I have that set and it is fantastic. Very well built and all the sockets are snug on the shaft preventing rattle. Another use for this is to remove all the sockets and the shaft makes a great magnetic pick-up tool for small hardware you might drop down into your project.

Get the Klein 32303 multi-bit 14-in-1 adjustable length screwdriver and put this shaft and nut drivers on it. Makes a great all-in-one carry for your bag. Take the "leftover" handle from this and the shaft from the 32303 for your most commonly needed bit (I have a #2 combo bit - excellent for electrical receptacle screws).

The Malco socket sit on that RIM it definitely a factor in keeping your magnet intact, if your using impact tool all day long. The Klein design is more suited for light duty screwdriver, it offers more configurations. I pair it with Wiha ESD centrofix handle, smaller and no play.

The fact that you can take the sockets off means that if the magnet falls off, you can easily loctite superglue a new one. Not a perfect solution but magnets are dirt cheap and some tools will just lend themselves to wear and tear over time no matter what.
