Be aware that the control boards used in some equipment don't take kindly to strong magnets in close proximity to them.
On a lot of inverter driven equipment, even the bigger commercial VRV stuff, just sticking a magnetic parts tray to the wrong spot on the cabinet can brick the control board.
The electronics in some cordless screw guns, and I assume some other tools with electronics, don't like magnets either.

True. I am wondering why this has not been done the the manufactures of gauges in the past. Did just think the hook was good enough? I am sure techs have had to call/write in about the crappy hook. I ordered one so I will check back in when I get it and put it through the motions. On display it seemed great, but field experience will tell the true test.....

maybe Testo should buy into this idea

There's a member here who wiped out his laptop hard drive with a combustion analyzer that has built in magnets

Somehow my iPhone has survived several instances of having my CA absent mindedly laid down on top of it, and even close contact with my magnetic parts tray.

i wonder if different types of magnets do less/more harm than other? Ceramic vs rare earth for example. I has been way too many years out of school to remember, but I do recall the teacher saying magnets have different properties ...So mabey it just depends on the type used in the strap.

I have a magnetic carabiner and a strap salvaged from an old tool bag. About 12" long. Haven't experienced any problems with my Digicools.
One way to outthink people is to make them think you think. They'll think you're not really thinking what you're trying to get them to think you think...........

EGADS, They are bending us over as bad as Fluke does for their $38 meter magnet strap!

It must be because it is made in USA. If it is made in China then would you buy it for say $20?
Not being sarcastic, just seems to be the big dilemma nowadays with equipment and tools.

[QUOTE=circus1412;15295551]it is China made---and no I still would not think its worth the price they ask for it.
