Hex bit holder problem

[Chris Green]

I have three or four bit holders similar to this one:-

One of them releases the bit by pulling the sleeve back towards the drill that it's mounted in, the others release the bit by pulling the sleeve away from the drill.

I find the 'pull it towards the drill' type *much* easier to use as it can be done by the hand that's holding the drill. OK others may disagree but this is what works for me.

I want to buy a couple more that work the same way as the one I like but how do I find out whether they do? I have not a clue where I bought the ones I have now and anyway I certainly didn't record which was which! :-)

So any pointers to ones which work the way I want would be very welcome. (I'm pretty sure that Wera ones work the wrong way for me).

I can only help you by narrowing it down - both the Erbauer you linked and the Wera 889/4/1 K Universal Rapidaptor both work by pushing the collar away from the drill. Which I quite like as it goes - hold the chuck in one hand and use thumb and forefinger to push and release.

My older version of this Bosch 32 Bit Set

is "pull" -- but a review says "push"?

I'd agree - I also have both types .... pull towards is more intuitive.
