My favorites are the 3amp ones out of old Trane air handlers.

Yorks have 3amp and 5amp for the most part.

I use a magnet to hold my screws as not to lose them when im taking off panels and doors. Also the magnet works well when trouble shooting a gas furnace with a door switch ,the magnet will hold in the switch while you are tracing the wiring.

I've seen that little magnet tool they make for door switches but haven't felt I can't live without it yet. I use a magnetic bowl for screws, it's a $5
life saver at times.

I have a heavy duty magnet on a velcro wristband for holding screws.

Admin needs to sift through the B.S. posts on this thread and make it a sticky, there is really some good stuff here, still in school, but anywhere I can get a leg up is great, that first post with the schrader valve caps - putting them on the back of the manifold gauges is just genius, common sense if you think about it, but man I never thought of doing that when we're in lab at school. lol

We're here to learn and have fun, There can be a very serious thread going and after a while some guys can't follow and that is a good time for a little levity.

There are mostly senior guys and contractors who post and you can feel free to ask any question and we will be glad to help as much as possible.
But don't think the guys won't crack smart when they get a chance,it breaks up the monotony.

Good luck in school.

I'm always serious

I can no longer wear my magnetic wrist band while saying the pledge. My wrist getst stuck to my chest!

GaryB

I wore one of them magnetic wrist bands once.
Made a pass across my pacemaker in my chest with my arm and was in a coma for almost six months :p

RoBoTeq

I wasn't really serious. I just happen to have 13 stents in my heart, but magnetism doesn't affect them (I don't think, anyway). Do strong magnets really mess up pacemakers?

GaryB

Sorry I was just having some fun LOL. Guess it could happen though

With all of the things that do affect cardiac conditions, I am easy to dupe on the subject. Hell, my cardiolagist has even told me that tequila and steak chesapeake with escargot for an appetizer is bad for my heart! Go figure! I wish he had told me that before I had my second heart attack within hours of eating that mea.
