Drywall screw attachment - so nearly perfect

I bought one of these a month or so because it was on offer.  I was extremely impressed with how it worked.  I do not do much drywalling so it doesn't justify a drywall screwdriver.  The problem with it is that the screwdriver holder keeps dropping out.  It is constructed with a fixed screwdriver bit holder and then into this sits another much shorter screwdriver bit holder.  What happens is the shorter holder keeps dropping out of the fixed holder especially if you use posidrive screws (the actual screwdriver bit tend to lock into the screw head).  The connection between these two holders is very poor - a ring holder and possibly magnetic).

The solution of course is easy - just apply a bit of glue.  Annoying though that you need to do this.  There really should be a one-part holder.  Anyone else have this problem?

I just got a couple of the depth-stops, I've not had your problem but the screwdriver tip does seem to pull out from time to time. Overall I like this accessory but I don't like the that the screwdriver tip wobbles, it can make it harder to drive the screws straight. 
 
Strange - I've never had any problem with the attachment or the bit - use it for small "drywall" jobs where I can't be bothered to get out my drywall driver - which is a pain because it is corded - and otherwise when driving lots of screws into cheap carcases.  Maybe yours is faulty?
