Magnetic Wrist Band

The Magnetic Wrist Band is designed to hold, for ready access, many of the items that are needed for maintenance/repair tasks-e.g., screws, nails, nuts, bolts, washers, drill bits. Basically, there are two types of such wrist bands-one is entirely fabric with powerful object-holding magnets inside; the other is a fabric cuff with a magnetized ‘tray’ on top that holds the items. Some slip over the hand and onto the wrist via stretchable elastic imbedded in the fabric; others are affixed to the wrist via Velcro straps. (These products are marketed under such brand names as MagnoGrip, Magwear, Pit Bull, and Super Wrist Magnet.)

Cost: $5-$25, depending on style

Impairment Category: Strength/endurance

Caution: Keep away from pacemakers and other magnetic-sensitive devices.
