Why this gift works

The RAK Magnetic Wristband is a padded band with strong magnets sewn in that holds steel screws, nails, bolts, washers and drill bits on the wrist while both hands work. It is ballistic nylon outside with a breathable padded mesh inside, and it closes with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap that fits most wrists.

It sounds like a gimmick until you are on a ladder hanging a cabinet with a screw in your mouth. For a woodworker or DIYer, it is a cheap, genuinely handy gift - and the kind of thing people show off to everyone else in the shop.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A DIYer who holds screws in their mouth
  • Someone hanging cabinets and trim this year

Think twice if

  • Their hardware is mostly brass or stainless

The catch

It only holds steel fasteners - brass and most stainless screws will not stick - and there is a gap in the magnets where the strap closes.

Skip for someone who mostly works with brass or stainless hardware.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • It holds magnetic (steel) fasteners only.
  • Keep it away from phones and cards with magnetic strips as a precaution.

Why we like it

  • Both hands free for the work
  • No fasteners dropping off ladders
  • Cheap and surprisingly useful

What to look for in a magnetic wristband

  • Magnet coverage. More magnets around the band means fewer dropped screws.
  • Comfort. Padding and a breathable lining matter for long jobs.
  • Fastener type. Only steel sticks - brass and most stainless do not.

Questions people ask

Steel screws, nails, bolts, washers and drill bits.
