The first time I used a coil-type PVC bender, about three screwdrivers and a few pairs of pliers flew out of my pouch when I turned the thing on... I *was* standing/leaning close to it, but didn't expect it at all... The audience of co-workers in the plant were in various positions of obvious mirth when I finally realized I'd have to turn it off and let the tools hit the floor...
To have magnetism as a by-product, that thing was strong!
Anybody been there done that?
