Sparehand Magnetic Screw Ring
Drive every screw with one hand, and finish the run in one climb.
- Slides over any 1/4 inch hex bit, nothing to swap
- Makes the whole bit magnetic, so even a 3 inch screw stays put
- Holds through a shake and a hammer tap, so your free hand stays on the board
90 days. If the screw still drops, send it back.

How do I use it?
Slide the ring over the bit, put the bit in the drill, touch a screw to the tip and drive it with one hand.
Will it get in my way?
The ring sits back on the bit and is 0.59 inch wide, so it works in tight spots like hinges and ceiling brackets.

Why the screw keeps dropping
One hand on the work. One on the drill. Screw on the floor.
You are up the ladder, reaching. You start the screw, the drill wobbles, and it falls. Now you are climbing down for it.
"If I had a nickel for every time I had to come off a ladder." You have a bit holder in the drill already. It still lets go, because a bit holder only grips at the tip.
A long screw is top heavy. Overhead, gravity wins. Not all of us have three arms.
The fix is not a steadier hand. It is a bit that holds on.
Why magnetic bits still drop it
The ring makes the whole bit the magnet.
A magnetic bit holds a screw with almost nothing. The magnetism is weak at the tip, and the screw is held by that alone.
Sparehand slides over the bit and puts a strong magnet right at the screw. Think of balancing a pencil on one fingertip. The ring is the thing that holds the pencil to your finger.
- Steel bit becomes the magnet, so a steel screw sticks to it
- Same bit you already use, nothing to swap
- Pull it off and it is ready for the next bit
Head to head
Magnetic bit alone vs bit with Sparehand
| The test | Magnetic bit alone | Bit with Sparehand |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead, reaching | ||
| Long screw, no free hand | ||
| Shake it, tap it |
The screw drops off a bit alone. With the ring on, the screw is not going anywhere. Steel screws only.
How it works
Slide it on. That is it.
Slide it on

Load the screw

"Not needing another hand just for loading a screw can help a lot."
What a driver wrote under a bit holder test. This is the job the ring does.

Questions
Straight answers.
I use a magnetic bit holder already. Why would this change anything?
Will it cover the screw head so I cannot see when it is flush?
Will it fit where I need to drill?
Why not just magnetize my bits?
Does it work with any screw?
Will it slip under heavy torque, or lose its magnetism?
I bought one of these gadgets before and it did nothing.
How do I use it?
How long until it arrives, and what if I do not like it?
Finish the run in one climb.
Slide it on and the screw stays on the bit. Use it on your next job. If the screw still drops, send it back in 90 days.
