Product Specification

3" QUICK-CHANGE MAGNETIC BIT HOLDER - 1/4" HEX SHANK

The Benchmark Abrasives 3" quick-change magnetic bit holder is built for faster bit changes, secure fastener control, and added reach during repetitive fastening work. Its spring-loaded quick-change sleeve allows compatible insert bits to be changed directly at the holder without removing the holder from the tool, while the magnetic core helps keep screws and other fasteners positioned during alignment and starting.

Constructed from industrial-grade, heat-treated S2 tool steel hardened to approximately HRC 60, this holder is designed for strength and shock resistance in demanding fastening applications. A corrosion-resistant finish helps resist corrosion, while precision CNC grinding supports accurate dimensions and consistent bit engagement. The 1/4" ball-groove quick-change shank installs quickly into compatible impact drivers, drills, and powered screwdrivers.

Safety Tips

  • Always wear appropriate eye and hearing protection during powered fastening operations.
  • Fully seat and lock the 1/4" hex shank in the tool before use.
  • Make sure the insert bit is fully seated and locked by the quick-change sleeve before operating the tool.
  • Select an insert bit that correctly matches the fastener.
  • Use impact-rated insert bits when operating with an impact driver.
  • Do not exceed the operating limits of the tool, insert bit, fastener, or other components in the fastening system.
  • Inspect the holder, sleeve, and insert bit for cracks, deformation, excessive wear, or damage before use.
  • Keep hands clear of rotating bits and fasteners.
