Magnetic-tipped screwdrivers are extremely handy and make many tasks much easier. Thing of working with screws for small electronics or trying to place screws in hard-to-reach locations. It's much easier when they stick to your screwdriver.

Instead of buying new sets of magnetic tipped screwdrivers, you can magnetize your existing screwdriver using a rare earth magnet or any other large magnet. Simply brush the end of your screwdriver across the magnet a few times, and voila, you've magnetized it! The effect lasts for months or even years, and if they lose their magnetic ability, just swipe them again.
