Works well for quick access for easy frequent bit changes. But this ease of pulling bits from the holder comes at the expense of secure holding. The holes for the bits are slightly oversize to allow easy removal, and for 1″ long bits it’s fine. But for 2″ or longer bits, it does allow a lot of wobble in the them, especially nut driver bits that are naturally top heavy. And although there are small neodymium magnets in the base that firmly attach the holder to metal surfaces, the same cannot be said for the magnet holding in the bits. The weaker “sheet” magnet holding the bits in has both benefits and concerns. The weakness allows even short 1″ bits to be removed easily when grabbed by the tip. But it seems to just barely be sufficient to hold the bits in. The holder can be turned upside down and the bits do not fall out. But give it a slight bump and they will fall out. Most of the time the magnets should be sufficient to hold the bits in, but I fully expect all the bits to go flying if I were to drop the fully loaded organizer. The center hole is also oversized, I am assuming to fit a bit holder. But personally I would have preferred that the pattern and size of the other holes continue uninterrupted.
Overall, I do like the organizer and only mention the shortcomings so others can have the information to judge if it will fit their needs. Personally I would like to see a larger organizer that would hold a huge assortment of bits. And if the bit magnet was stronger so it could mount upside down in the lid of the toolbox without the bits coming out as the lid dropped shut, it would be perfect.
