Wera Star Magnetiser / Demagnetiser, 05073403001

Having recently purchased a Stanley FatMax Screwdriver Set, I was disappointed to find that the screwdrivers were not magnetised, so I was pleased to see this gadget appear in my suggested purchases list.Given the price, I figured it was worth a try, though I was initially a little sceptical that it would work well. It was delivered in just a couple of days, and I set about trying it out.I'm happy to report that it works exceptionally well with just a single application (place the screwdriver tip in the notch and withdraw it lengthways), and my entire screwdriver set was magnetised in just a couple of minutes. Demagnetising works just as well - just in case you feel the need at any point.

I have a few precision Wera screwdrivers that I use for rebuilding my vape RTA’s which use very small screws and hex screws that can be a bit fiddly when trying to keep them on the tip of the screwdriver before screwing them down. This little gadget eliminates that problem by magnetising the screwdriver which then can pick up the heads of the screws and keep them in place until you have finished tightening your screws down into position. This item can also demagnetise by simply rubbing the end of the screwdriver on the negative side of the magnetiser. Great quality and useful little device that doesn’t cost much and it makes my job so much easier.

Its a simple product that works. Good value, especially compared to other products on here. Especially with the Prime delivery included most others were about twice the price without the name of Wera to back it up.Obviously has its limitations and the magnetic Field it creates on screwdrivers fades but hay for a little of 4 quid when I bought it it worked a treat getting screws in at arms length after previous frustrations

I've got lots of sets of Wera screwdrivers and this little tool has made them more versatile. Bring able to magnetise the screwdriver end to hold screws in seconds is a massive help in some situations. I didn't think I would use it as much as I do.Fantastic little device and would highly recommend, better than the cheaper ones I've has in the past as they magnetised the screwdriver tip but only very weakly.

Huge fan of Wera tools. Possibly the best screwdrivers available - excellent quality. Have gathered quite a collection now and would definitely recommend this magnetiser/demagnetiser to compliment your drivers (regardless of which brand you own). Simplicity to use and dead handy to have for those jobs when you need the the assistance of a magnetic tip. To demagnetise simply 'wipe' the tip against the opposite face.Nicely made too, like all things Wera. Also affordable. Good addition to the toolkit.

Would have liked a mounting lug/clip to clip to the outside of my tool bag to save having to rummage for it.Thinking of crossing a couple of zip ties - not elegant, but will do the job.But it works reliably - for example, magnetise a 5mm blade X-head driver and hold a 50mm long screw: it’s fine.Also demagnetising works easily with only a couple of wipes.

It does exactly a predicted. However, the shape isn't condusive with a couple of items I needed to re-magnetise, although it did help a little. My fault I suppose?

Magnetized pretty much every precision screwdriver I have, trick is to swipe downwards in one stroke, not up and down like the arrow indicates. Quickly do this 10-15 times and you have yourself a reasonable powerful magnetized screwdriver. The more times you do it the more powerful the magnetism becomes.It can also demagnetize if done on the sides which is pretty nifty but something I haven't really felt the need to test. It's nice and compact so fits in my toolbox without any issues. I like it!
