double check your installation -- that they are correct cartridges in correct spots. Perhaps you have dud cartridges. Try exchanging them for a new set. We have replaced our cartridges with no problem.

Sounds like they are defective. You should return them as defective and get a new set.
