Introduction: Magnetic Wristband
We all know magnets have magical properties. They are bipolar mystical phenomena with invisible forces all around them.
This poor´s man magnetic wristband can be a life/time saver when working with screws and nails. It´s much safer than holding stuff in your mouth, specially when handling tools.
Step 1: Materials & Tools
Materials:
• 80´s sweat wristband. You know you have one laying around.
• Fridge magnet. One fast food joint phone number less. 99 to go.
• Little round magnets scrapped from stuff around the house.
Tools:
• Scissors
• Contact Glue
Step 2: Gluing and Cuting Open
Glue the round magnets to the fridge magnet. While the glue is drying, cut open about an inch of the 80´s sweat wristband
Step 3: Slide the Magnet Dance
When everything is dry, slide the magnets into the wristband
If you want to go full ghetto style, staple the opening. You can also sew, but more metal is always better.
Step 4: Never Loose Your Screws Again
Now drop some screws on your magnetic wrist

It crossed my mind, but the ones I had were already used in another project and I dont think is worth to hold nails and screws.
