Well it does have the advantage of knowing which polarity you have where. It would keep all the magnets the right way for installations. Price is not to bad for a tool either. Shipping would be a killer though. It I picked it up locally or for free shipping then it would be something I would get. In the mean time I will follow CorSecEng and make one. Slick idea! |

Hmmm, looks like it was made out of one of those plastic rods used to adjust window blinds. An easy enough scratchbuild you could do yourself, using any type of hollow rod the right size to mount a magnet in each end. Paint each end a different color and you're set. |

Simple idea but obviously useful. |
