The ¼” hex bit holder is very handy and becoming essential as the torque rating on some of these tools continues to climb. At first glance we thought this was another one of DeWalt’s Impact Ready accessories built to handle high torque applications. Well it does that but the story of this accessory is cleaning… That’s right you can push the slide up and clean out the metal shavings and other debris.
Not to say we have never gotten dirt and metal shavings in a bit holder, it happens from time to time. Is this really necessary however? A blast of compressed air will get you going again. We got a little carried away in the picture above but sure enough the retractable nut driver does work. If you are interested in this new DeWalt accessory the part number is DWA2221IR (Coming Soon, Amazon) however I could not find pricing on it yet.
