I posted this elsewhere. I know that mike hase seen it. So for the rest of you.
I'm at The National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. I've seen things that are interesting. I even picked up a pair of those nail pulling pliers.
I came across a screw driver bit from
www.rayinnovations.com/
They are about $2 a piece and will fit in your drill/driver. What is unique about this product is that there is a magnet surrounding the tip of the driver bit. As a demo they take a screw put it on the bit and drive it at an angle into some 2 x 4 s. So what is unique about that? Starting and driving the screw is done with one hand, the hand that is holding the drill.
They come in packs of 6 for $9 plus tax and $5 shipping. Yeah a little expensive. However we can expect to see these nifty magnetic bits in hardware stores and woodworking supply houses. I was able to secure a sample driver bit. I know that when I see them in stores I'll be buying additional bits.
And no, other than the sample (Robertson) bit, I have no financial interest in the company. It is just a nifty product that all woodworkers would be interested in.

Nah, I know what you're saying Tim. It'd be neat if there was an "off" so you could clean the crud out - then remagnatize it.... I know they have those things that you are supposedly able to pass a piece of metal through and it magnatizes or demagnatizes something depending on the direction you are going.... no idea how well they work though.
