| 67904 | 2002-08-04 02:02:00 | I like both. The number of times the screws fall off otherwise. And very handy for getting them back when they fall in the guts. Floppies are the only problem, and I tend to use them once and discard so no great loss is one gets wrecked. Remember once some guys put a magnet inside a floppy drive and it corrupted every disk that went in. Schoolkids, eh? robo. |

| 67905 | 2002-08-04 04:13:00 | Magnetic tips are best, but you can [still] drop screws into the works. :_| But if you are paranoid, a blob of Bluetak on the tip makes a very good screw holder. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 67906 | 2002-08-04 07:46:00 | Thanks fellow F1ers. It's just one of things that has been bugging me lately. One person recommeds it and another doesn't. Just like the leaving the computer plugged in thing. |

| 67907 | 2002-08-04 08:53:00 | sorry i should have mentioned there is 2 types of magnetic screwdriver. the ordinary screwdriver that you magnetise and the ones with different scewdriver bits(eg sicruity driver bits) which the magnet holds in place. apart from floppys, no side affects from either. the driver with bits is somewhat fatter and wont fit in tight places. |
