DeWalt DW2054 Compact Magnetic Drive Guide with Self Retracting Sleeve, 1-Pack

So I ended up ordering 2 of these because I've got a Dewalt mid grip drill that is reaaally powerful and it makes screwing really hard. (No pun intended.) These both arrived looking good. The metal jacket slides up and down and is held in my a C-clip at the base and i think another on the inside of the cylinder. I used it to drill a few 3 inch screws into some 2x4's last night to test it out. It worked great. The magnet was ok at holding the screw on; adequate, which is good enough to to me. When the screw slipped a few times it stayed contained and quickly went back on to the screw. No more mared up work!! It helped prevent stripping the screws too, though it didn't remove the risk entirely. I still needed to be gentle on the trigger and keep the pressure on the back of the drill. As for some of the bad removes about crap quality or broken C-clips. The quality seems as good as any simple metal device could be. Since the outer cylinder extends a few millimeters paster the inner, that does mean that when you screw something down at high speed, the impact will transfer to the cylinder and the C-clip. Apparently, the clip can pop off or the cylinder actually splits, based on poor reviews. Some solutions to consider to extend the life of this tool is: - You could superglue or use tape(or a mix of both) over the clip (I used painters tape because it is essentially paper and becomes a very hard acrylic compositve when mixed). - To prevent the metal tube splitting at some point, you could either use a dremel cutting disk to cut it shorter about 3-4 mm, or perhaps wrap it in duct tape, or try the superglue+painters tape and wrap it tightly a few times to make it stronger. In short, it really is a simple and helpful device, and there are ways to prevent breaking it. Just use your imagination!

I tried others, including Dewalt. Almost impossible to remove the bit. This one's for screw driving, not impact so much. The bit is snug but mainly just held in by a magnet, so it's very easy to swap out. This also has the guide I love. I've found that the guide on these DeWalt extenders fall off after a year or so of medium use, but before that it's very handy. One thing, they're not all that strong. So if you try using it as a ratchet it'll split under heavy load. For that purpose, maybe the impact driver ones are better.

Works well

It’s a good all-around fit

It's DeWalt and I've used these drivers for many years. Saves your fingers a great deal. Drives screws up to 2" in this length. I highly recommend this product.

As with so many of the other reviews, the sleeve came off within 15 screws. Really bad quality. Can't believe it is a DeWalt. I had such high hopes. Not worth retuning it. Won't buy another one and I suggest you find a different seller or product. I'm beginning to think many items on Amazon are factory seconds.

Indispensable tool

Love this little driver
