electromagnet tool?

[erkishhorde]

I dunno why but for some reason today I was thinking about electromagnets and was wondering if anybody makes an electromagnet for your toolbox. Ya know how sometimes you drop a screw in a tiny little hole and your magnet keeps getting stuck on the sides/ rim of the hole and making it a pain to get in and out. With an electromagnet you could at least get into the hole easier while it's off and then turn it on to fish out whatever you dropped.

Anybody know if such a product exists? If not, I call dibs on patent.

maybe better in tech?

Iono, tools - tech, tools - gear? I'll let you decide.

well when u turn it on, wouldnt u have the same issues pull it out as u had putting it in?

if u get a Neodymium magnet and wrap out the outside with a thick layer of rubber (the strength of the field weakens by a square factor the further u get from it) u wont have any of those problems.
