Demagnetizing Tweezers to Keep Steel Out of Solder

Learn why tools stored on magnetic strips pick up steel filings and how a demagnetizer clears them so they don't contaminate soldering.

I use magnetic strips, so my tools can become magnetically charged. In this scenario I had to grind these tweezers down and the little bits of steel are staying attached magnetically. So a solution is to use the demagnetizer. It works in seconds. This will prevent in this instance those bits of steel contaminating my soldering. Hope this is helpful!
