Just have to remember to de-magnetize the tools if you are
going to use them on electronic components

What electronic components are affected by using magnetic tools?
We used to have to take care around magnetic tape heads, but
unless you are working on tape (or cassette) recorders, I can't
think of any real danger of using magnetized tools?



The only thing affected by magnetism is magnetic media and heads. Nothing
else will be damaged by normal magnets, though CRT's, compases and hall
effect sensors will be interfered with.

Why's this being crossposted so so many random groups? I deleted the ones
that definitly have no relevance.
