These Rare Earth magnets are $3 for a ten pack at Harbor Freight. Appx 8mm in diameter. I like to keep the different oil cans close to the drill but found that to be a challenge until I placed a couple of these beneath the cans. There not going anywhere until I need one.
  Also, I discovered that when I inserted 3 magnets into this 1/4 sectioned piece of pipe insulation I have a mobile door guard for my lift. Previously I glued these guards to the posts but it proved too big of an attraction to the cat.    Now I just slide it up out of the cats reach when not in use.  |

Poke a screwdriver in it to make a sleeve for the magnet. QUOTE(bulitt @ Feb 15 2016, 11:14 AM) I'm loving the old oil cans! I use 'em.

Cats were an important part of a balanced environment there. And after 12 yr's in this home there are no mice "clue's" laying about.

I have on one the side of my drill press, it holds the chuck key so I don't lose it. And it does not need a chain like th one in my shop class in Jr. High.

Thanks for the info that Habor Freight has the Magnets. I bought Side Reflectors to go on my Teener. The original side markers were deleted. At night when driving, I worry about getting tee boned. I need strong magnets to glue on to the back of the reflectors so I can attach the reflectors on to the fenders when it's dark out. During the day I can pull the reflectors off, if they don't blow off first while driving.
