This is a great item for any handyman or mechanic. It's magnetic and will stick anywhere there is metal. Holds nuts and bolts close by so you won't lose them.

A very handy product. Now I no longer have to look for screws, nuts, and washers on my garage floor. If your eyes are a little older like mine, you will really appreciate this product.

My husband is constantly doing bike repair in our backyard. In the middle of each repair session I would hear, "ARGH! (insert expletive here)" because he'd lose a bolt or screw or nut...NO MORE. For our anniversary I bought this magnetic bowl and it has been bliss ever since. He said, "You REALLY know how to pick out a perfect present, Honey!" GET ONE. You will love it.

Almost every small part these days are an aluminum alloy......which is a non ferrous metal......which is not magnetic..........hmm. I guess if you're working on a bike pre-2000, it may make sense.

This magnetic bowl works great, but be aware it is only 6 inches in diameter which is not mentioned in the description.

This bowl is small, but just right for tiny bike parts or if you are one to disassemble electronic cases or cabinets you will appreciate knowing every small item will hold fast to this very strong magnet. Blue color helps to identifiy small parts easier too over the chrome or stainless steel magnetic bowls. Bottom magnet is very powerful.

This came as an add on to another order. It is a nice item to have went trying to keep screws from rolling all over the shop table. My only gripe is that the magnet is very strong and it can be a bear sometimes to move the bowl.

This magnetic bowl works perfectly to keep all those small nuts, bolts and washers from rolling off while you are working on your bike. Just remember though if its not metal it won't engage the magnet...learned this the hard way when a piece I thought was metal was not and I accidentily dumped the bowl...all the metal parts stayed in place but the others went everywhere. My fault not the bowls. I keep it right on top of my workbench and eaisly drop pieces in it as I work.

... and magnetically sticks to the top of my metal tool box.
I love mine.

steel things stick to it so I guess it does its job nicely. I can magnetically stick it to my upright toolbox and just throw screws at it and they just stick.
