-*Save old magnets that are being thrown away (from old car speakers, or refrigerator/freezer sealing strips, computer hard drives, etc.) They have many uses:
-#Place magnets over masking material to keep from blowing around.
-#Use magnets to hold fire blankets in place while welding.
-#Use a magnet in a plastic bag to pick up nails and screws. When done, turn the bag inside out; the metal parts are in the bag, and the magnet stays clean.
-#Put large magnets along the outside of your tool box, and you can suspend your tools from inside.
