Tight and hard-to-reach spaces are all dark until a magnetic impact bit extension shines bright, helping you securely fasten any screws you want to. Typically, bit extensions made of neodymium magnets ensure the best hold. Since each extension comes in unibody pieces for added structure and support, their length is not adjustable.
However, that’s only the case until Ryobi steps in with its 6 and 12-inch magnetic impact bit extension set. Costing only $11 from Home Depot, these bit extensions have a quarter-inch hex shank that fits most impact drivers seamlessly. They’re magnetic, so they’ll hold your impact bits in place well.
While there were some complaints stating that the magnetic hold wasn’t strong enough, most buyers were satisfied with these extensions. The majority of buyers regretted not having bought these bit extensions before, giving it an average rating of 4.4 stars from more than 800 reviews.
The best part, as pointed out by some buyers, is that most other brands on Home Depot, like Milwaukee and Dewalt, are offering only one 12-inch impact bit for this price. Not only are these bit extensions useful in inconvenient situations, but they also come at a competitive price as well.
