How is the bit held in is it magnetic or is there a snap ring inside shaft ?

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.

It is the housing which holds the magnet in place which magnatzes the bit so screws will stay attached in tight places. I dont know why its loose, mine is too. Must be how its designed

It has a magnetic hex-style chuck, much like impact drivers. Just don't buy it though, its not worth it. It'll just break.

No, it has a mechanical snap. I also just cheched, there are no magnets anywhere else in the case.

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 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!

It is a spring loaded quick change system for bits with a power groove. Or you can buy a Rockwell regular round drill bit hand chuck head. to grab anything.

The included bit holder is not magnetic. You could add one for about $5. DEWALT DW2054 1/4-Inch Compact Magnetic Bit Tip Holder

No. However, I have a magnetic bit from another set that fit perfectly, due to the universal size.

DWARA100 had a magnetic piece that surrounds the bit and can slide out to make contact with the fastener head, keeping the fastener on the bit tip. The magnetic piece is attached to the black plastic visible near the inside of the right angle of the tool. DWARA50 does not have this magnetic piece. Also, the magnetic piece doesn't quite reach the fastener head for #8 or smaller screws.

It is made of hard plastic like the case. To hold all 29 bits, there are 3 index that swing open using the same hinge as the case cover. I should add that these bits perform amazingly in wood, plastic, and steel.

It has a 1/4 inch hex tip mail that will lock into any standard impact or drill. The other end has a 1/4 spring loaded locking hex female to hold any of your 1/4" bits. I have 3 sizes and find them very handy. If they ever wear out I would definitely replace them. I have had them about a year and a half and use them at least once a week. It's a keeper and really quite cheap.

There is a keyless chuck. The front portion of the drill where the bit is loaded can be opened and closed by hand. You place the bit in the opening for the bit, then turn the chuck by hand, which tightens onto the drill bit and holds it in place.

Pull the small ring in the front all theway forwrd and hold while you remove the bit

I use Wiha Tools - Magnetizer/Demagnetizer Tool Magnetizer/Demagnetizer to magnetize which ever bit I am using. This works great for me, especially really small screws that is hard to hold.

It's an all-metal chuck with carbide (machine steel) toothed inserts for actual tool contact. Rather than a continuously ratcheting close, you tighten the chuck down on the tool, and the chuck cams over to a locked position. (Although ratcheting gives you nice feedback about the tightening process, it doesn't necessarily give you a yes/no on when you are truly locked.) Once you've cam-locked, it's neither possible nor necessary to tighten the chuck any further. I have never actually measured the run-out, but it is at least as good as any other drill I have used. A properly seated drill bit, when spun at high speeds, shows a nice narrow profile, with no sign of tip wobble. (This is of course not a really scientific test, as it depends on things like the user's eyesight, etc.) I worry about run-out too, but with a hand-held drill of this quality, the quality of drilling will probably depend at least as much on the operator's ability to hold the tool perfectly steady and drive in a perfectly straight path.

Hold the little button and turn the black part counter clockwise insert the bit and turn clockwise until you hear a click and it will be secured
