Tried using a fridge magnet to find loose screws, saved my sanity

I started keeping a strong magnet on my bench to catch tiny screws before they vanish. Last week, it pulled a spring from inside a lens I was sure was lost forever. Now I won't work without it.

Guess my dramatic magnet saves me from my own butterfingers, so I'm with you there despite what @milascott says.

Old watchmakers in Geneva used them too.

Seems a bit dramatic for just finding screws. It's just a magnet.
