Hey Hi!
I was reading a Wirecutter article about precision screwdrivers and noticed their top pick (MegaPro) used double-sided 4mm bits. They store inside the handle of the screwdriver, but you can also buy them separately (links below). I know some users of the Cybertool bit driver use singe-sided 4mm bits to expand their bit range because there really aren’t any companies currently making double-sided 4mm bits. Since the single-sided bits don’t have a ball detent, many people stick (glue/putty/tape) a small disc magnet in the bottom of the bit driver to keep the bit secured. From the videos I see on this, it works very well. Single-sided bits have a large flat surface area to strongly attach to the magnet. The MegaPro double-sided bits also don’t have a ball detent, so they would have to be secured magnetically. However, since they have a much smaller surface area contacting the magnet, I’m wondering if they would still be held securely.
If anyone uses the “magnet trick” and have used these MegaPro double-sided bits, please let me know if they work well and if they’re a good alternative.
