Is That a Magnet in Your Pocket ?

[clamdigger]

Any time that I replace a shower curtain I remove the 1 inch disc magnets from the bottom hem and recycle the curtain as a drop cloth. I keep one of the magnets in the watch pocket of my jeans. I use it when checking out bikes. Is that a steel frame or fork,alloy rims,stainless spokes ? etc Also good for picking up small parts.Does anyone else here carry a small magnet ?

Not a magnet but people laugh because I carry a small cresent wrench in my pocket. Funny how often I use it.

How do you carry a speaker magnet in your pocket?

Im almost sure that car (hot rods) buyers carry magnets around to see if its an all steel body or fiberglass. Also it can check for bondo. Correct me if im wrong :wink:

If I go anywhere that might have bicycles for sale (goodwill,antique store, etc) I carry a large adjustable wrench and a tie down strap so that if I find anything interesting I can fit it in the car.

Not in my pocket, but I attach small industrial magnets to my downtubes so my bike will trip traffic lights. Learned the trick from local Vespa club. Works like a charm.
