Makita E-03442 Impact Premier Mag Boost

Neat little gadget that I didn't realise I needed! Definitely makes some magnet improvement over standard magnetised bits. Its small size does not get in the way at all and the durability has so far been good with very little wear after a fair bit of use. Very good value for money, I'll be buying more for my other Makita drivers

I saw this recommended in a newsletter I receive and thought I would give it a try, as it was only a fiver. It arrived and was much smaller than I had expected but it works well. It slides over normal size screwdrivers, almost pulling itself on (see my video), and when in place your screwdriver channels the magnetism to hold most screws in place on the end of it. Really nifty piece of kit, which really comes into its own when you have an awkward spot to drive in a screw, or remove a screw and not drop it once it's out). Really tiny, too, so easy to pop in your toolbox or pocket (and equally easy to misplace, of course!).

Makita qualty, simple but works

Worked well with my screwdriver bits - need the longer bits rather than the very short ones to work at its best

Good product

Does what it says it does, the magnet is strong enough for bigger screws, I tried up to 5mm x 100mm screws and it seems to hold well. The only downside is that it covers most of a 50mm impact bit, so if you need to see where the tip of the bit is, then you'll either need to try longer bits, or a different solution. Update: Used this a few times now, but found that on a 50mm bit, it covers most of it, so if you are screwing into a recess, the Mag Boost gets in the way. Longer bits would probably work better, but they are more expensive, and not worth the faff. I have gone back to a Wera Impaktor bit holder and standard size impaktor bits.

Great addition to any diyers,toolbox would recommend & buy again 👌

Never had once of these before and I find it very useful when using steel screws, even if a little expensive.

Küçük, güçlü mıknatıslı çok pratik ve yararlı bir aparat.

Muy bien, un agarre perfecto de los tornillos y buen ajuste a un destornillador manual, o a un bit para atornillador siempre y cuando sea de tamaño largo. El tornillo si es de acero, o sea la mayoría, queda firmemente fijado, y aunque lo.menees no te caerá. De precio muy bien, solo 2,5€

This adds a lot of magnet power but you need to have the right type of bits otherwise it is a really bad fit. I tend to use the impact ones that are quite thinner in the middle part and it is not a good fit with this. You need to use the ones that have the hex part all the way and it will do wonders.

Excelente. Produto de qualidade.

Works great. I was considering the regular Makita magnet adapter but after seeing it's poor durability I decided to spend the extra money for this. So far it's been money well spent. I do think it's still a bit overpriced but in comparison to everything else that's out there – this is definitely it! I've tried other magnetizer and magnet adapters and this has by far been the strongest, simplest, and most durable (so far). Easy enough to install/remove. Has a nice fit on my bits and Klein Hex extension (as an aside if you pair this with Klein's extensions with the 1/4 socket for standard 1/4 bits it actually magnetizes the bits through the extension – just enough to keep the screw attached for easier installing/removing.) Awsome way to magnetize Klein 1/4 hex adapter and a couple of their other sockets!
