Magnetic solution..

<< < (3/3)

mike the bike:
I've got a gadget that magnetises screwdrivers.  Screws stay on the end, not the stainless ones though.

matthewmosse:
Magnet on a telescopic stick is handy but invariably sticks to some other bigger lump of metal and fails to pick up the bolt or nut you want it to. I bought one of those inspection cameras on a flexible shaft from lidl that includes a magnet, various hooks and grabs for retrieving dropped nuts and bolts etc from tight spaces, haven't had to use it yet though, it was handy for diagnosing dead pistons on 2t garden machines though, camera in though the plug hole,  get a decent look at the bore and piston crown, nice to confirm the issue in very little time.
Lidl was also the source of a gadget I have to magnetise and de magnetise screwdrivers, probably the more useful when I remember I have it.

Sesman:
I used on of these to help assemble my top end. Some of those head bolts are quite deep. The magnetic end held both washer and nut….brilliant. Also also useful for retrieving the cam chain.

Besides the large ones (as shown above) I love that little bugger with just 3mm diameter...
