TIL a $60 magnetic bowl for screws is worth every penny

I was putting up some trim in a tight attic space last week. My old plastic cup kept tipping over, spilling screws into the insulation. I grabbed a magnetic bowl from the truck, which cost about sixty bucks. It stuck right to the metal ductwork next to me, and I didn't drop a single fastener the whole job. Anyone have a good spot to keep it on your belt so it's not in the way?

Try a magnetic wristband for less.

My buddy got one of those for his knee. Said it felt like a regular sweatband, did nothing. Total waste of cash.

Ugh, seriously? I bought one of those copper compression sleeves for my elbow last year. Wore it for two weeks straight and my tendon still felt like garbage. It just got all sweaty and slid down my arm. Felt like I paid thirty bucks for a fancy tube sock.
