Magnetic Wrist Nail Holder — Episode 2: It comes in colors (everywhere)
Episode 1 back on October 13, 2005, featured your basic Henry Ford any-color-you-like-as-long-as-it's-black iteration.
Now comes the next wave, in red (above and below).
From the website:
- Magnetic Wrist Nail Holder
Now you won't have to work with a mouthful of nails or try to dig spikes out of your pocket while maintaining your balance on a ladder.
Incorporating six rare-earth magnets, this 13-1/2" long by 3-3/8" wide nylon wristband holds about 1 lb. of fasteners or drill and driver bits.
Its Velcro® backing adjusts to fit a wide range of wrist sizes and can even be worn over a jacket or sweatshirt.
A very handy tool.
Looks like my snarkiness is spreading — the website above states "Screws not included."
Bonus: It's even cheaper now than it was back in 2005, when it would have set you back $19.50.
But I'm just getting started.
What if I told you you could have one in Sky Blue or Yellow — for only $18?
Would that rev your engine?
Yes?
OK, then, without further ado, the envelope, please.
- Magwear™ Magnetic Wristband
With this handy magnetic wristband, you'll never have to hold another nail in your mouth ever again.
Simply strap this magnetic tray onto your wrist and the powerful pull of the magnet will hold most hardware, tools and other metallic objects conveniently on your wrist.

Comments
I just purchased the magnetic wrist nail holder at my local Lee Valley Tools outlet and used it on a job -and I'll be returning it to the point of sale this week.
This product doesn't even come close to the one pound holding strength it boasts.
It has only three "panels" (approx. 1.5" x 2.75" ea.) with two tiny rare earth magnets inside each panel -and due to the the thickness of the cover material and the size of the magnets my unit could only hold approximately eight to ten 3" x #8 deck screws before others would start falling off. These were somewhat large screws that could span both magnets to help better secure them -I can only imagine that holding smaller screws would be an even tougher task for this product.
If you are going to hammer nails it gets even worse. Having the band on the wrist you hammer with is easiest because you can remove a nail and hold it with the opposite hand and then drive the nail, but sudden jarring of the wrist magnet sends nails flying all over the place.
Otherwise you must take three or more steps to get the nail into the appropriate hand to drive it with the other -not very handy, I might as well have reached into my pocket for them.
This is un-satisfactory.
Think long and hard before making your purchase -if you only need to hold a few small objects it works fine, but more than that is asking too much.
