para417501 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have a 5/16 --6" bit that goes into the impact and magnet fell out today when I was 30 stories up in a swing stage so not sure where she fell to but does anybody know of a place that's sells those small magnets that fit in the tips there... I figure I can just put some gorilla glue and let her sit for a bit and she is back in business...Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathatyl Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 is this a hex magnetic adapter? a picture would really help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Something like this? I'm not sure how the magnets are done in hollow bits, but if it's a solid bit you can order a neodymium magnet of the appropriate size on amazon. If you have larger magnets you can cut off a piece of one. I have no idea where they keep coming from, but I have a ton of these magnets on hand because they tend to be useful. If you don't have magnets on hand, it might be cheaper to buy a new bit. Also be sure to thoroughly clean the magnet before gluing because the metal filings stuck to it will keep it form sticking in the glue.

para417501 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 That exactly it the picture above the magnet keeps falling out just figure I would see what cost would be for magnets instead of keep buying new bits all the time ... Thanks for the info I appreciate it will have to see what I can find on Amazon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I buy all of my magnets on eBay. I think it's a good time to upgrade the magnet to a more powerful magnet, I've wanted to do that before on bit holders but I couldn't get the magnet out. Note: Pay attention to where you're buying from, the cheapest will come directly from China and it will take a month to get to you. For a little bit more you can find shippers from the US.

Peter Argyropoulos Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 make sure you glue it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para417501 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks I will look on eBay .. What size did you get and how did you get original magnet out of it is still in there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I would imagine something like 6mm across and maybe 6-10mm long(which is a total guess). I have no idea how to get one out, I wish I knew I'd love to put a stronger magnet in one of my adapters...though i don't know if I'd want to go with the N52s I normally get, those are ridiculously strong, I'd worry about being able to easily get the bits out.

Peter Argyropoulos Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 To get a magnet out for replacement, heat it up a little with a torch till it loses its magnetic strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
