Are the bits held in securely? Is the holder magnetized or do the bits snap in?

with a magnet, but I haven't had any trouble. The battery is amazing and had tons of power

the bits were fine, the problem was with the buttons (switch left/right) that got loose and wouldn't respond anymore.

The bits come in a separate holder. I would not spend the money on this. The chuck is horrible and doesn't hold very well. Go get a decent one at a hobby shop.

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.

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 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 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.

You can temporarily magnetize the bits yourself. Just get a strong magnet and stroke the bit across the magnet in the same direction several times. Repeat whenever the magnetism gets weak.

Just purchased one yesterday and yes, there was a bit in the bit holder. Hard to notice but it was there.

They come in a plastic pouch with individual slots for each bit and a fold over plastic cover which snaps to the back of the pouch.This will be fine for short term use (several years). I tend to buy and use things for a lifetime and will eventually have to replace the pouch.

Just loose bits and it's basically the same bits twice. I needed it because I had lost a couple and this was the only way I could find replacements. No bit holder but I still had mine from the original leatherman.

As the other 2 responses point out there is a release on the bit holder. It's the small area of jimping (grooves) cut into the back of the holder. It doesn't move much but you do have to hold it down to remove the bit.

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.

No, it is not magnetic. It holds the bits in by using a small friction/tension ring.

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

Well if they fit into the driver absolutely, I even use the driver as an extension for my drill I just take out the plastic holder. I also use different bits other than the ones that came with it
