The Wiha Magnetiser/Demagnetiser (5063750552606) is an essential tool for professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts who rely on precision screwdriver blades, tweezers, and small steel implements. Its primary benefit is the ability to instantly add or remove magnetic properties from metal tips, preventing dropped screws in tight spaces; however, note that it is strictly limited to magnetising steel and will not work on non-ferrous metals like aluminum or stainless steel.

Generally no. Most stainless steel is non-magnetic or only weakly magnetic and will not hold a charge from this device.
No, this is a passive tool that uses a permanent magnet; it requires no electricity or batteries.
Yes, pass the blade through the demagnetising section of the tool to neutralize the field.
The charge typically lasts until the tool is demagnetised or exposed to extreme heat or impact.
While the magnetic field is localized, it is recommended to keep it away from credit cards, hard drives, and pacemakers.
Ensure the tool is made of magnetic steel and pass it through the 'magnetise' channel firmly rather than tapping it.
Check if the tool tip has been contaminated with oils or dirt; clean the tool before re-magnetising.
Periodically clean the exterior and interior channels of the block using a soft brush or compressed air.
This device requires no setup or electrical power, making it ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with most carbon steel and tool-steel implements. To maintain optimal performance, keep the device free of metallic dust and debris by occasionally wiping it with a dry, clean cloth. Avoid dropping the unit on concrete surfaces, as heavy impacts can potentially affect the internal alignment of the magnet. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the housing or interior components.
