I love the bit holders that go on the carabiner It’s hooked to the outside of my Veto tool backpack. I have six of them on my carabiner. It’s absolutely one of my favorite tool accessories I’ve ever bought.
I love Railer. I don't know how good the bits themselves are, but I've never had any issues with them. I use a 13-1 screwdriver which uses impact bits. I find short bits annoying, but do use them with stubby screwdrivers when space is limited.
I think they're best for 2" bits. The 1" bits don't have enough surface area to stay in the rail. I lost two flatheads in one day going up and down ladders.
I got a few sets since this vid dropped, and I really like them. I see a lot of comments about the loop breaking, but that wasn't a big selling point for me. I really like them and will probably get a few more sets to keep in my truck.
I’ve been thinking about the breaking loops and think it might be be that if you use the loop to hold the bit holder while pulling out a bit especially at a higher resistance angle, the look could age and break. But as one commenter mentioned, just tie the Railer to your bag using paracord and a bit hole.
got a few of these last year. I like they way they organize. I dn't put a lot of stress on them as a home gamer. The bitholders are kind of too good for their own good. The chinesium ones you can get in a pack of 12 are probably better, not because they are good, because they suck but you don't want to spend too much on a mini bit holder that is just for dangling. Railer will end up being more premium pricing and so just bit lock holding is gonna outprice them. I learned about those collar bit holders from a maintenance youtube channel and thought, damn that's a great way to hold your go-to bits just like you'd need a bunch of keys to get in the buildings. There's probbaly better ways but these are definitely a decent problem solve given the ubiquity of multi-drivers and screwguns and the inevitability to need more bits.
Run a circular ring through one of the bit holes and attach it to your carabiner. Problem solved via workaround. (BUT, Railer needs to redesign for steength.)
From the manufacturer website: "Warranty Your Railer tools are backed by a limited warranty. Railer Tools warrants that at the time the product is purchased it is free from defects in materials or manufacturing and conforms to Railer’s specifications for the product." That might be the most pathetic warranty I've ever seen on a tool. I think it speaks volumes as to what Railer themselves think of their own durability.
I have several of those Railer rubberized bit holders. The first time I carried one on a carabiner walking down stairs the loop broke. I absolutely do not trust them, the loop is way too thin.
Use a large circular key ring threw one of the bit holes and attach the ring to your carabiner. There are rectangular "rings" with tightener nuts that work even better, but you have to find the right size.
The loop breaks,so use one of the bit holes. It's good otherwise, I keep it on my impact and tool vest
“…mobile solution to dangle your bits.” Lol! Nice double entendre, Doc.
I love these early AM drops.

Those metal bit holders that go on the clip work great. I have some hanging from my tool bag. So convenient 😅

I’ll stick to my Chinese off brand locking holders. Way cheaper and has worked for over a year now without fail.
I really don't think you need a climbing-rated carabiner to carry a couple of screwdriver bits around.
But, having an extra climbing-rated carabiner on hand isn't a bad idea if you have a need for them.
You don't. Totally unnecessary.
I got the railers not expecting much from the bits but they've held up nice.
Try the Railer magnet pads. Would like to know how they compare with the tool truck one.
Check out the 5.11 hardpoint carabiner, they aren't climbing rated but they attach and stay put on the molle web

I could use a carabiner with a 3/8 socket holder for my torque bits.
I just bought their rectangle mag pad. Very happy with it. I'm thinking I bought one of the bit holders but can't remember where it is. lol
The rubber that holds it to the carabiner broke easily only lasted a couple weeks even ripped thru the bit hole
I was wondering about that! Thought it might be metal reinforced under the rubber

I’ve tried their hex bits and it is too difficult to remove a bit because the rubber it is so stiff.
Push the bit out using a screwdriver. No problem.
Anyone have a source for those cheap, rubbery, bit holders that look like they're made of Plasti Dip?
Single row preferred!

Glad someone else said it
