Socket Bit 1/4" Hex Magnetic 5/16" x 65 mm — Makita P-06024

Makita Socket Bit 1/4" Hex Magnetic 5/16" x 65 mm (Makita P-06024) is a magnetic 1/4" hex driver bit with a 5/16" (≈7.94 mm) tip and a 65 mm shaft length. It is designed to fit standard 1/4" hex chucks and bit holders for use with cordless and corded drivers. The magnetic tip secures screws and fasteners during insertion, improving handling and reducing the risk of dropped fasteners on assembly, carpentry, and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The magnetic tip provides reliable retention of fasteners, simplifying one-handed operation and minimizing the need to reposition screws. The 65 mm length gives extra reach for recessed or semi-hidden screw locations while remaining compact enough for tight spaces. Compatible with standard 1/4" hex driver interfaces, the bit is suitable for general fastening work and integrates easily with common Makita drivers and bit holders.

Suitable for

• General assembly and furniture installation
• Carpentry and joinery tasks
• Maintenance and repair work with 1/4" hex drivers
• Situations requiring magnetic retention of screws

Key specifications

• Shank type: 1/4" hex
• Tip size: 5/16" (≈7.94 mm)
• Overall length: 65 mm
• Tip characteristic: magnetic
• Material: hardened driver steel (manufacturer-standard construction)

How to use

Insert the 1/4" hex shank into a compatible driver or bit holder until it locks in place. Place the magnetic tip against the screw head to hold it and start fastening at low speed to ensure proper seating. Increase speed as needed while maintaining steady pressure. For removal, set the driver to reverse and back the fastener out while keeping the magnetic tip aligned to retain the screw.

Usage recommendations

Use with drivers that accept 1/4" hex bits and select appropriate torque settings for the screw and material to avoid stripping. Inspect the bit tip regularly for wear or damage and replace the bit if the magnetic retention or tip profile is compromised.
