Perfect Bit Holder on Bit Holders

I've tried many bit holders for my large drill and tried to find one as good as the one that comes built into my cheap Ryobi electric screwdriver. I know what you're thinking, the Ryobi bit holder is my benchmark, I shouldn't be too demanding. However, I've tried many other bit holders (Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt) and they don't snap as securely, or it's much less intuitive to remove bits from them, especially with one hand. I don't like the traditional magnetic bit holders, they tend to leave the bit in the head of the screw unless I shake or twist the bit before pulling it out. Dewalt's "lock bit" is close, but I don't like the pressing mechanism pulling the bit out a bit and it's difficult to change bits with one hand. The Wera works very well, it doesn't usually throw the racquet which makes me want to drop it like a Dewalt and the trigger is right next to the snaffle which means I can hold the racquet and pull the trigger at the same time . Doesn't fall anymore. When I insert the bit into the holder I have a very nice and precise locking feel. We'll see how well it holds up over time, but for now it's exactly what I wanted.
