hawkeye10 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I use the hick out of these magnets. Any large tool that has tools like wrenches and clamps I stick them on the side of the tool with earth magnets. I have several on my table saw and the allen wrenches I need to adjust the guides on the band saw. Now that I am doing scroll sawing I keep the most needed drill bits handy attached to the drill press with these magnets. I buy them on Ebay from China so they are pretty cheap. I look for a seller that has a lot of sales and over 99% positive feedback. If they have less than 99% feedback I don't fool with them. So far so good.

Also had them in the oil pan in auto gear boxes. It's a bit messy if you need a magnet for the workshop . Rob Roy Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 There are some great magnets in old microwaves. Just don't get two of them close together with your finger in between. Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have some small earth magnets in my shop that I used on a small fret heart that my wife had hanging on the wall and mentioned that she wished it was a frame. so I lued a couple of earth magnets on the back of the fet piece and put a photo .(cut to shape) and used other magnets to hold the photo in place. worked like a charm Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea Roly, but if you put a pencil with a magnet in it behind your ear does it not WIPE your MEMORY . Rob Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory is stuck to the fridge door with a hard drive magnet, like the one you've got holding your hammer. . Rob Roy.
