Jim,

That is one point where we differ.  I do not want a magnetic tip on my 
workbench - anywhere.  It attracts things like cutoff leads and is just 
a nuisance to me.

I do like the magnetic driver insert tips (and a power driver) for my 
woodworking activities, but not for electronic assembly.

A *good* phillips screwdriver will hold a screw sufficiently with a 
finger held lightly against the screw head.  For those 'long reach' 
places, I move the assembly so the screwdriver remains horizontal and 
the screw does not fall off.

Different strokes for different folks.

73,
Don W3FPR
