As the title implies, the bit is magnetic, so screws won’t fall off. One exceptionally useful feature is a barrel-shaped, self-retracting guide sleeve designed to help users drill without having to touch the screw. Not only does this prevent annoying scratches and scrapes, it also makes it easy to push in long screws. Simply grasp the barrel and put your drill to work. Anyone looking to increase their drilling efficiency will be pleased with DeWalt’s Compact Magnetic Drive Guide. No more wobbling and slipping means no more damaged projects.

The DeWALT story
DeWalt Products Company was formed in 1922 in Leola, Pennsylvania. The first product was an electric universal woodworking machine known as the DeWalt "Wonder-Worker." Today the DeWALT Power Tools line consists of over 200 electric power tools and over 800 accessories including: drills and hammer drills; screwdrivers; circular, chop, miter, table, reciprocating, and jig saws; planers; impact wrenches; die, angle, and bench grinders; shears; nibblers; sanders; laminate trimmers; routers, and plate joiners.

The bit holder makes it convenient to switch bits easily and quickly. I have had no problems with it.

They burn out especially quick on self tapping screws that slowly scrape away at the outer shell when you are driving them. I've owned several of these over the years and they just keep breaking and wearing out. It is a must have tool, but I'm looking for someone to sell me one that wont wear out so quick. I've always used dewalt drive guides but I'm going to try some other brands now. Maybe one with a thicker shell.

THIS COMPACT MAGNETIC DRIVE GUIDE WAS A GOOD ADDITION TO MY DEWALT TOOL. IT'S OF STURDY CONSTRUCTION.IT'S VERY HANDY AND SAVES TIME. IT WORKS VERY EASILY.

years that they've been on the market. When driving screws, you normally slip off the screw on occasion, driving the drive bit into your project. Also, when your drive bit wears out, they are expensive to replace.The magnetic drive guide solves those problems and another.1) It uses short, cheap bits - so you spend less on replacement parts.2) You can hold the outer barrel of the guide (it doesn't spin with the drill) so you can guide in long screws without the bit slipping off.3) It's magnetic, so it holds screws. I've worn a few of them out, but I try and never drive a screw without one. You can point your drill down, and the bit stays on.4) The outer barrel makes using slotted screws more manageable (although I usually only use it to take them out and replace them with phillips screws).I've been using them for the 10().

I have never worn one of these out while using it for its designed purpose, but when I used it in a pinch to drive hundreds of metal barn siding fasteners (I removed the bit and was using the guide as a socket drive) the end mushroomed out and lost its shape.In the end, when you are on the end of a tall ladder and you would rather be holding onto the ladder than holding onto the screw so you can drive it, this is the tool for you. That was at least eight years ago and I have been using these ever since. I first discovered these drive guides as part of a deck building pack offered by a local home center. They do what they are designed to do - allow you to drive screws one handed. Also, if you will be driving a lot of screws in wood and you don't want the skin of your fingertips worn off as you steady each screw for driving, buy one of these. I have had great success driving every length of screw up to and including 4" with this driver and my 9.6V DeWalt cordless drill.
