Secured to the shaft of the present invention is a body member that is cylindrical in shape having a first end and a second end. Proximate the first end is an opening providing access to the cavity wherein the cavity has an inner wall formed to mateably engage a fastener head. The body includes a void intermediate a bottom plate member and a rear wall wherein the void houses a movable magnet assembly. The magnet assembly includes a portion external to the body accessible by a user wherein the user can move the magnet assembly between a first and second position. A movement member controls the movement of the magnet assembly. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary power tool wherein the driver bit comprises: a shaft member, said shaft member being elongated in form having a first end and a second end, said shaft member having a first end and a second end; a body member, said body member being cylindrical in shape, said body member having a first end and a second end, said body member having an opening proximate said first end thereof providing access to a cavity, said cavity having an inner wall formed to mateably engage a fastener head, said cavity having a bottom plate member distal to said opening; and a magnet assembly, said magnet assembly movably coupled to said body member, said magnet assembly movable between a first position and a second position, said magnet assembly having a portion being magnetic material, said magnet assembly having a portion thereof proximate the bottom plate member in said first position of said magnet assembly. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary power tool as recited in claim 1, wherein in said second position said magnet assembly is moved away from said bottom plate member. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary power tool as recited in claim 2, wherein said magnet assembly includes a portion external to said body member, said portion of said magnet assembly external to said body member configured to be engaged by a user so as to move said magnet assembly from said first position to said second position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary power tool as recited in claim 3, and further including a movement member, said movement member operably coupled to said body member and said magnet assembly, said movement member configured to move said magnet assembly between said first position and said second position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary power tool as recited in claim 4, wherein said body member further includes a void, said void being intermediate said bottom plate member and said second end of said body member, said movement member being disposed in said void. ### Claim 6 A driver bit configured to be operably coupled to a rotary tool wherein the driver bit is configured to engage a fastener head and wherein the driver bit comprises: a shaft member, said shaft member being elongated in form having a first end and a second end, said shaft member having a first end and a second end; a body member, said body member being cylindrical in shape, said body member having a first end and a second end, said body member having an opening proximate said first end thereof providing access to a cavity, said cavity having an inner wall formed to mateably engage a fastener head, said cavity having a bottom plate member distal to said opening, said body member further having a void, said void of said body member being intermediate said bottom plate member and a rear wall proximate said second end of said body member, said rear wall further including at least two apertures bored therethrough; and a magnet assembly, said magnet assembly movably coupled to said body member, said magnet assembly movable between a first position and a second position, said magnet assembly having a first ring member and a second ring member, said first ring member and said second ring member having at least two rod members operably coupling said first ring member and said second ring member, said first ring member being movably disposed within said void of said body member, said second ring member being located adjacent to said body member proximate said second end of said body member; and wherein said first ring member is adjacent said bottom plate member in the first position of said magnet assembly. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 6, wherein said first ring member further includes a center void, said center void of said first ring member having a magnet member secured therein. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 7, and further including a movement member, said movement member being disposed within said void of said body member intermediate said rear wall and said first ring member, said movement member operable to move the magnet assembly between said first position and said second position. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 8, wherein said first ring member is distal to said bottom plate member in said second position of said magnet assembly. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 9, wherein said inner wall of said cavity of said body member is hexagonal in form. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 10, wherein said second ring member further includes an outer peripheral edge wall, said outer peripheral edge wall being angular in form. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 11, wherein said movement member is a spring. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The bit configured to be operably coupled to the rotary tool as recited in claim 12, wherein said at least two rod members are journaled through said at least two apertures of said rear wall and movable therethrough.
