- CRAFTSMAN needed to step up their production because tradespeople, carpenters and contractors that use drill drivers and impact drivers had been requesting one of the most useful, inexpensive tool accessories made previously by DeWalt. The #VeryCoolGang has been asking us for a status update on this widely used tool accessory and in this video we let you know that craftsman Makes Tool Accessories, drill and driver bits that DeWalt WON'T!
I love this little tool. Its so small but accomplishes a TON! Never knew Dewalt stopped making these. I have like 3 laying around from the kits i bought so far. Gonna make sure they stay safe and not get lost.
I'm glad I have 3 of the yellow dewalt magnetizing sleeves still in my tools.
I still have 2 of the older bit kit withers in both of them
Dewalt didn’t stop making these lol they have a new version made of metal now. It’s much more sturdy and easier to slide on and off bits
Nice…..I just bought into the Craftsman V20 line. Pretty nice tools for the money.
A few months ago I was looking for this and now I know why I couldn’t find it!! Thank you!
Nice to see you brought out the CMCF820 for a Craftsman tool accessory vid. Good impact driver.
Hi Vince, your absolutely right, the dewalt boxes fit into themselves awesome and very convenient, makes the job easier and faster, I’m a dewalt fan and always will be, excellent demonstration, ty, Bob,
Thanks Robert we appreciate it!
@@VCGConstruction you always produce quality video’s,
FYI the Craftsmen bit boxes also fit onto the Dewalt cases.
@@sbell7105 hi, really, excellent tip ty, probably the same thing with different names lol,
I loved the opener "What's up everybody my name's Vince, if it's your first time here I'm like this all the time" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Vince God Bless you brother!
❤❤❤❤ this channel!!!
I never did get one of those doodads from my Dewalt kits. Ill be going to lowes today to pick up my very own doodad today..
Just wanna warm everyone ! 🤣🤣
They probably contracted to have a certain number made. When the contract amount sold out the manufacturer was not able to duplicate the contract without a large increase in cost.
DEWALT and craftsman are both owned by Stanley black and decker. The reason DEWALT quit making it and craftsman started is Stanley is pushing craftsman more currently since they acquired the company. They are made by the same people in the same building.
Hello again Vince and Vcg
Thank you for another Great Video. And thank you for another opportunity. Again thank you
Thank you George, we appreciate you!
@@VCGConstruction Hello again and Thank you Vince and Vcg. I have a question for you guys. I've been researching one of my next tool purchase. I have found a Gearwrench 81235 and Sunex 8855, Both are 9-piece Magnetic universal joint sockets and Extensions. I have to admit that I like the idea. What I don't know is how much magnetic pull or field does each one have? They are both very similar in design and detail. I have called both companies and got nothing to speak of information wise. The idea is the as the Craftsman Magnetic tool you showed today. Don't drop the tool or part. So I guess the question is which one is the Best tool for me to purchase? Again thank you
VCG covers everything from tools to the accessories...especially the little known ones...great work...my go to tool channel...👍💯
Thanks Bullet!
I was thinking the same. One of the best on TH-cam. Good to have fellow Very Cool Gang members with great attitudes like yours.
Nice work Vince ….. I appreciate your tool reviews
Love the craftsman content man!! They have been on fire here lately
i run these on my dewalt. absolutely a must for framing and construction
“And when I say here… I meanin’ plannet earth” A philosophical man
Always
@@VCGConstruction new to the channel. Has Milwaukee fixed the collar on the drivers to keep the bits from coming out? Thanks
@@AzTurboMini yes, as of late 2020 all m18 2853-20 impact drivers (a.k.a. gen 3.5) have dual ball detent collets. 👍
Makita makes the same plastic magnet to fit over a long bit I bought them at home Depot two weeks ago and they work beautifully
All Stanley black and decker. Love your videos Vince!
Just picked up the magnetic item at Lowe's, on your orders! Switching driver bits is not easy. Maybe loosens up after use? Unbelievable price! THANKS!
DeWalt didn't stop making them! I just bought it yesterday and there is more coming in!
Love you videos sir . Dewalt and craftsman are owned by the same company. All there but case boxes fit together too
Dewalt still makes them… they just come in the Maxfit impact rated bit sets at Home Depot. They also come in the Dewalt Flextorq bit sets at Lowe’s but the housing is made out of aluminum (fancy). I have never seen them sold separately before, but I got all of mine from the bit sets they came in. They are great at keeping the screws from falling off!
I bought this exact one today. I couldn't find the DeWalt one that I used to buy. I lost them a lot ... It's amazing. I gotta say I'm falling in love with Craftsman lately. They're stepping up their game to beast mode.
I had a Dewalt magnetic collar and I was fastening 3" screws with it. My coworkers looked at me strange and said, "You do know that made for Drywall Screws, right?" I laughed and mentioned that it magnetized the screws.
You tell em !
Very useful info. I love this accessory and I would not have known that Dewalt had dropped it. Thank you!
Thanks Jim I appreciate it!
Thanks for the info Vince
It is the same manufacturer. Both brands are literally the same thing. Love them both.
Thank you Vince for my VCG CONSTRUCTION fix for the morning. I'll make us a coffee. 🙏🏾🖖🏾🌏🤙🏾☕😎
Thanks Antonio, you know I love me some coffee!! 👍🏻 have the best week ever brother!
@VCG thanks for the new intro music. My wife has been complaining for a long time about having to hear that intro. I bought her some luggage but that didn't work.😀 keep up the good work
I have dewalt one I have to get the craftsman Version. And my craftsman cmcf820 never impact for my work
I had the same as you had from DeWalt, lost it and then I ended up getting a masterforce a while ago from Menards. It came with the interchangeable magnetic torsion collar, a double-sided square head, a double sided Philips head, and a double-sided T25 head. Then about a month ago I found my DeWalt one and compared them. Not much difference other than the color really, I'd say they got the same grip.
Appreciate the feedback Tony!
I love this info!!
There is actually a few differences that Ive found in my use of both. The Dewalt mag slides on the bit shaft during use which I personally do not like and the Masterforce does not. However the Masterforce tends to come off the bit during use often especially when using it with a larger fastener bit like a T30 or T40 bit for lag fasteners. Ive also had several of the magnets on the Masterforce come off and or break after some use where I havent had that happen with the Dewalt. The old Makita mag boost is the best bit magnet Ive found but you cant find them anymore. I'd say the new Makita mag boost is my 2nd favorite and is quite nice for setting screws as its design helps prevent overdrive. I'd take the Masterforce as a cheap 3rd alternative over the Dewalt because I dislike the way the Dewalt slides on the bit during use and I also like the Masterforce bits as a cheap alternative to Dewalt bits.
@@VCGConstruction what are style bits these work with again
I'm hyped...and have no idea why. 🤷♂️ Seriously...more charisma than the Shamwow guy.
I was a die hard Craftsman tool guy decades ago , then they started putting garbage out ! I grew up family owned automotive parts stores and a major tool tool warehouse for the Midwest I had access to anything I didn't really need ! But Craftsman was my go to , even over my Proto tools and SK sets .
Hey Vince wondering if you can answer a question for me. I got the M12 1/2 Stubby tool only then bought a charger and battery, now I'm looking for a case to put it all in. I found some Hard cases for sale for other model M12 guns, are the cutouts inside the case specific to each tool or are they universal? I.E. If I get the hard case from a 2553-22 will my 2555-20 fit inside? Thanks man love the videos!
Jeeze. The scam-bots are getting more aggressive, with several bots replying to create a story for people to fall for. Everyone report those please.
Crazy, right?
I just got a DeWalt bit kit and yes they still do make these
I have 2 of them and I didn’t realize it until I saw your video.
Heading out to get one. Thanks for info.
Thanks Tom, glad the video is helpful!
Your super on point! My man, thank you for this video!
Thanks ARom!
I actually prefer the Makita magnetic sleeve. The Dewalt one tends to be so close to the screw that when the screw isn't flat it has more problems.
Makita has multiple solutions that I like !
The Makita is what I was going to mention. I had 3 of them until I gave one to an apprentice I was working with
I added a comment about the Makita before reading your. The Makita collar doesn't fit most of my bits...are you using bits actually from Makita or am I missing something/ possibly got a defective collar?
@@russellmeyer1 Ya gotta use Makita bits with the new silver Makita mag boost for the most part. The old blue Makita mag boost would work on just about every bit brand out there. Sometimes you can still find them for sale at online sellers.
@@russellmeyer1 I have the old blue one and I use it on everything from my Milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver with the long bits to Dewalt Maxfit bits. Never owned a Makita bit.
Your super on point!
Which battery would you recommend to use with this power tool?
I like the compact 2.0
I bough the DeWalt magnet little magnet when you had the video on it. I got them now ....
Stanley Black&Decker owns/makes DeWalt and Craftsman also. I think they own Porter Cable too...although Delta and Porter Cable were together previously. It's strange because Black and Decker has better right angle hex attachments for impacts than DeWalt. Porter Cable corded angle grinders are identicle to former Black and Decker except B&D had an awesome 8amp motor whereas the PC only has a 7. They're both fantastic though.
@VCGConstruction off topic here, have you tried the Apex driver bit kits? I know they have a magnetic sleeve just like the shockwave magnetic sleeve. I grabbed some to try recently.
I love those cases and I use the Makita version, Mag bit
Badass I’m going to get mine tomorrow morning thanks for the share Vince !
I just bought 2 maxfit sets at home depot yesterday. Lots of them here in Canada
Go Vince!
Thanks!
I do Craftsman,
its Red.
P. S. Lowe's 😪 has 3 different versions
T25, #2Phillips & #2Robertson.
Just thought you should know!
Tanto edge ❤️👍, oh and thanks for the info on craftsmen 👍👍
I might have a knife addiction…
🤣🤣🤣
After using just about every bit mag out there Ive come to the conclusion that the original blue Makita mag boost is still the best! With the new silver Makita mag boost coming in second place because it pretty much only works with Makita bits which kinda sucks. Especially since Makita isnt making a 2" T40 bit that it can be used with which is a main bit I use in my work of building outdoor structures like gazebos, pergolas, and kids playsets. All the Dewalt ones work decently but I dont like how both the metal and plastic ones move on the bits while using them, and of course they pretty much only work with Dewalt bits as well. The Masterforce, and Irwin bit mags are very similar and work decently as well and can fit on various bits, but they seem cheaper made and dont seem to last as long in my experience in hard use applications like driving lags with a lot of vibration. The magnets on those will fall out or break more frequently then the others in my use. Still cant beat the original Makita mag boost imo so if ya got some keep them safe as I used to have like 12 of them and Im down to 4 all do to employees loosing them lol. Never had one break. Sure wish Makita would make them again!
I been looking for that piece for my inpact drill when I seen the video on it when it was uploaded a while back &and come to finde out heart makes the same bite holders separately with ph2's & ph3's I think ; or you can get the bite magnetized head by it self
Bought the craftsman one today at Lowe’s.
Hi Vince, what is the best deal out there for this as of today? Amazon? Home Depot?
eBay buddy, guaranteed
Hay brother hope you and the family is having a great day and also the VCG gang. Like always hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. God bless 🙏 😎🇺🇸👍
Hi does anyone know of a place to buy this that will ship to Australia because we don’t get these here
I just think stanley b+d is just doing what a big company does. Evaluating revenue streams with multiple platforms. If craftsman performed better with driver accessories than adding that to the lineup makes sense. I never saw the dewalt one available anywhere so I bought a master force one from menards
It’s the exact same thing that Milwaukee does, test running tools on the ryobi line
Hello, I would like to know where you sell the Original Craftsman brand tools, I would appreciate it if you told me.
Dewalt does still make them. MAXFIT screwdriving set with sleeve (30-piece) for $12.92 at home depot. My store has 81 in stock. The 2nd closes store next to me has 96 in stock. Store # is 6528.
I still have a DeWalt version and use it constantly.
I think this man truly inspires to be a late night infomercial personality lol. Still love the stuff though lol.
Wish craftsman would step it up and make commercial grade tools again.
Their hand tools are pretty good!
My guess:, it is a way to force people back to Craftsman. To slowly build confidence and trust back. SBD (Stanley Black and Decker) is rapidly expanding Craftsman, while upgrading their tool line. Recently the introduced a new professional series of hand tools. Only time will tell.
Dewalt has a new version of this made of metal that slides on and off of bits easier and magnetizes better than the old plastic one. You’ll find them in newer bit sets it’s silver metal and a bit wider. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you see it.
Last I checked Makita still makes really solid mag collars too.
I buy the wera ringmaget bit holder for doing steel studs and such, great for those 1/2 Phillips drive screws that just slips off the bit, making you øoke it thru your finger.. They have a impact rated one too.. None if them are free😂 It's called the wera rapidator..
Yo Vince! Hmm. I'm still stuck on a standard 3" magnetic driver with screw guide. A.k.a. magnetic sleeve. I've yet to find a reason to have anything else. CLOSE! I've come real close, but no replacement yet needed. 🤷♂️ Great video and as always, God bless! 😁👍
The Dewalt sleeve is still one of my “Go to” drives as well Dave!
Hardly anybody makes them anymore,I ended up getting mine at Walmart under the Hypertough brand
Craftsman and DeWalt are the same company, Stanley Black and Decker
That’s what I was thinking…it makes people have two battery platforms from the same parent company haha.
Interesting ! I didn't know that , Stanley also has Proto unless that changed ..
Vince is always in 3rd Gear all the time!~Matt
All gas…
NO BRAKES!
I'm thinking about going with tradstack now because you would be able to interchange tstack and versastack.
Definitely intergalactic
Home depot still has this model DEWALT MAXFIT Screwdriving Set with Sleeve (30-Piece) for $12.97
DeWalt still has them in the 12 dollar kits. I just bought one few days ago.
Stanley black and decker actually owns both brands. Dewalt and Craftsman are basically the same company now.
Correct-O-Mundo. 👍
I think DeWalt had complaints about the plastic version failing when run on Speed 3 all the time ;)
Used milwaukee bits for 4 to 5 months and 1 would last maybe 6 weeks. I've switched to dewalt and so far I'm liking them better.
Weird. I just bought a bit set from Dewalt not too long ago and this magnetic part came with it. Perhaps they just aren't selling it separately. I've seen yellow and stainless and maybe black alternatives in many of their sets.
Strange maybe is just a USA thing because my local Home Depot at Quebec City got a lot of the Dewalt one.
I love you Craftsman.
Cool Update Vince 😎
Yooooo Jamal, thanks buddy!
You get the yellow one in the kit at home Depot I could have sworn I saw as well as I saw a 5-bit set that had the yellow collars on all the five bits unless I'm mistaken and thinking of something else. These were the DeWalt
I think it was a drywall screws set with bits and the yellow collar. I just glanced at it though
Found a 4 pack of these DeWalt at my local Depot and yes, they are also in the kit.
@@eseere4080 Photo please
atleast in canada, that lttle magnetizing bit thing it still comes in the sets
would like to know how it compares to the one i current own. which is the new silver makita XPS ring magnet sleeve. its a short one, with the 3 ball bearings on the inside of the ring to retain it
@Dreamcat 4. Imo if you dont mind having to use Makita bits the Makita mag boost that you have is probably the best one on the market right now. Imo it works better then the Craftsman/Dewalt one Vince is demonstrating in the vid.
@@duncdunc76 cool man! thanks for letting me know. it did come as part of the 60 bits xps kit so have some 2 inch impact bits go with it. actually here in UK the dewalt one can only be found a part of a kit pack DEWALT DWA2SLS30 MAXFIT which is #26 GBP on amazon uk. elsewhere it seems my other future impact bits will have to be things like wera impactor. since i cannot seem to obtain the makita xps stuff anymore. at least not with reasonable pricing. shall just try the xps collar with other brands and see if it might work for some of them. thanks for the input here! appreciate it 👍
Vince is a knife man. Nice work copping that PM2 from BladeHQ 👊🏼
Makes absolutely no sense DeWalt would discontinue that magnetic bit sleeve. Maybe it's just a supply issue. All those shipping stuck out off the coast of California. No DeWalt magnetic bit sleeve for Christmas ☹️
It could be that manufacturing cost over-runs prevented procurement department at DeWalt from reordering.
great video, love it
Thanks Even!
I'm still confuse about impact driver and drill driver, which one would you recommend?
Both
Isn't it the same parent company? I know the Craftsman 18 gauge cordless brad nailer is identical to the Porter Cable, so it seems silly that things aren't made cross-platform.
Carry the Para 2 as well, just not a tanto blade. I like the standard blade.
The new kits at depot has 2 different bit sets and I believe that tip is in one of them. I seen it the other day. 😎🇺🇸👍Also did you get a pair of the Milwaukee work pants and if so how do they feel and do the sizes run true. Thanks 👍
Irwin makes one but it's a little smaller
Found the desalt one at Lowes today.
That looks awesome Vince
Yoooo Dude!
Love that spyderco
The kits in Canada look like they still have them
If I'm not mistaken Stanley owns craftsman and dewalt (and various others)
Stanley/Black and Decker are the parent company for both so the only one refusing to make it under Dewalt name is S/BD
Wish Dewalt would make a adapter for toughsystem to fit on tstack. Craftsman did it.
I think you can get something aftermarket
I think the DeWalt branded one has a metal shell now.
I remember that , I bought it after watching that video
Awesome Mack!
Dewalt makes one they just made it into a metal version and you need special bits from dewalt and I think it works better honestly
I seriously think this is a shipping issue with DeWalt as most of their products that are falling off are made by overseas manufacturers that make the same tools/accessories for multiple other brands but if DeWalt sells more of them than refilling the shelves will be harder than other brands that still have things like this sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
Thank God I wasn't the only one scratching my head over what that was. I used to just called it a 'Wudda-fuq'
🤣🤣
Probably Stanley Black & Decker trying to revive the Craftsman name.
Looks like a dollar value proposition
