Do not use a magnetic screwdriver in small delicate workings. The screwdriver also magnetises the part you are working on and this can cause problems down the road. Magnetic screwdrivers are fine for screws because if fine metallic particles are attracted to the screw, they will not cause any damage. Small parts or bearings that rub against other parts can wear excessively or jam if metallic particles are attracted to them. In my business we use magnetic screwdrivers on dash or body screws but not on internal engine, transmission, etc parts. A small warning from a slightly paranoid guy. John "You talking to me?" Collier >> You're damn right John , but what else could I do ? I tried at least 50 times to rebuild the thing . Tomorrow I'lm meeting the Leica man and I will pass the 35 summicron to him for a good CLA. What it your business ? you said you're builing engines ? I'm building Drag race small block Chevy as a Hobby. I always install a big magnet in the lifter valley , just to catch the debris from rollers and so on .
