BMack37 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 This is my third attempt. First one was just the metal clip from the m18 bit holder...it worked better on the non-Fuel m12. Second was plastic...didn't last. So I pulled out the big guns. First I bought a 1/4" square to 1/4" hex magnetic adapter. I wanted magnetic because the retaining ring doesn't work well on bits that are bigger than 1". I bought this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040UBLO0 The hole fits the screw perfectly, the head cannot pass through. I used a 5/32 drill bit on the opposite side so the head can pass through, then beveled to clean the hole up. I used the rotary tool to grind a slot so the overmold can help keep the bit from turning. Added some locktite to the treads and it's done. Should have done this to begin with, it was really easy to do. Hope it may help...we'll have to come up with something new for the gen2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 nice. looks handy. Not sure how much I would use a bit holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Have you tried the Makita but holder? It's about $5. Should be easy to cut or shape. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I thought about it but everywhere I found it charged shipping which doubled the price, then I'd have the issue with not knowing how it would fit the overmold. BTW, this should also work on the Fuel screwdriver. I use the bit holder to hold a PH1 and leave a PH2 in the drill, it takes care of nearly all the driving I do at work. Occasionally I come across PH3 or torx/hex but most are PH2 and PH1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Julian Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I just keep a couple small rare earth magnets epoxied to the side and stick extra bit or screws on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
