are the bits magnetic ?

The screwdriver bits are not -- my socket bits are slightly magnetic - they will pickup a standard paperclip.

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.

I don't believe so. I threw the packaging away......but I don't remember it mentioning magnets.

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.

Bits are only residual magnetism from being on the magnet in the driver. That will wear off fairly soon.

The bit holder in the handle is magnetic so it holds the bits very securely. Even if it weren't magnetic, it's made so snugly that it's unlikely the bits could fall out easily.

If you are asking if the screw bits are magnetized to hold the screws for positioning, they are not magnetized and that is too bad. It would be a good improvement.

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.

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.

They are not. But you could magnetize them very easily by rubbing a magnet in one direction along their length. About ten passes should do it.

Yes all thee have magnets. The magnets are quite strong. I've been pleased with the set.

Not magnetic but does hold the bit even before the lock engages. Pull collar to release instead of pushing like many other holders, much easier for single handed operation.

I keep a small (~4mm dia) neodymium magnet attached to the bit receptacle barrel; very strong so won't fling off, & magnetizes any bit inserted. Also helps keep any loose bit from falling out during vertical use.

Mine are! I have no idea if all these kits have magnetic tips but mine does on all the screwdrivers!

No the pans are NOT magnetic. Sorry so long for the reply. Hope this helps.

Bit holder is not magnetic, it has a built in spring which causes it to lock onto the bits.

No they are not. Wished they had been. It would help to get screws out of deep recesses. But they did the job I needed them to do, and as inexpensive as they were, expecting magnetized tips would be wishful thinking. Decent set.

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.
