Keep it together - Magnetic Tray

Online Radio Control Car & Truck Mechanic I was on your guy's Blog the other day and wanted to submit an idea that i've been using for a while. I had seen it on a site a while back, thought I would try it out. It works so good I wanted to share it with you and your readers. When I do any rebuild of my R/C, i use a metal magnetic tray from an auto parts store. It holds all the metal hardware from your rig in one spot. Just thought you would like to know.

Thanks Dan, yes this tip is something we also took advantage of a while back. I believe R/C Car Action Magazine had this one in an older issue. We use a couple of these automotive magnetic parts trays around our work area. They do work great. Thanks for the tip Dan, we will be sure to post it to let the rest of the world know. We also would like to add, that if you want to help magnetize your screw driver's tips, leave the tools with the tool end down in the tray for a week or so, or whenever you don't have anything n the tray and not working on anything. This will help make holding your screws at the end of the driver a lot easier for those hard to reach areas from time to time. Thanks again Dan.

If you want to get your own parts tray, any automotive parts store will carry them.
