Magnetise them yourself

Just stroke the screwdriver repeatedly in one direction over any magnet.
I have both the magnet from the back of a speaker and a couple from a
defunct hard drive for such purposes but any magnet will do


But you do have to wonder why they arent supplied magnetised.
Maybe there isnt enough metal at the tip to be viable with the
smallest tips.
