Would be nice to have a maagnetic screwdriver -- but
I don't.


So buy one. Or buy a screwdriver with retainer clips to hold the
head. *SIMPLE as that!


Good grief. Anybody that passed science class in elementary school can
MAKE a magnetized screwdriver in seconds!

All you need to do is drag the screwdriver tip across a magnet a few
times. Just make sure to drag it in the same direction each time, and
use a strong magnet like one from the back of a speaker.


Holy cow!

We've gone from screwing a can to a shelf to dismantling a sound
system.

Ya gotta love this group!
