I service and restore mechanical pocket and wristwatches. Ironically after considering the money I’ve put into tools and equipment I could have bought a couple of very nice watches that actually work, but then I wouldn’t get to crawl around on the floor with a magnetic wand trying to find a 3mm screw or spring.

Modal Auxiliary posted:You don't have one of these? You typically want to avoid magnetizing the parts since that can make the hairspring run weird and mess up the regulation and timekeeping ability of the watch. The wand is pretty much a last ditch effort to find what is basically a needle in a haystack. Parts usually only ping off across the room if you’re holding them wrong with your tweezers or you don’t properly stabilize a spring during installation.
