The magnets we have a work are pretty powerful. They vary from 1.5 Teslas to 7 Teslas.

You stick something to them, you will never get it off.

Get yourself a telescopic magnet, most powerful one you can find on E-Bay. Comes in very handy for fishing out dropped nuts etc Also works for fishing shims out of buckets on later bikes.

Thank you Oddjob, that's almost identical to the one that I retreived it with!
