Magnetic Torq screwdrivers / bits?
« on: April 24, 2013, 07:27:26 pm »
Can anyone recommend strong magnetic torq screwdrivers or bits that are capable of holding the VW screws/bolts on to them so the don't drop into hard to reach places?

I could have really done with these when removing trim such as C pillar and trim around the boot. Thank god for a magnetic pick up tool but be good to have to rely in using this.

Why not magnetize your present bits  :evilgrin: by stroking them with a strong magnet??
Without traction power is nothing!

Me too, I've got a set of the Wera Impaktor diamond coated bits. They are about £3 max each but they are super strong as they are designed for use in impact drivers.
Plus you only really need T20, T25 and T30.

Left mine stuck to a couple of strong magnets, and still going strong. Depends on the size/weight of the screw you're trying to hold I guess.
