My dear sister asked me how to retrieve a key on a ring that had fallen

magnet.
When I got to the house that night, I was a bit surprised to see her purse
mounted on the side of her front left fender. Boy, was she ****ed about
driving
15 miles home like that! I especially liked the twine tying her purse
shut. I
didn't plan it...HONEST!!!


Assuming you are not giving up trade secrets, why did you buy one that
big?
I can imagine it would suck wire fragments out of certain areas you don't
want them in.

I bought it for an idea that I had that I couldn't use a spring to apply
pressure. The idea was changed and the magnet became a curiosity and is
great for pulling little pieces of wire or swarf from fingers or feet...that
happened a lot.
