Product Information
Full details
The Bosch Magnetizer / Demagnetizer is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals who frequently work with screws and small fasteners. Its key benefit is the quick and easy magnetisation and demagnetisation of screwdrivers and bits, significantly improving efficiency by ensuring screws securely adhere to the tool. A potential caveat is its reliance on ferrite magnets, which provide strong but fixed magnetic strength.

FAQs
How do I magnetise a screwdriver bit?
Insert the screwdriver bit into the designated magnetising slot (often marked with a '+' or similar icon) and slide it through. Hold it briefly, then remove. Repeat if necessary.

The device delivers a minimum magnetic field strength of 90mT.
What is the weight of the magnetiser/demagnetiser?
The Bosch Magnetizer / Demagnetizer weighs approximately 80 grams.
Can this be used with impact driver bits?
Yes, it can be used with most standard screwdriver and impact driver bits, provided they are made of a magnetisable material.
Does it require batteries or power?
No, this is a passive tool that uses built-in magnets and requires no batteries or external power source.
How should I clean the tool?
Wipe the tool with a dry cloth. Ensure the slots are free of any metal dust or debris.
Troubleshooting
Screwdriver bit does not seem to be magnetised.
Ensure the screwdriver bit is fully inserted into the magnetising slot and held for a few seconds. Check that the bit is made of a magnetisable material.
Demagnetising is not effective.
Ensure the screwdriver bit is fully inserted into the demagnetising slot and moved through the slot. For best results, slide the bit out of the slot slowly.
Device feels weak or ineffective.
Clean the slots of any dust or metal filings. If the issue persists, the magnetic properties may have diminished over extended use, and replacement might be considered.
