Tool Tip: Magnetic Wristband – Your DIY Third Hand

By Cade Shadowlight

Available on Amazon

Picture this: you’re gripping a hammer in one hand, steadying a board with the other, clinging to a ladder with your third… wait, you’re out of hands! So, you stuff nails between your teeth, only to realize they taste awful and you can’t grab just one without dropping them all. Sound familiar? A magnetic wristband is the fix for these DIY disasters.

This simple gadget—a Velcro strap loaded with strong magnets—wraps around your wrist to securely hold nails, screws, bolts, nuts, or tacks. It’s like having a third hand, leaving your actual hands (and mouth) free for the task at hand. I’ve used my MagnoGrip Magnetic Wristband (Amazon link) for years, and it’s a game-changer. Its powerful magnets grip metal fasteners of all sizes, and the durable ballistic polyester holds up to heavy use. Other brands exist, but I can only vouch for this high-quality gem.

Add a magnetic wristband to your toolkit—it’s a cheap, clever solution for homesteaders, preppers, and DIYers
