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!

I tried others, including Dewalt. Almost impossible to remove the bit. This one's for screw driving, not impact so much. The bit is snug but mainly just held in by a magnet, so it's very easy to swap out. This also has the guide I love. I've found that the guide on these DeWalt extenders fall off after a year or so of medium use, but before that it's very handy. One thing, they're not all that strong. So if you try using it as a ratchet it'll split under heavy load. For that purpose, maybe the impact driver ones are better.

Love this little driver

This is just a sleeve that goes over the screw to keep it from falling off the bit. It works great for larger screws and bolts, but with smaller screws it often spins them at an odd angle. It also doesn’t work very well without a pilot hole. I’ve mostly used it to start long screws in ceiling electrical boxes, and for that it was very useful.

I have a 10 year old dewalt sleeve that still works perfect. I ordered another one for a separate driver. As soon as i took it out of the package the sleeve slid off and fell on floor. I tried to use it but the sleeve kept falling off effortlessly. And the dewalt bit i had in it fell out also. Dewalt sent me another immediately the next day, and the SAME EXACT THING happened. So disappointed. And when i try to return them, i have to take one to staples and the other to ups. What happened to dewalt???

If you have ever used a power drill in the past you know that in most cases you will be holding the drill in one hand, guiding the screw with the other, and trying to lean into what your screwing into all at the same time. With this little tool your screw will remain straight and true and give you more freedom to grasp your drill properly and put some pressure without having to worry about the screw slipping or kicking out. Be aware that if you have some kind of huge screw with a large head it will not fit inside the sleeve, but for standard decking or drywall screws it works great!!! Try it! I don't think it will be a disappointment. Hope you enjoy your purchase!!! God Bless & Be Safe!!!

Works as expected. Very handy to use a drill machine as a impact driver.

These are great for long screws! Used these for years.

Lo compre para poder instalar chillos largos, y cumplió con mis expectativas, no tengo queja alguna
