Are the screw driver tips magnetic?

No but the Phillips screws seam to stay on the tips fairly good. You could put a small refrigerator magnet close to the end of the screwdriver and it will hold the screw.

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

These do not have a magnet built in, but a magnetic socket/extension will indeed "stick" to these adapters. In other words, they are made from a ferrous (iron) material that a magnet is drawn to.

Do it on a clear head, no rushing, keep good track of your screws and you will be ok. Youtube videos online did it for me...I would advise magnetic screwdriver set. I did mine in 30 minutes...first time ever.

No. The bits are steel and can be magnetized easily or you can purchase the magnetized bits separately (see one of the other answers). I have a few hand powered screwdrivers with magnets in the bit holder that work pretty well as long as you use steel bits of course but this driver doesn't have that. Most of the hardware I use this on is stainless steel anyway so a magnet wouldn't help me. If you have a magnet handy, a couple of strokes on a steel bit will magnetize it enough to hold hardware for you.

They have several (estimating 20) magnetic tips in many different sizes and types, cross tip, common, some allen, and more with a 1/4 inch handle. The handle is the plus in this set as it is a decent tool, all the tips are cheap garbage.

It isn't possible to answer your question without knowing the size of the magnet you would like to use! However, personally wouldn't bother. Just put a dab of gun grease on the screw and it'll stick in the driver. Wipe off the excess when done. Easy!

The individual bits are not magnetic. The 1/4' and 5/16" adapters, the bit extender, and of course the magnetic screw holder are. If you use any of these (except the 5/16" adapter) with the bits, then the bits will exhibit magnetic characteristics as well.

No. I wish they were. I took a magnet to mine and was able to provide a weak magnetic field to it though that was adequate enough to hold small screws in place until they seated.

no, I had to return it. The screw is in the wrong place. I haven't gotten another one yet but have been looking and will most likely go with one that has a glue on magnetic strip. I haven't found any that appear that they will fit right with the screw in option.

No, it is not magnetic. The bits are held firmly by a flat spring just as in the socket of the tool.

The tools work very well, but are not magnetized. However they are easily magnetized by rubbing them on any magnet for a few seconds prior to use. You may have to do this every few screws, but very easy. Hope this helps. Rick M.

No but their is s way put your screwdriver on a magnet pad or you can use a speaker magnet and that will help you

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.

This driver is not magnetic, but it does lock the tip into itself. You need to pull the black "ring" (around the tip) as you pull the bit, to get it out.

Yes. The tip of the file serves as a 2-D phillips screw driver, and perhaps a precision flathead screw driver for some applications.

Yes and No. One of the nut drivers is the correct size for standard bits, but there isn't magnet to keep in place. It would work in a pinch, but not intended to used other bits. Still a great tool though, I own two.
