I just bought this set and as I was looking at it and I tried to get the bit out of that attachment and I kept scratching my head wondering what in the world this doesn't make sense and before I grabbed my pliers I went to TH-cam and found this video. Sure enough that is definitely an epic fail for Milwaukee
Joe, at first I thought it was just me not doing it right, but as you experienced this is not the way it should work. Fortunately I have several other bit attachments from DeWalt and Ryobi that work correctly. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great review of the Milwaukee impact driver set. I have the same issue with the magnetic bit holder. I can't get the bit out either. The Milwaukee tool design engineers failed with that piece. I would love to see any Milwaukee executive try to take the bit out on camera!
There are excellent German products, but unfortunately most of them are of average quality. Today only Americans think that German products are the best in the world.
@@tamasfarkas7970 I have come to understand you can buy junk anywhere in the world, even in the USA. A country of manufacture does not always equate to a given quality. It really depends on what the brand specifies for materials, workmanship and quality control. Thank you for sharing your view.
Thank you for this helpful video! Thought I was losing my mind with that magnetic bit holder. Once I grabbed the pliers I knew it was a poor design. A few times I was able to get it out by hand.
I personally bought the Milwaukee Tool Driver Bit Set (42-Piece) Model # 48-32-1554 and it’s great for the m12 impact driver I have this was one of them I was personally looking to buy.
My theory is that with PH2 being so popular, you want something that won't easily stay behind in the screw but you still have the option to switch out if you use something else more frequently. The kit also includes adapters which release more easily. I therefore think this is intentionally tight.
Gershon, your theory sounds plausible, but I think most would prefer to easily swap their bits on the magnetic holder without the need for two pliers. In my kit I substituted another magnetic holder with a less aggressive hold. Thank for taking the time to watch and share.
It's intentional. Since the tips have tight fit with the screws, the bit will stuck in the screw very often and that will double your work at the job site. This extension solves the problem.
The bit is held in by spring that just won't let go. I even tried removing the spring but was unable to grab it with a pick. Lucky I have several others that work correctly. Thanks for the suggestion.
Gary, thank you for the idea. I have all but given up on it since I have plenty of replacements in my collection. I will give it a try with the grippy bottle opener and see if that works.
I’m sorry brother you just gotta pull on it you’re not going to break it. The best way to do it it to pull but and wiggle it and it’ll come right out. I also don’t treat it like a baby lol
Something that requires that much force and pliers @9:59 to separate is not normally. I just switched to one that doesn't require a eating a full box of Cheerios to open.
I have one from a Ryobi 31 pcs Drilling and Driving kit model A983102 bought at HD, and some from Torques Smith 16 pcs adapter bit set purchased at Menards Model: MC90051.
Cool info, not making fun of you at all but your voice reminds me of winnie the pooh, but I just got the Milwaukee 45 piece set at home Depot for $20 on sale
While I don't like bits flying all over the inside of the case, I agree with you that some are more difficult to extract from the case holder and their magnetic extension holder is worthless. The Dewalt case has similar issues with the bits although their magnetic holder works as intended.

Same here. Don't like how difficult it is to remove. Thank goodness mine was on sale or I would be taking this back.

Dave, it make you wonder about Milwaukee's quality control on this product. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I personally bought the Milwaukee Tool Driver Bit Set (42-Piece)
Model # 48-32-1554 and it’s great for the m12 impact driver I have this was one of them I was personally looking to buy.
I like the kit except for the stubborn extension, but swapping out with another brand extension solved the issue.

I have seen the Makita XPS holder holding the small bits too tight as well, I bought a separate automatic holder which works fantastic.
@@travissmikle2507 Makes you wonder if they were made by the same manufacturer?
It's intentional. Since the tips have tight fit with the screws, the bit will stuck in the screw very often and that will double your work at the job site. This extension solves the problem.
All you got to do is take that little ring out of the bit extension and then the bits will be alot easy to swap out
Robert, great idea, except I have not been able to get a pick inside to remove it.
5:55 My copy of that piece has both a magnet and a retaining ring, not just a magnet!
Mark, thank you for sharing and watching our video.
Do you not slide the holder back and just pull the bit out?
The bit is held in by spring that just won't let go. I even tried removing the spring but was unable to grab it with a pick. Lucky I have several others that work correctly. Thanks for the suggestion.
@cfldriven fair enough 😊 It wasn't a critique, I genuinely wasn't sure 👍🏻
@@swanbomax No worries, I like viewer input, as I tend to learn new things. Thank you for taking the time to share.
do these work with other brands or with non impact drivers?
Yes these will work with any brand impact or non impact driver.
try using a piece of rubber like shelf liner to grip bit, unless urs holds more than mine

Which magnetic bit holder do you recommend?

Nice score on the 45 piece set. Not offended, I actually met the person who did the voice of Pooh.
@@cfldriven overall good video
@@jonathonlyles3349 I appreciate that, thank you!
I don't buy Milwaukee bit kits any longer because they make it impossible to take out their bits from the case and magnetic extension holders.

What's the price for Milwaukee shock wave impact duty screw driver set
A quick Google search show a price of $31.03 on 08/25/23 at Home Depot. I tend avoid mentioning prices as they tend to change with time.
