Used to love these little magnetizer tools, but last couple times I used mine, I couldn't magnetize it very well. Anybody else have this problem?

Really frustrated me because I hate having magnetized items when not needed. Can mess with some electronics plus attracts rust/shavings obviously..

Just noticed my post was incorrect. I meant I could not DEmagetize tools.

Yeah. If used them lightly on some edge connectors or pads when an eraser etc isn't enough. Not too often and not on switch contacts etc as there are many good options and those finerglass sticks are a little pricey if I remember (compaired to other options).

Definitely handy to have around though. Last time I used one was on the car stereo on the connectors for removable faceplate that was getting flakey.

It is fiberglass, so watch the dust from them. Probably not good for eyes lungs, skin, etc.

Well...as long as your using the smart straw version.

Its the tunes on top that makes it all work the best

Next on the tool list

We used to use "orange sticks" all the time when I did tech work on LCD panels because orange wood was very soft and didn't scratch panels up. We actually bought large boxes of them. They are used at nail salons for cuticals etc.

Im betting harder bamboo sticks would work for this application fine.
