New Tool ! Magnetic Tool Holder from Matco !!

But, PV to the rescue. A neat little gadget that both magnetizes and demagnetizes for the small tools. This came with my Wiha tool set during a combo sale.

You don't want to hit the ground for instance which can result in taking out a plug. I now have a amp meter which immediately tells me the plug is good or bad and the last thing I want to do is fiddle in a pitbox for a glow plug. I want to mount a magnetic bar on the side of the box and use this for plugs, prop wrenches, etc. I also could place the prop nut and washer on it in the event of a prop change. I can't tell you how many prop nuts I lost in the grass. Lately, I started painting them day glo yellow and orange. Ken
