Can you put 2 in series for even better magnetism ?
I love that you can take it off and the bit holds its magnetism for a little while
Me too
I like their drill and bit accessories, but I HATE how hard it is to remove stuff from the cases!!! I’ve cut my fingers trying to remove the hex drive drill bits from the case. Any solutions for this?
I use an old pair of needle nose pliers. It ain't elegant ... but it works
I use pliers to but we shouldn't have to.

I got sick of needing a tool to get them out, so I ran a drill bit into the holes.
Hit the case with a heat gun a little bit and move the bits around a little bit
Load the bit in bottom end first then just lay the bit back into clip. Super simple 🤷🏻♂️
@VCG I'll come back to Milwaukee bits after this. I've tried DeWalt slip over magnet, Norske, and many more. Most recently, I've been using Makita for their sleeve magnet but it can be vulnerable because it's two press-fit pieces. The Milwaukee looks like a one-piece design. This is a big time and trouble saver! Thanks for the video, Vince!
Went out and bought 2 as soon as your vid finished. It’s actually very good! The magnets have very good strength. Better than the 1/4” magnetic bit holder. Much better. Thanks for the hot tip Mr. VCG Construction! Much appreciated!
Regards,
Cesar L. 😊
Thanks Cesar, hope they’re good additions to your setup
At one time in a galaxy far, far away when I was young there was not, a battery impact driver. Impacts where air tools and screws were driven with corded drills or if you where really lucky you may have had a 7.2 volt Makita stick battery drill. In those years to keep screws on the drill you would use chewing gum, maybe silicon caulk, or even a dab of an adhesive.
Today everything is so, so easy. I just reach for my Bosch 12 volt impact and GET R' DONE !!!!! Although I still reach for my 18 volt Bosch 535 hammer drill out of old habits. It's a friend of mine.😊
I was watching Star Wars the other night! ⭐️⭐️👍🏻
Hey Vance, that silicone ring is huge compared to the magnetic bit holder that gots that "junk in the trunk!" cuzbo.
I'ma stick with the magnetic, collet attachment driver bits from DeWalt. They're real nass like
That’s what was thinking too. It really didn’t solve the problem with the magnetic bit holder being a larger diameter.
You don’t like the junk in the trunk?
@@VCGConstruction dude I love junks in the trunk. I got a 2500HD so I can haul all the junks. And if it's still not enough, throw a gooseneck on it and really haul some junks.
That's actually pretty neat.
Think I'll add it to my bags
About time!!!!! Looks awesome ordering mine now thanks Vince!!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Have had a couple of older spring loaded quick chuck style DeWalt ones that were designed to hold the 1” bits and had a magnetic ring that held the fastener. Loved em. Over time, sometimes it wouldn’t want to give up the bit when you needed to swap out and the chrome coating on the neodymium magnets would eventually get beat up and start to degrade, but they did work well and stand up to a load of abuse. More recently, for the thin Milwaukee Shockwave bits, I have found some slip on magnets from Masterforce, found at the retailer my kids refer to as “Save Big Money at Menard’s, or Menard’s for short.
They work great, but they’re, Dark Green and Black and tiny, and have a tendency to go missing. (The bit holders; not my kids.) ((They’re shades of peach and often go missing too, but I think it’s more due to the fact that I embarrass them regularly.))🤔
🤣🤣 I’m gonna check out the magnets from Menards and save big money, thanks James! Gonna be at OPT May 22nd, come hang out Cuzbo!
The masterforce magnets arent that great. They dont hold up to hard use and the little neodymium mag rings pop out of the unit easily. I tried usi g them proffessionally a couple years ago as I liked the price of the Masterforce bits but the magnets didnt hold up well amd they dont hold on the bits that well either and would often come off the bits and stay atrached to the screw ya just got done driving. Ok for occasional DIY but wouldnt recomend for proffesional all day use.
I use Kango magnetic bits, now, wouldn't work without em. But i love this mag sleeve. About time. We had magnetic bits when I did my apprenticeship in Cabinet making 30 years ago. Love your reviews keep it up fella.
Jules
i grabbed the makita over this one and the makita sticks by magnet so it tends to slide down on longer bits i saw this video and ran to home depot to buy this one lol and i like this version way better it has a better magnet and i like the way it secures to the bit way better it fits any bit also to demagnetize a bit you can run it around the outside of the bit that works for me anyway(not sure if you talked about this or not if so sorry lol)
Hello again, Vince and Vcg
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you, When did this come out? I'm going to have to pick this up 😊. Nicely done, Brother.
Thanks, ordered!
I was in the carry a rare earth magnet school...no more. Thanks Vince...thank you Milwaukee.
Cool! I'll be getting a set of these on my next trip to HD
Been using 2 of the Makita ones for a long time now & they are a game changer. Would say they are just as good if not better & easier to put on & off & set closer to bit tip or end when needed. I have one of these Milwaukee ones & they are great when working in tight finished surface spaces because of the soft material you don't need to worry about damage. Both are great would recommend having both. They're both cheap anyways
I bought one from dewalt years ago... 🙄
Me too, don’t know what took Milwaukee so long!
I got one from makita years ago ...
Well I'll say that if this Milwaukee one is a close copy of the original Makita Mag Boost then it will be the new king imo. I've had just about every bit magnet out there that is accessible at stores. All of Dewalts variants and many other brands and the Original fully sealed teal Makita Mag Boost was the best but they quit making it. They went to the metal XPS version which is decent and then came out with a new teal plastic version but it's inferior to the original because the magnets can fall out. I'm going pick up this Milwaukee and if it's like the original Makita Mag Boost and the magnets are sealed inside a one piece plastic housing then I'm going to be stoked.
Great video! Off topic, but what watch band is that? I love the heft, looks great.
KORDIZ Titanium Watch Band T01 (Max), hope that helps.
That’s awesome! Thanks Vince!
You bet!
I run Makita xps bits, and they have the same sort of thing. They work great!
Very good solution. I love this one. Use it all the time.
Awesome Robert, when did you first get them?
These have been at my local HD for months. I didn't know so many people didn't know about them lol.
ha same here I've got quite a few
Gotta pass Home Depot before I get home from work. Thanks Vince!!!
You bet!
Does it matter which way you put it on the bit, like are the magnets on one side or through the whole sleeve? Say I want to put it on one of the shockwave double ended bits, will it magnetize on both ends?
Good video Vince, great tip😊
Glad you enjoyed it Steve!
Was worried at first because I was like how would that fit in tight spaces until you said you can take it off and it will still be magnetized and you just put it back on when your done in that tight space,will be purchasing this!
Actually if you use this style of magnet on a long say 6" bit you can slide the magnet all the way back to your impact collet and the magnet is so strong that it will still hold a screw at the tip of the 6" extension very well. Thats been my experience anyway with the Makita Mag Boost which this Milwaukee is a copy of.
Thx for the info
You’re welcome, are you gonna buy this for your husband?
Very good Video and Presentation. Keep up the good work!👍🧰😍
I'm curious if it'll work on other manufacturer bits? I love and have been using the Wiha impact 2" phillips bits for years, but would it fit the bit shaft?
I've been using the Makita ones for a few years now, love em
Yeah love the Makitas as well!
I saw that Vessel still makes the ones Makita had. I love those things.
@@RonOrudWhat! Are you saying vessel makes the original Mag Boost that Makita used to have? If so that is such great news as the original Makita Mag Boost was hands down the best bit magnet imo.
@@duncdunc76 Doc from the Last Best tool channel had them on a few weeks ago. I was thrilled!
I have been using a old Makita magnet on my shockwave bits for years. Now I can get it in red instead of the black and green one.

Hey what's up my brother from another mother,Awesome video Bro I love it,Hey I Lived in Camden New Jersey but now I live in Florida for 30 years,Keep the good work much love Familia.
What’s the difference in using this, compared to the magnetic sleeve with just the 1” bits?
Holy crap!!! That is amazing!
🤩
I use a sleeve to help one hand screws but the magnet looks like it works better
Go Vince!
Got mine 2 weeks ago 😅
Take my money immediately!!💰
The amount of screws I've lost over the years 😂
5:54 electrons Vince 😂
Thanks for the help Randy!
Finally is right!! I picked this little jewel up about a month ago as i was looking at bit sets locally. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Vince a company called Aimco makes magnetic collars for impact bits as well and they are a little bit more compact than what the Milwaukee ones are
I’m gonna look them up, thanks Fred!
@@VCGConstruction
You’re welcome …. They are a little pricey, but they work great.
How is Camden these days? I used to travel there sometimes and it really looked like it was taking a dark turn. Streets were flooded with shady people, I used a bathroom at Sally's pizza and a guy hard a needle and was doing drugs. I'm from Scarsdale, NY but I love NJ, i use to spend summers in LBI
I use a Milwaukee 1” shockwave bit on a Kreg flip bit that magnetizes the bit and when you flip it you can drill a pilot hole and counter sink your fasteners.
The little tiny magnets at the end of old sonicare toothbrush heads is what i use….some of the tiniest and strongest magnets and theyre really thin
Hey vince what brand powertools would you recommend for a diyer that wont use tools often?
Always buy the best tool you can afford. Tools can be an investment for you to use at home, even if you don't make your living with them.
I use milwaukee drills and screw guns, because they're pretty much indestructible, and get the most use. But whereas my father uses a $400+ skillsaw, almost daily.... I use a 50$ ryobi, because it gets used about 3x a year. Invest your $ where it's most needed.
Cool Vince 😎
Thanks Jamal!
I've had Milwaukee bits blow apart on common indoor screws. They last.. until they don't. After that.. gust of wind will destroy them.
Been using these for months especially on a ladder where it’s a pain in the ass if you drop the screw
Dropping screws..
The worst!
Dewalt been having one of those to slip over bits.u know that vcg.I believe u did a video on it
Makita xps one is great.Might need to try this one.
Makitas XPS is definitely one of my favorites
I like the Makita XPS quite a bit myself but it's not as versatile as the original Mag Boost. You can only use the XPS on Makita bits and even the new Makita XPS bits don't work as well with the magnet because they got rid of the tiny octagon pattern milled on the bits that would keep the magnet from slipping back. And that was a nice feature because you could use the XPS magnet as an oversink preventer when driving screws.
@duncdunc76 I have both and I agree the mag with teal sleeve is better but both are sweet.what phillip bits brand you think are the best?
@@LARULES100 well if I'm using the XPS magnet then the XPS #2 is what I use as I like the feature of being able to use the setup to get consistent screw depth when building playsets which I do alot of professionally. But I will say that over the 15 plus years of driving wood screws I feel like the Impact rated Dewalt bits have been the most durable for me but I rarely use them anymore as a good magnetic setup is key for me and Dewalts magnets are not as impressive as Makitas.
I have the Vessel one, using it with the Rack-a-tier double sided bits.
Makita has cool one. I'll get one of these, but I wish there was a solution for the 6in+ bits. Putting a fat magnet in the front defeats the purpose of being able to get into tight spaces.
I'm still wondering why drills still have a footer and not an impact style collar?.. if someone will make an impact collar to footer adapter it will be amazing
This silicone also has a thick area and doesn’t solve that problem of being able to get through a tight space…I don’t get how that solves this problem
Can't go wrong with Milwaukee Shockwave bits
You got that right!
@@VCGConstruction I love my shockwave driver bits, I'm considering buying the titanium drill bits as I need new bits
I have several N52 small magnets on the back of each drill for weird fastener situations. The giant retail solutions are not a good fit for certain situations.
Didn't know that exist it cool accesories
Awesome cuz, thanks! 👍🏻
Nice vid as always VCG. I think Milwaukee copied Makita on this though. But a red one does look better then a blue one on those red Milwaukee bits 😂. But I will have to give props to Makita for inventing the original Mag Boost that I've used and loved for probably 8 years now. Sadly am down to just one left out of the twelve I bought for $3.49 a peice over the years. I might have to take a look at this Milwaukee one and see if it's an improvement on the original Makita Mag Boost as you can't buy them any more. And the newer version that Makita came out with isn't as good as the original as the magnets in the newer version can fall out if the unit gets banged around in work situations.
Can I get a Shamwow with that?
Milwaukee is about 3 years behind the times. Vim has basically the exact same thing. I’ve had one branded Matco for a few years
Use a Roberson. They act like a magnetic bit.
Always the impact
Just install any bit in the magnetic bit holder and wallah it’s magnetic , Without that magnetic rubber ring. But that magnatizing adapter is still cool.
Mikita makes a small one it’s 5$ works great half that size
WOW. Milwaukee for the win, again.
Hey Bro I Need some of them for my Milwaukee's 12m they are a nice bit Magnetizer,Much love Familia take care I will see you again later Yeaaaaaa Boyyyyyyy Lol.
Milwaukee finally came out with a 6" 1/4 hex head bit
Ten minutes to circle back around to "too much junk in the trunk". I buy the magnets for 50 cents and one wrap of tape hold them in place and not "too big in the middle section".
game changer
Now it will not fit in that small hole you described the 6'' bit going into with that on. Just use the standard 6" driver!
1" Driver bits suck, Vince! You have to fiddle with them in some longer bit holders to get them out. I like 2" or longer bits,myself.
Did you say “beautiful Camden NJ”?! 😳did my ears hear that correctly?
It's just another rebranded idea, Makita had one as well. With Makita it slides on same as Milwaukee, except that if you rub it on the side it demagnetize it as well. Vessel has their own too. Made in Japan, just rebranded and recopy by other countries...
"You might not be able to fit it everywhere you want to" Hmmm. Where have I heard that before 🤔?
You’re today’s winner of the entire internet!
Thanks for playing and we hope you’ll play again tomorrow!
I never realized you were from New Jersey.
Greater Philadelphia!
I'm hard on bits milawkee seems to always break I have less problems with Dewalt and kobalt
Wow, I LIKE Carbides (they dont ALWAYS break - but you gotta be GENTLE lol)
Oh and its silicone not "silicon" Vince ;) :) :)
PS I just use whatever bits are in the bottom of my junk box - I gotta raise my game
Dewalt magnet with Milwaukee bits. Not as tight as I would have liked it. When I can get back to usa 1st buy.
That's magnitific
I see what you did there Rick, thanks! 👍🏻
Woah Vince!
You grew a beard in nothing flat😅
Split second growth Redd! 🤣
Makita makes some very good magnetizers. They are more slim then milwaukees.
The only thing better than 1 impact is 2 impacts! I find myself only reaching for the drill when I need a hammer drill.
Vence long time no see u brother...u
Glad to see you.
I like 😂how calm he talks to us. Very slow 🐌
You want calm and slow, go to the library and read a book…
This dude is cool 😂
Thanks, you’re one of my favorite cuts of Pasta!
they used to have magnetic bits what happened to those? i guess this is more profitable
I prefer dewalt phillips bits hold screews without magnets
Hey I know this is random but I really want this sleeve but I can’t get it in New Zealand is anybody willing to send me one? I’ll pay obviously
Thats thicker than the bit holder 😂
The music while u were talking was weird
Got craftsman
Now you can drink a beverage and screw with the drill one handed.
7:34-7:47 😂
Ok let’s forget Milwaukee for a minute have y’all seen the dewalt McLaren drill and impact driver
Of course their solution for a problem with their bits is to sell you something else as an add on instead of fixing the solution at the source
I've been using cheap aftermarket magnet products.
LIKE 👍👍👍👍👍 🤩 😇😇🤩 👉 💯 💯 💯 💯 👈
Dude I love your videos but this didn’t fix anything, it’s wider and more chunky around the middle then the 6” extension, and like you already said “why not just use a magnetizer, well it loses its magnetism after impacts.” But then right after use the exact same scenario on how to use it in small spaces and say it’ll stay magnetized for a few uses.
Conclusion, just use the 6” magnetized extension you get in almost every bit pack and get a magnetizer for the long 6” bits for the tight spaces. Your just adding an unnecessary small “tool” to your collection that’ll probably get lost.

Milwaukee bits are terrible. Bought shockwave and they round over when using a drill driver and impact.
