A bit holder assembly for a rotary hand or powered tool, includes a body having a hex shank at its rearward end and a retraction collar slidably disposed on the body. The body has a coaxial hex socket formed therein to allow a tool bit to be inserted thereinto. A coil spring biases the retraction collar forwardly and biases a retaining clip toward the bottom of an angular slot formed in the body. The bit is removed by sliding the retraction collar rearwardly, to compress the coil spring and allow the retaining clip to retract back up the slot. A ring magnet is disposed at the forward end of the retraction collar to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the bit.

1. A bit holder assembly for a rotary tool, comprising: a body having a shank at its rearward end and a coaxial socket formed at a second end to allow a tool bit to be inserted therein, said body having an opening formed in the body in communication with said socket;a retraction collar slidably disposed on said body and having a forward end extending axially forward of said second end of said body;a coil spring biasing the retraction collar forwardly;a retainer held in a bottom of said opening formed in the body by one of said retraction collar and said coil spring, wherein said tool bit is removed by sliding the retraction collar rearwardly, to compress the coil spring and allow the retainer to retract back up the opening; anda ring magnet is disposed at and supported directly on said forward end of the retraction collar to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the tool bit. 2. The bit holder assembly according to claim 1, wherein the ring magnet is attached directly to said retraction collar. 3. The bit holder assembly according to claim 1, wherein said opening in the body is an angular slot formed in the body and said coil spring biases said retainer toward a bottom of said angular slot. 4. A bit holder assembly for a rotary tool, comprising: a body having a shank at its rearward end and a coaxial socket formed at a second end to allow a tool bit to be inserted therein, said body having an opening formed in the body in communication with said socket;a retraction collar slidably disposed on said body;a coil spring biasing the retraction collar forwardly;a retainer held in a bottom of said opening formed in the body by one of said retraction collar and said coil spring, wherein said tool bit is removed by sliding the retraction collar rearwardly, to compress the coil spring and allow the retainer to retract back up the opening; anda ring magnet is disposed at a forward end of the retraction collar to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the tool bit, wherein said ring magnet is attached to a forward collar received on and movable with said retraction collar. 5. The bit holder assembly according to claim 4, wherein said forward collar is slidably received directly on said retraction collar. 6. The bit holder assembly according to claim 4, wherein said forward collar is removably received directly on said retraction collar. 7. A pivoting driving tool assembly, comprising: a drive component, including a shaft having a driving shank provided on one end thereof, said driving shank having a non-circular cross-section defined by at least three curved sidewalls;a driven component including a first end having a non-circular cavity pivotally connected to the drive component and a second end having a hexagonal aperture;a locking mechanism movable between a disengaged and an engaged position for lockingly engaging the driven component to be in co-axial alignment with the drive component;a tool bit received in said hexagonal aperture; anda ring magnet disposed at said second end of the driven component to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the tool bit, wherein said ring magnet is attached to a floating sleeve attached to said driven component, said floating sleeve being slidably mounted on an end of said driven component and spaced from said locking mechanism. 8. A tool bit, comprising: a shaft having a shank at a first end and a working region disposed at a second end, said shaft having a shaft section between said shank and said working region having a reduced diameter region disposed between two shoulders, the reduced diameter region providing a torsion zone that allows the shaft section to twist to absorb forces while the tool bit is being used to drive a fastener; anda ring magnet assembly movably disposed at said second end of said shaft to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the working region of the tool bit, wherein said ring magnet assembly comprises a rubber cup having a flange portion that engages said reduced diameter region of said shaft between said two shoulders. 9. A tool bit, comprising: a shaft having a shank at a first end and a working region disposed at a second end, said shaft having a shaft section between said shank and said working region having a reduced diameter region disposed between two shoulders, the reduced diameter region providing a torsion zone that allows the shaft section to twist to absorb forces while the tool bit is being used to drive a fastener; anda ring magnet assembly movably disposed at said second end of said shaft to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the working region of the tool bit, wherein said ring magnet assembly comprises a sliding sleeve that includes at least one opening therein that receives a retainer ring that is received in said opening in said sliding sleeve and between the two shoulders on opposite sides of said reduced diameter region to retain said sliding sleeve on said shaft. 10. A tool bit, comprising: a shaft having a shank at a first end and a working region disposed at a second end, said shaft having a shaft section between said shank and said working region having a reduced diameter region disposed between two shoulders, the reduced diameter region providing a torsion zone that allows the shaft section to twist to absorb forces while the tool bit is being used to drive a fastener; anda ring magnet assembly movably disposed at said second end of said shaft to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the working region of the tool bit, wherein said ring magnet assembly comprises a sliding sleeve that is retained on said shaft by one or more balls that is received in a hole in said sliding sleeve and between the two shoulders on opposite sides of said reduced diameter region. 11. The tool bit according to claim 10, wherein said one or more balls is retained in said hole by a sheet metal spring that partially surrounds said sliding sleeve. 12. A tool bit, comprising: a shaft having a polygonal shank at a first end and a working head region disposed at a second end and extending to a shoulder that separates the working head region from the shank; anda ring magnet movably disposed at said second end of said shaft to magnetize a fastener to retain the fastener to the working head region of the tool bit, wherein said working head region includes a recessed groove therein for receiving a retainer ring therein, said ring magnet being supported by a sleeve that is retained on said shaft by said retainer ring.
