hi,
one simple question, the screwdrivers that are used to repair pc's,, does it matter if they are magnetized????? for motherboards,hdd's etc........
or should they NOT be?
 
Solution
Hi nikospc,

Ideally they should not be. Certain internal components do better when not exposed to magnetization.

The strength of most magnetized tools often isn't enough to seriously damage the components, but if you can avoid it you should.
