What reviewers say ??

Over 14,000 shoppers swear by this wristband's durability and handiness.

Pros ??

"I use this on a regular basis for holding sharp screws when I need a hand full," a five-star fan said. "Grabbing these screws poke into your hands and fingers, using this wrist magnet make handling them a breeze and speeds up my productivity."

"Very useful," shared another fan. "The magnets are a bit stronger than I first expected; they can even hold small tools occasionally which has been handy."

A fellow happy customer said it's a "must-have for all DIY projects." They continued, "I got this for my boyfriend's birthday and he absolutely loves it. So handy while we were redoing one of our bathrooms. Not having to hold screws or nails in your mouth or wondering where a drill bit went every time you turn around was so helpful and less time-consuming."

Cons ??

Shoppers say it could use a slight improvement.

"I like that the magnets on this band go nearly all the way around the wristband except where there is velcro," another fan wrote. "I wish it came in other colors than black so that it's easier to find."

"I have large wrists so the very large adjustable strap is great!" shared another shopper. "The only downside for me is the material irritates my skin if I don’t wear it in just the right spot. Aside from that, I’m very happy with the product."

Consider this your new assistant. Just strap this baby on your wrist, pop on a few screws and you're good to go.
