Wiha 40010 | Magnetizer Demagnetizer , Black

Magnetizing Made Simple – Handy Little Tool for Any ToolboxThe Wiha 40010 Magnetizer/Demagnetizer is one of those deceptively simple gadgets that ends up being used far more often than you’d expect. I grabbed it to help with small electronics and household repair projects, and it’s quickly become a staple in my toolbox.What I like most is how straightforward it is. Need your screwdriver tip to hold onto tiny screws? Just a quick pass through the magnetizer side and you’re set. When you don’t want a magnetic tip—like when working near sensitive electronics—the demagnetizer side does the job. It’s small enough to toss into a pocket or a corner of a toolbox, but it feels solid and well-made, like most Wiha tools I’ve used.The magnetizing function works instantly and reliably, and the charge seems to last a good while. The demagnetizing function can be a little less intuitive at first, but with a slow pull through the notched side, it works as intended. There are no moving parts, no batteries, and nothing to break—just a block of durable plastic with a strong internal magnet system.Something to keep in mind: the size might be smaller than you’d expect from the photos, but that’s actually a plus for portability. Also, if you’re trying to demagnetize something very strongly magnetized, it might take a couple of passes.Bottom line: A cheap, compact tool that pays for itself the first time it keeps a screw from falling into a hard-to-reach spot. For anyone who works with hand tools—even just occasionally—this is a smart little addition to the kit.

It does work well, just make sure you do it correctly!It's very easy to do, but it assumes you need no instructions - which is untrue.Do it wrong and you'll feel cheated - send it back - be angry - kick the dog - yell at the kids - and make everyone in the house glad when you finally go back to work...So here it is, do it right and you'll be pleased.With the finesse of a highly skilled surgeon, about to make a killing on another disgusting gallbladder,1. Slowly, very cautiously, with great pomp and circumstance, drama, and an eye for detail, Insert the desired tool to be magnetized, into the POSITIVE side of the magnetizer. This should be a relatively protracted process lasting as close as possible, 9.35471 seconds and not exceeding 11.64528 seconds.The second part is even more important than part one. So pay very close attention. Follow every point to the utmost, as if your life depended upon your success.2. Go to the kitchen, refresh yourself with 6.5 ounces of chilled water to the temperature of 37.3 degrees. Consume quickly, but deliberately, focusing on the task ahead. Dry hands thoroughly, fold towel and place in the laundry.Slowly, with handle of the screwdriver (or other device to be magnetized) at an angle of 46 degrees from the horizontal plane, withdraw the tool over a period of precisely 12.32764 seconds, holding your breath the entire time and standing on your left foot, with your right foot exactly 4 inches off the ground.Take a deep breath 4 times, exhaling slowly and methodically.Thank the Lord for another successful procedure gone well, without complications or casualties.For those of you who prefer less precision, do the following.Slowly insert the desired tool to be magnetized into the positive side over a few seconds, then withdraw the tool over the same amount of time. Chances are good that you'll have the amount of magnetization you're looking for. If not, do it again! Repeat as needed.Enjoy!!And thank the Lord that the process wasn't any more difficult than it really is...

Works fine

Magnetizer part works great.Demagnetizer doesn't work.

When I was a young, I remember my dad showing me how to use a strong magnet to magnetize non-magnetized screwdrivers. It took a fair amount of time, and the end result was a screwdriver that wasn't very strongly magnitized. Thus, my hopes for this device were not super high. Nonetheless, the reviews were extremely positive, so I decided to give it a shot.I'm so glad I did! This is a very, very cool device. It's utterly amazing how quickly the bits can be magnetized and demagnetized. Even a very quick, single pass can adequately magnetize the tip of a screwdriver. Similarly, if the screwdriver didn't spend a long amount of time in the magnetizing slot, a very quick pass will similarly demagnitize it. After researching a bit, I learned what the steps in the demagnetize slot are for. When a device is more strongly magnetized, you are supposed to start your tool on the highest step, then slowly work your way down to the bottom (I find slowly rotating it during this is also helpful). It seems to do a great job demagnetize things that were magnetized with this device. However, I do suspect that some tools that came magnetized from the factory will require a stronger electrical degaussing coil (you can buy or even make one pretty easily, if you have this need.)As for fit and finish, this device is very high quality, as one would expect from Wiha, yet is priced surprisingly affordably.As far as its ability to securly affix itself to metal surfaces: Some people have said the magnets are strong enough to hold the device firmly to metal surfaces, while others that say they are not not. I must report that the one I received is in the "not" camp. It was unable to hold itself securely when I tried it on a toolbox and on the refrigerator; it just slid right down. Not really a huge deal to me, but it is worth noting.

talk about the item you never knew you needed till you got it. This is that item. Bits, Screwdrivers, anything you need or want magnetized and demagnetized. Perfect sized to have around. Sturdy. Well worth the price. Handy

Todo como esperaba.

Work s well

Work just great

Recientemente compré un desarmador de una marca de renombre y me sorprendió que no viniera magnetizado, lo cual me causaría problemas al momento de trabajar con el. Después de investigar un poco di con varios productos similares y me incliné más por esta marca (Wiha) que es sinónimo de calidad en herramientas de presicion.Funciona como magia, solamente hay que introducir el desarmador en el rectángulo que dice "magnetize" un par de veces y tendrás una herramienta magnetizada.El único contra que le puedo encontrar es el color, pero eso ya es subjetivo.

Product works as described
