Century Drill & Tool 70570 Flexible Bit Holder, 7" length

Seen some bad remarks left on these. I've purchased 6 of these things now. Accidentally lost the first two lol. After seeing the price drop from 13$ per to 3$ per I had to purchase 4 more.Now to the review.. I'm an HVAC tech so my life relies on this tool to get those screws you'd normally have to waste 10 min or more trying to get. I use a 12v Dewalt impact drill, its not overloaded with power like a 20v is. Those easily snap tips off of screws, where the 12v does not. So if you handle these amazing bits with care they'll last you a long time. I'd imagine if you used this with a drill on a completely rusted shut screw or even excessive over tightening a screw May cause the middle of these things to unwind like most flexible bits tho...Cons: Conners were cut, the drill attachment side doesn't have a quick release groove, which makes it easy to drop lol. The tips have a little metal ball that comes with a a metal ring to hold the ball in. The ball is what holds your desired bit in. The metal ring has come over before but it's easy to reattach. Nothings built perfectly but for 3-4$ for these bits.... Order before their gone!

When I ordered this, I did so with caution, but had high hopes of it at least lasting for the one small job for which I needed such a tool. Unfortunately, it was a disaster from the moment it came out of the packaging. The hex collet was very poorly made and was so loose that it not hold a standard hex bit securely. Further, because the bit was so loose in the collet, the spring-loaded locking ball did not function on its own to hold the bit in the collet. There appears to be a locking collar that can be slid down over the spring keeper that holds the ball in the collet, but the collar is not big enough to slid over the collar, so it serves no purpose. In trying to slide the collar down to lock the bit into the collet, thinking that perhaps it would hold securely enough to get my one job accomplished, the locking collar cracked and fell apart in my hand, the spring keeper popped off, and the very small locking ball disappeared. In general, this is great idea that is very poorly executed in this particular product.

If you are a toolman you have to have one of these. I had one, before I purchased this one and it was a little more flexible, which may be why it broke when I used it on my drill. Though less flexible this one seems more rugged. It accepts several typs of bits. A great addition to my toolbox.

I do not like this product, it is pretty much useless. It does not bend very well.. I thought it was one that bent and stayed in that position but its not, and it is very hard to get a decent grip on. There is only one tiny little piece on the front that you can hold with two fingers which makes it difficult to hold. The grip also fell off a couple times, but I put it back together. Now it just sits in my tool drawer with no purpose.

i ordered this extension screwdriver to remove the clamp in my fuel sender but i did not work its not very flexible

Not very bendable.

I got this for my radio control hobby and it turned out to be a little wider and stiffer than I would've wanted to, but its a very well made tool and would work great for other regular jobs.

Very handy when trying to drill\drive in hard to reach places........

Cumple para lo que lo necesitaba, pero siento que la flexibilidad no es lo que esperaba.por lo demas esta bien, por el precio ya que no lo pude conseguir en ferreterias locales.

Buen material resiste

no tiene buen uso, muy inestable y no tiene imán en la punta
