To remove the effect just turn the magnet 90 degrees and do it again.
The stronger the magnet you use the more effective it will be. Also longer screwdrivers will be more effective.
Same thing works for extensions, knives, wrenches.
Funny story on that one, i magnetized all the butter knives in the drawer to mess with my wife.

Shame on you! and nice tip (pun intended), I think I used to know this and with all the other stuff in there, well I guess there wasn't enuff room! I was wishing I had a magnetic Phillips head recently. And I was certainly happy to see that 'fifty' on my '17's wheel. You don't have to get a 50th Edition for a little reminder of the car's history.
Keep the FYI's coming guys and thanks for the trivial pursuit answers in advance too!
