Tool Band-It Magnetic Arm Band - Black

Comment: Of the several similar items that I have tested out this is the ONLY one that actually works. The two I currently have have served we well and I will be purchasing more to allow me to carry more items. While they are a bit bulky to carry on my belt or on my wrists...their functionalite more than makes up for the minor inconvenience of size and the weight.

Comment: I bought this for my brother for Christmas, and he loves it! He is a handyman, and is always working up on the ladder. He said that the magnetic power is great, good enough to hold anything he's put on there, yet he is easily able to pull anything off. He recommends this for anyone who will be using tools anytime where it is not easy to move around, carry stuff, or up high on a ladder. Very happy with this, so much so that we bought one for our Dad for Father's Day!

Comment: I had seen this advertised on TV and thought, it seemed like a good idea, but if it was truly any good it would have found it's way into stores but I had never seen it. I finally saw a reasonable price with free shipping and decided to give it a try. I used it while assembling a new TV stand and it paid for itself the very first usage. This was one of those projects that comes with an allen wrench and dozens of screws to put in. For every assembly step, the exact number of screws was ready, on the arm band, along with the wrench. No fumbling around for parts or your tools, they're directly in reach on the band.

I've tested the magnet with mid-sze screwdrivers, wrenches, and needle-nose pliers. It held every tool easily. The magnet is strong enough to hold larger tools than you'd even need to use it for.

For the price, it's easily worth adding to your tools if you do a lot of assembly work with nails, screws, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. It's like the extra hand you always wished you had!!

Comment: Well, apparently, ours did not come with the Rare Earth Magnets b/c the only tools that it will hold are very lightweight tools. And I can't move my arm around or those fall off. So, if I am standing still with small tools attached, it works wonderfully. But if I am using it as the pictures or text suggests, it doesn't work at all. If I were more inclined, I'd get a refund but they priced it right - $20 isn't worth my time to go thru the ordeal of a return.

Comment: Bought this as a gift for my son. We put some fairly heavy tools on the band to see how well the magnets held. Both of us were impressed. A very handy gadget.
