In the past, Dave Solberg and I met on Wednesdays for a livestream called Talkin’ RV Tech. We not only answered technical questions, but we also shared what we like to call “cool tools.” These are tools and gadgets that we actually use! We believe they will be helpful to you.
Here’s a clip from one of those videos where we discuss the Magnetizer Demagnetizer for Screwdriver Tips.
What makes the Magnetizer Demagnetizer a cool tool?
• Instantly magnetize or demagnetize steel tools and other small ferrous parts
• Converts any tool blade to a magnetic retriever of screws, nuts and metallic particles
• No batteries or electricity required
• Minimize loss of screws

I have this tool and have magnetized many screwdrivers. I have never wanted to demagnetize a tool. Still not sure where that would be necessary. Someone, please enlighten me.
Thank you for reprising one of the episodes, Dustin! After watching that episode when it originally aired, I bought a magnetizer/demagnetizer. Sadly, mine is blue and not red, but, despite that, it seems to work correctly. 😉 Have a great week and safe travels!
Please be careful if you have a pacemaker. A magnet is what is used to turn it off if necessary.
