Standard Bit Holders
Standard bit holders keep your driver bits locked in and steady — giving you better control, less slippage and a faster workflow. From magnetic grips to basic extensions, they’re a must-have accessory for all screwdriving tasks.
What Are Standard Bit Holders Used For?
They provide bit security and extended reach for common drill/driver jobs:
- Quick Bit Swaps – Change between PZ2, PH2 or Torx fast without touching the chuck
- Improved Reach – Extend your screwdriver bit for tight or recessed fixings
- Magnetic Holding – Keep screws held to the bit tip while aligning
- Extra Grip & Control – Prevent wobble or slip in high-speed driving
Used By:
- Joiners, kitchen fitters and cabinet installers
- General site trades and electrical teams
- DIYers upgrading their drill setups
Choosing a Bit Holder
Look at grip type, holder length and magnetic strength:
1. Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic
Magnetic holders secure the bit and screw together. Non-magnetic options work best for softer driving jobs or lower speeds.
2. Holder Length
Short holders give max control. Long extensions help reach deep recesses in furniture or fixings overhead.
3. Impact Ready
Check if rated for use in impact drivers — standard bit holders are great for drills but may wear out faster in high torque tools.
Bit Holder FAQs
Will these fit any drill or driver?
Yes — most use a 1/4" hex shank that fits any drill or impact driver with a quick-change chuck.
Are magnetic holders worth it?
Definitely — they help hold the screw in place and reduce slippage when starting a fix or working one-handed.
Can I use these in an impact driver?
Some are impact-rated — check product spec. If not, they may wear out faster under constant torque loads.
What’s the best length for general use?
60mm is a good all-rounder. Long holders (100mm+) are ideal for deep access jobs or tight spaces behind fixings.
