Magnetic tools

Laverda Dave:
Does anyone have any tips of how to remove the magnetism from tools? I've just spent 30 minutes trying to locate a 2.5mm e-clip back into the kill switch. Every tool from my tool box appears to now be magnetic, great for picking the clip up but useless trying to place it!
It appears over the years small things like screwdrivers and pliers have somehow become magnetised. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Bryanj:
I have seen, but can't remember where, a plastic block with magnets in it that magnetizes a screwdriver passed one way through and de-magnetizes it if passed the other way through

Seabeowner:
No idea if it works. And maybe only for small items.

I was going to suggest a/c coil or maybe heat to reduce it.

Bryanj:
That's the one I saw but somewhere other than Screwfix, don't matter its the same thing. Also don't know if it works but not horrendous cost to find out.

EDIT found it on CPC Farnell where I have an account---£1.98 inc vat but then postage on top, if you want one next time I order I will get you one and post it on for cost

Laverda Dave:
Great, thanks Bryan, I'll take you up on that offer. PM me when the time comes and I'll sort the payment.
Dave
