The other day I was trying to screw in some 3″ robertsons (square drives) into the back of a cabinet but the screws kept falling off the bit. In some of the shorter upper cabinets it was impossible to get both hands and the screw gun into place
So it got me thinking, why could’nt they use the battery of the screw gun to bolster the magnetic tip? Kind of like the electro-magnets we used to make in trade school. You would just hit an accessory buttom to supercharge the tip when you need it

Sounds like a good idea.
I have a magnetic bit holder that is often helpful in that situation. The magnet helps to hold the bit in and magnetizes it too.
I also recently bought a 14.4 volt Bosch Compact Drill/Driver that is great for installing small cabinets.
I also use the GRK star drive cabinet screws they use a Torx 15 bit. I really like them.
Not as slick as your idea, but this might be something to check out:

You can buy the magnetic ring separately from Mcfeelys for about 10 bucks. It has a lot of magnetic force- really holds screws on the bit.
was thinking about this today, a electric palm sander that moves like hand sanding. back and forth, not vibrate, not belt , not rotary but smooth back and forth. it be great on trim that has a profile.
As long as it isn't like the PC Profile sander...tried one of those... ugh.
I would like a saw that could cut right up to the edge and have depth control for cutting fascia, without having to pry it out or strip off the other cornice.
