Review on DEWALT DW2055B 6 Inch Magnetic Drive by Oscar Ferrell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Weak magnet, fell apart but can still be used if held properly.

The magnet is too weak to hold the screw. Doesn't magnetize the 2" DeWalt Philips bit and there's too much wobble between them. Securely holds a short hex point. The leveling cylinder slides up and down easily - too easily. When I pulled it back it slipped down the screw again as the percussion instrument vibrated. I ended up holding it most of the time when using it to turn a screw. Holding it at an angle with the sliding lid all the way down worked, but the lid dug into the wood. Drives in normally, goes straight down. Eventually, the hex shaft entering the percussion tool cam exits the barrel. The barrel has a hexagonal hole into which it is inserted. I was able to put it back in and keep using the extension, but I had to hold it together for a while. I'll add some epoxy but I'm not sure it will hold together with a DeWalt Impact screwdriver. Overall, I'm not impressed with DeWalt bits and screwdriver bits.

Pros
  • Spare parts and accessories for power tools
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
