How to : Magnetize a Screwdriver

[woodstockva]

Hey everybody, I just made a quick "How to" video on an easy way to magnetize a screwdriver. I am sure most of you already have a method you prefer to do this, but many others may not realize how easily it is done.

*** I know one common way is to coil a wire around the metal section of the screwdriver, and attaching both sides of the wire to the positive & negative posts on a battery. However, due to the shock hazard, as well as the potential for fire due to leaky batteries + sparks, I wouldnt recommend it. ***

I have one of those also....but given the choice, I would rather buy a $5 magnetic parts tray that serves 2 purposes....magnetizing my screwdrivers and holding nuts/bolts/washers/sockets when I am working on a car.

Thanks for watching!
