Bit Holder

Insert bit holders with a 1/4 inch hex drive for drills, screw guns and impact drivers: a standard S2 holder and black impaX holders, one with a magnetic collar.

About the Bit Holder

A bit holder takes a 25mm insert bit and adds reach, so you can drive screws in recesses and corners and swap bits quickly in a drill, screw gun or impact driver. There is a 75mm standard S2 steel holder, and black impaX impact holders in 60mm and 75mm with a magnetic collar, all with a 1/4 inch hex drive, in packs of 10. Choose the holder above; the guide below covers which one to use in an impact driver.

Also called insert bit holders, magnetic bit holders or impact bit holders.

What a bit holder does

A bit holder is a short extension with a 1/4 inch hex drive end that goes into the drill, screw gun or impact driver, and a socket at the other end that takes a 25mm insert bit. It adds reach, so you can drive screws in recesses and corners, and lets you change insert bits quickly.

Hobson lists them as insert bit holders in S2 alloy steel with a 1/4 inch drive: the black impaX holders in its Power-TX range and the silver holder in its standard drive bit range.

Which bit holder: impaX, magnetic or standard?

impaX bit holders (black): part of Hobson's impaX range, which Hobson says is designed for the high impact forces of modern power tools. These are the holders to use in an impact driver, with impaX insert bits.
Magnetic bit holder: the 75mm impaX holder has a magnetic collar (Hobson lists it as insert bit holder, mag collar). The magnet helps keep the screw on the bit, which saves dropped screws overhead and at full reach.
Standard bit holder (silver, 75mm): S2 alloy steel from Hobson's standard drive bit range, for drills and screw guns.
Need a magnet on a holder or bit that does not have one? The magnetic booster in our driver bit range fits over a bit and makes it magnetic.

Using a bit holder

Push the hex end of the holder fully into the chuck or quick-change of the drill, screw gun or impact driver.
Push a 25mm insert bit into the holder: the drive type and size to suit the screw, for example a PH2 bit for a #2 Phillips recess or an SQ2 bit for a #2 square drive.
In an impact driver, use the black impaX holder with impaX insert bits.
Follow the screw maker's advice on the tool. For its plasterboard and needle point screws, Hobson specifies a cordless screwdriver rather than an impact driver.

The black impaX holders. Hobson designs the impaX range for the high impact forces of modern power tools. Use them with impaX insert bits.

Do you have a magnetic bit holder?
