Are the bits magnetic themselves? For example, to pull screws out of deep holes.

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

Yes, but they are only slightly magnetic. They help hold the screw in place while you screw it in, but I don't think you could use it if there was any resistance.

Just the main philips and pentalboe screwdrivers.. and poorly at that. None of the bits are magnetized though. I'd complain but it didn't cost hardly anything.

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

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

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

It't not magnetic . Just slide the bit in and it locked. To remove bit just pull the sleeve down and slide tool out. It's a great tool

No, I'm sorry. But if you rub the end of them on a magnet, it does "help" with picking up/holding onto screws etc for a few moments...

The screwdrivers are not magnetic. There is a telescopic magnet in the kit though.

some of the sets are an some are not,look close at the tool it should say,magnetic,i bought both sets

No they are not magnetic. They specifically fit in the mechanism which makes them "speak".

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.

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit.No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

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!

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.

I've only used them for 'lightweight' electronics work. Stripping a screwdriver tip usually means that the tip size didn't match the screw. It would have been nice if the tips were magnetic though. They're not.

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.

The center bit is magnetic. Remove center bit, push bit removed from center, push into the bit hole you need. One bit in, one bit out
