Magnetic hex tool

[Jonwolf]

Hi chaps

I already own a set of hex tools for removing screws from under playfield and on plastics but it is not magnetic.
I'm spending more time looking for screws than fitting/removing them. That depressing rattle as a nut or screw cascades its way deep into the machine is starting to affect my bloody mental health ;-)
Can anyone recommend a good all in one magnetic set? I don't know the various sizes I need - just a set that meets the needs of pinball

Update - is there such a set with all the fittings that include fittings for torx/security torx/hex/allen/phillips/slot etc etc
ie. Everything?
Oh and magnetic, and with extender to get to hard to reach places
Oh, and ratchet too - I can live without inbuilt torch ;-)

You could also buy a small powerful magnet and stick it to handle end of screwdriver. This will magnetise tip.

This is what I use at home.

I used this method just last week to put back a hard to reach screw on a TAF at a friends.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

It could also just be I'm too cheap to buy the right stuff, as anyone who has ever looked in my tool box will tell you.

I thought I was the only one with no tools

Mine are worth hundreds each, the majority of them are actually surgical instruments.
You've just not got to think about where they've been in the past!
