Default Re: retrieve a washer dropped in the gearbox..cant believe i did it .

you can magnetize a screwdriver or most any metal rod by wrapping electrical wire round and round it then touch both ends of the wire to opposite battery posts,just a spark will do.then you have a magnetized rod of your preferred size and length
