{"product_id":"633-magnetizer-demagnetizer","title":"Magnetizer\/Demagnetizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eA magnetized screwdriver tip is the difference between a five-second screw replacement and a five-minute hunt for a dropped screw inside a frame. The Magnetizer\/Demagnetizer is the small tool that makes that difference, and it's the kind of thing most shops don't buy until they wish they had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe block has two openings: the one marked + magnetizes a steel screwdriver tip, the one marked – demagnetizes it. Push the screwdriver through the + opening once and the tip will hold a #2 Phillips, a Torx T25, or a small flat-blade screw against gravity. Push the same tip through the – opening with a light wipe along the inner wall, and the magnetism comes off cleanly. The screwdriver doesn't have to be ours; any standard hardened steel tip works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnetization isn't permanent, which is the point. In a normal shop environment the magnetism holds for weeks, long enough to install or remove a tray of small bolts. In a strong magnetic environment (working near an e-bike battery, near a motor stator, near an electric cabinet) the field demagnetizes the tip faster. Push it back through the + opening and reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen you'll reach for it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalling or replacing small flat-head or Phillips screws on shifters, brake levers, derailleur bodies; anywhere the screw is a half-meter from the workbench and three centimeters from a chain stay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecovering a dropped screw that's gone into the bottom of a frame's bottle-cage cavity or into a fork's brake-arch recess\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicking up small metal pieces (clip washers, retaining rings, broken pin fragments) from inside a workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemagnetizing a screwdriver that's been working near a motor and is now too magnetic to use on a near-magnetic fastener (rare but real)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetizer and demagnetizer in one block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with any standard hardened steel screwdriver or bit tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticle number: 633\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt in Zreče, Slovenia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams.
