not sure if the brushless motors from Milwaukee use Hall sensors such as Aveox or Maxcim the magnets could interfere with the proper operation of those if the magnet is to close and or to strong a field ….I would be cautious

Very good point Comp! I was kind of weary about this. I should include a “proceed at your own risk” lol.
Not a good idea! Interfering with magnetism is bad! Aside from the hall sensors, you could be diminishing the tool’s performance. science!

Pretty slick idea Nalu, man that is crazy strong to be able to hold it in place from the cabinet too!
If you don’t use them for drills, they make for very strong refrigerator magnets
Great way to recycle dude but electric motors + magnets aren’t always the greatest idea, that could be really good for some hand tools though, maybe the handle of hammer or to put on the inside of a plastic toolbox, I’m sure it’s strong enough to attract through the walls.

I made up something for hand tools using old Hard drive magnets works pretty slick…

That’s what I’m talking about, think about the money you save making your own too

Salvaged HD magnets are also great when you want some magnets to play with when you should be doing something productive… ask me how I know? lol

hmmmmm….it would seem like you have some personal experience playing with magnets while at work, lol. another fun thing to do is reply to comments on the TIA forum while doing something productive haha

I’m sorry, I don’t know what you are talking about. ;D
I took apart a whole bunch of drives this week and it seems like the magnet size increases with drive size. I mostly used drive under 500GB but I did do 1 1TB drive and the magnets were extremely strong. The brackets were also reinforced to the point that I couldn’t bend them behind the magnet. I have a couple of 2TB drives that I would be curious to see what’s in side but they aren’t quite old enough yet.
