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!

The product is of high quality and performs as advertised. It's a great addition to your toolbox.

This attachment is amazing. It's very easy to use and has come in handy a few times with my drill and automatic screw driver.

I bought three to spread across multiple tools but two fell apart after the first or second use. The tube part fell off and defeat the tools entire purpose. I would show the other one but I can't find it after it broke back to back. It works great for the first use. Very disappointing. Not what I expect from Dewalt tools. Steer clear of this tool.

I wish I had this thing years ago. It works really well with long and short screws. Mine actually fell apart and now the sheath falls off the bit holder, but it still gets the job done. I just have to make sure I don't pull it out too far. Definitely a great purchase.

This is a quality product, just as described.

Works as it should. It’s a DeWalt, so I would expect nothing less.

The bit holder is great to use and have on hand.Easy to change out bits and t he magnet keepsThe bit in the holder
