De-Magnetizing Fly tying Tools

Wow Stag, I never heard of anyone having a problem like this. But to answer your questions here are a few suggestions:

1. First, I’d find out how or why the tools got magnetized. So you can remove the problem

2. You purchase a degaussing tool to de-magnetize things, Probably run anywhere from $6 – $20

3. What I would try first is: take a magnet. It will have a north and south end that is magnetized. Take the side of the magnet and run it along your tool. Confusing? Yes! So, if you have a small magnet like the shape of a coin. One flat side of the coin magnet is the north pole and the other flat side of the coin magnet is the south pole. These sides are magnetized. Now, the edge of the coin is not magnetized OR has no magnetic qualities. Take that edge of the coin and run it up and down the side of your tool. In other words run the side of the magnet with no magnetic qualities up and down the tool. Think of it as the un-magnetic side of the magnet sucking the magnetism out of the tool. If that works I am a genius. if not, buy a degaussing tool.

Hi Dan,

You Tube has several different ways, some complicated, an easy one was hitting your tool with a Sledge Hammer?????  Hope you don’t go there.

The best one I saw was a De-magnitizer about $50.
