Dewalt DW2221B Magnetic Socket Driver 1/4 in X 2-9/16 in

Product Description

The DEWALT DW2221B is a magnetic socket driver designed for screw driving applications in professional trade work. The bit measures 1/4 inch in hex shank diameter and 2-9/16 inches in overall length, giving it the reach needed for recessed fasteners and deeper drive applications. The integrated magnet holds screw heads securely during placement, reducing drops and improving single-handed control. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors use this bit type daily on the job site when driving hex-head screws, sheet metal screws, and similar fasteners.

This socket driver suits a wide range of trade and light construction applications. It is compatible with standard 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck systems found on cordless and corded power drills, impact-rated drivers, and screw guns. The 2-9/16 inch length provides additional clearance in tight or obstructed installation areas, making it well suited for panel work, equipment enclosures, and ductwork fastening where a standard-length bit falls short.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard quick-change drill and driver chucks
• 2-9/16 inch overall length for extended reach in tight spaces
• Integrated magnet retains screw heads during placement and driving
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.07 pounds for reduced fatigue during repetitive use
• Sold individually — suitable for single replacement or supplementing existing bit sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch hex shank socket driver compatible with any drill, cordless driver, or screw gun equipped with a 1/4 inch quick-change or keyed hex chuck.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by hand using the tool's chuck or quick-release mechanism — no tools required for bit changes. Ensure the tool is powered off or the battery is removed before swapping bits on cordless equipment. Use with a variable-speed driver to avoid overdriving fasteners, particularly in sheet metal or thin-gauge materials. Inspect the magnet and tip for wear periodically, as a damaged tip can cause cam-out and fastener damage.
