Magnetic Nut Holder

(1/2) > >>

J.A.F.E.:
For those of you with steel nuts this might be just the trick. It will hold a nut in a wrench while you snake it around things. I know, fingers can do the same thing, and a little paper can jam the nut as well just a different approach. NAPA also sells this for about $6 but it's their house brand. It seems to sell for 5-16 online. Snap-on not surprisingly is at the 16 end.

bonneyman:
Nice idea! Can always use another tool!

I've used electrical or metal tape over the years to hold nuts in wrenches. Although dropping the used metal tape near electrical components could prove a problem.

P.S. Yikes! $15 on Amazon. Guess I should try and fashion one out of a magnet and scrap steel myself.

skfarmer:
i have had one for years. they work quite well.

fatfillup:
Have one also.  Rarely remember to use it.  Also have a one finger glove with a magnet on the finger tip.  Works ok

goodfellow:
I made a few different bendy configurations over the years - mostly made out scrap bracket material that I had laying around.
