You really think a magnet is gonna beat gravity when you fumble a handful of screws off a ladder? I've watched guys with those bands still drop bits in the grass and spend ten minutes on their knees with a flashlight. The real trick is just keeping your screws in a cup or your pouch pocket close by, no gimmick needed. Twelve bucks buys you a coffee and a sandwich, and neither one makes you look like you're wearing a fitness tracker on the job.

My buddy borrowed my torque wrench once and I found out he used it as a hammer to tap a brake rotor off. That was the day I learned some tools are just too sacred to share, lol. Now I keep a spare cheapo one just for the neighbors.

How long did it take before you trusted the wrench fully?
